From What I see and reading the log, you are over 3 months into this grow something is serriously wrong.
From your last pics your soil looks extreamly dry, need to water them, I use a $10.00 hydrometer from HD to check my soil between waterings to make sure they need it.
Lighting what are you using and what kind of time cycle are you on? When you say light from a lamp do you mean 100w incadecent light (standard every day lightbulb)?

If so I think this is the root of your grow issues, they produce to much heat and the wrong color spectrum for growing, that will explane the very slow growth and the burnt leaves.

If you want to save this crop and learn to flower you need to replace that light with a CFL rated at 2100 kelvin or warm white, water the plants, get a timer and set it to 12/12 hours on and off.

Once you have done this check back in with some pics and we will go from there.

WULOL.
Jerry Garcia 2007 Reviewed by Jerry Garcia 2007 on . Ursine's first grow - The trial and error log This will be my first ever grow log. I am a longtime stoner but first time grower. I have spent many days reading up on growing but its so overwhelming I think I am going to just try it first and see what happens and my next crop get into it right. So anyways, I planted 4 seeds on Aug 17th and I will post the first pics when they sprout. I think 2 of the seeds are white widow, one is northern lights, and one is a mystery, maybe Gods Gift. Lesson #1: I already killed one plant last week Rating: 5
