I really don't know how to explain this so I posted some pictures of my marijuana plant.

From the pics it looks like you are severely overwatering and it appears that the stem may be rotting. Let the medium dry out, do not add water again until it is dry. If you stick your finger in and feel moisture, hold off. Also, pay attention to the weight of the container, that's how I typically judge when to water. Light pot needs water, heavy pot is wet. Takes a time or 2 to tell the difference, but it's pretty reliable.
We would need a little more info to delve any deeper into other issues you may have, I just wanted to suggest that because if you continue you will starve the plant of oxygen and potentially kill it.
Look in the plant problems section for the troubleshooting form and cut and paste your answers here. I'm sure some people will be willing to help out.

Irydyum has you on the right track. They've been habitually overwatered.
Did you poke holes in the cup for proper drainage? What potting mix are you using? How often do you water?
Do you have any more seeds? Because I doubt these are going to be worth saving. Slight possibility of improvement, but you might be chasing problems throughout the grow as a result of this stress.
Reading till your eyes bleed helps prevent these problems. Getting familiar with the FAQ's section and the growlog section would likely be a benefit.

Well I'm using miracle grow, yes I do have holes for proper drainage, and I water everyday. =/

Medium just means your soil or hydro set up. What youre growing in.

Your soil is a medium. These mediums include, but are not limited to...soil, soilless, potting mix, coco noir, assorted composts...
In hydro, the medium is Hydroton Balls or similar. (I think)
He's refering to MG soil, I believe. An acceptable medium once the gardener is acclimated. :thumbsup:
