This my 2nd grow and I'm having problems figuring out what is wrong with my plant. My setup is: kind led xl750 light with blue light and uv spectrum at 100% and red spectrum at 50% intensity on a 20/4 schedule. Light is also 21" above the top of the plant. Temp is a high of 75degrees F and low of 64 degrees F at night. And is currently at 25% humidity. I am using roots organics original soil and half dosage recommended of these nutes, House-Garden soil A&B and roots excelurator gold and algen extract. It looked really good after 2 weeks and I've been playing with how I am watering it, being sure not to overwater so I let it dry out n it looked to be rebounding then the next day I would find the plant curled up. Watered it until some drainage from bottom of container and have been sticking finger 1-2" into soil to check for dampness as to not overwater. And she has perked up a bit but not what she was looking like a week ago. The 18th will be the 3rd full week since being planted. Next thing I was going to do is raise the humidity another 10-15% from research I was doing. If the strain matters it's purple kush. The 1St pic was taken about 24hrs ago n 2nd pic about an hr ago. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

you need some serious help here. the plant should be 3 times that size by about 7 days.
when you water at that size, only give about 1 oz of water MAX. wait 2 days and give another 1-2oz. Don't give any nutes in that soil at that stage.
you have a lot of learning to do.
Ok Sammons riddle, I know I have alot to learn, but I realizedon't I had to be doing something wrong. I want to learn and be able to grow the best plants possible. That's why I had to put my pride of doing it solely on my own behind me and search for help. Thanks for the info tho

You MIGHT want the lights a little higher (LEDs are weird like that), and it's over-watered. If I fed at all, it would be like 1/5th or less the suggested strength. Check your water pH too. If it's from seed, the plant isn't THAT stunted, but it is small. My plants that are 2 weeks old (from seed) aren't quite that big yet, but my 3-week-olds are about 6-10 inches tall, at node 6/7 right now. It will grow quickly when you get it dialed in.
Here is not the BEST example, but close. The one on the left is 3 weeks after sprouting. The one on the right is 2 weeks EXACTLY from being *planted*. Those are 1 gal pots.

The main thing you will learn is patience. In soil, recovery takes time
- sometimes a week or more. What you will learn to do is read the plant and let it tell you what it needs.
I always thought you blast the fucker full of food and it takes off like a rocket. That's just not the way our beloved plants work. You give them enough to keep them healthy and they reward you.
You are working on the hardest part (personally for myself), which is watering during the early stages of your plant. Let the thing dry out and give it just enough water to let it keep going but not be sopping wet. It may be a few days before it dries out but if you can raise the temp (not to extremes) and get a light breeze on the soil, you can speed it up.
Good luck and have a good time learning.
