Many questions:

1.) What kind of soil are you using

2.) Are these just bag seeds?

3.) What's your watering schedule?

4.) What kind of light are you using?

5.) What's that twine in the pictures for? Are you trying to LST?

Exactly what I was trying to find out, they are wilting quite a bit

Many questions:

1.) What kind of soil are you using - Some gardening soil I picked up from Home DePOT lady told me it was good shit to grow weed lol. (Not Kidding)

2.) Are these just bag seeds? - Yeah there from a bag of weed I picked up in mexico it was good shit but I don't know I just wanna make sure I can do it before I grow good stuff.

3.) What's your watering schedule? - I havent really figured out a schedule yet because I'm always doing something so it's pretty much when the soil looks dry to me. (I think I might be over wattering though sometimes I spray it a few times a day)

4.) What kind of light are you using? - 400watt Metal Halide

5.) What's that twine in the pictures for? Are you trying to LST? - No I just didn't have enough soil at the moment to keep the plant up straight so I tied it up to a holder thingy.

Well, IMHO, it looks like you're overwatering like italiano suggested. They are wilting quite a lot and your soil looks DAMP.

Let the plants dry out a bit and let their cells regain their rigidity. The thing about overwatering is it chokes the roots so the plant can't uptake any oxygen. I assume that this causes the plant to wilt from an absence of O2 in the cells.

Give your plant a few days without watering them and see how they're doing

Hope we all helped,

Alright Ill try that, what should I do for a water schedule? How many times a week or a day? Thanks for all the help everyone. Now will my plants grow without nutes?

[SonicHaze]

I would water like once every 3 days, until it drains out of the bottom of your pot. (assuming you have appropriate drainage)

[c0mrade]

Alright so I let the plant go the whole night under the light soil looking ALOT more dry but plant in the same state. Gotta go to work atm will be home soon any suggestions?

Put a fan on 'em and don't water again till the pot feels unusually light.
Do you have adequate ventilation besides the holes in the box? If not, you are restricting the co2 levels and stressing with high humidity and possibly too warm. No nutes till you get it back on track.

Filling out the troubleshooting form takes out most of the guesswork for us though.
