First off, forgive me for this post, your so called form makes no sense to me so ill just explain my set up.
Grow Box:
A card board box, inverted so Mabey 2 feet tall, 1.5 foot deep 1.5 foot wide.
The inside is lined with foil for ultimate light refraction ha. the top of my box has a hole in it where my flouresent light fixture goes down in to the box. the fixture has 2 24 inch 24-watt light "tubes". (one Is a Plant and aquarium bulb, the other a "daylight" bulb. i dont think that matters much, i could be wrong.) i run them about 12 hours a day
Where the box normally Opens, I Have a stupidly low power fan blowing in. all the air in the box (the exhaust i guess u can call it), Is Pushed out the top hole. Pic Below
The Plant(s):
Planted in the bottom half of a gatoraid bottle (for Now).
The soil quality is probably not the Greatest. its like half potting soil
half dirt i dugg up in my Backyard. i did microwave soil after i mixed it.
My water probley not the Greatest quality either. basically Tap water. (bad idea definetly). I keep The Plant Mabey an Inch from the light.
The plant it self Has 2 big single segment leafs on bottom and has two small ones growing two more segmants each althought very small. colors fine and looks pretty healthy. Pic below even tho poor
Problem: It looked like that mabey two or three weeks ago and It has not Grown at all since it sprouted its second set of leaves. i dont understand why this is happening or if its normal or not. any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
