Hello people! This is my first cannabis plant, I have few knowledge and I'm in need of your help. My plant is 52 days old, and only 11cm. She is as you see in the photo. I have her indoors, she receives natural light, and I usually water her every 2 days. For what I've studied, she should be bigger at this stage. Her seed leaves (the first ones) are withering, which I think is normal, but then the other 2 in the top of them are getting a spot of yellow/orange in the tip. The plant keeps on developing on top, but seems somehow weak. Can you give me some advice? Thanks in advance!

This is my first plant. She's 52 days old, and 11cm tall. Is she too small for her age? Also does anything look wrong with her? (illness, lack of nutrients, etc) I noticed that the 2 leaves (those after the withering seed leaves) have an orange spot in the tip.

Ok well my profile may say I'm a rookie , but this isnt true ;) I have had a problem like this before and it's an EASY solution: Get a CFL compact florescent light or any florescent(6500k if possible )and put it over your plant , keeping it as close to the ant as possible without burning it . Usually you can get pretty close (probably less than 2 inches ) to the plant . Do this for a week or two , after that I promise this will solve you problem because: Your plant has put all it energy into stretching towards a light it cant reach . If you get that light close it will stop stretching at put focus in to other parts that will strengthen the stem . Also I would suggest low nuitrents for the next 2 weeks . I have brought ants BACK TO LIFE with this technique so it will work . Keep it up . The first grow is the hardest but when it's done you will be HOOKED :) The heat

She looks ok considering at a guess lack of light plus lack of nutrient

My little plant is getting better in spite of everything 😅 I gave her more light, better soil and a kabob stick to support the frail stem. She grew more and it's getting a darker green color. I guess she might not become a great strong plant, but I will still care for her and see what happens. As my first plant it's a learning experience. I guess if I had put her outside in the first place (or under a LED light as some advised me), she might have evolved better since the first week. For my next seeds, I will wait for mid spring and warmer weather to plant them. I might as well need a proper tent with proper lights and all, but it's just a dream, for now at least. 😂 I will keep you updated about my little Swiss dwarf as long as she wants to continue growing, being it slowly or not!
