my plant is a little over 3 weeks old and leaves are drooping too much,the plant has stopped growing and the bottom leaves had become brighter. i am using organic soil, and a large 27watt CFL. I am growing it in a clear container, which i thought could be one of the problems. but im not completely sure.

Right. Clear containers arent good because it exposes the roots and under soil to the light. Also 27 watt isnt going to do you through the entire grow. Is it a 27 watt equivalent or 27 watts of CFL? Either way, my CFL grow used four 80 watt CFL photography bulbs. Look up lumen outputs when you're looking for bulbs cause thats the important in terms of growth. Atleast 10,000 lumens is needed. Maybe invest is 8-10 23 watt CFLs
