How about giving US some information here - like a diary! But even without a diary, I'd ask why she's still in such a small peat pot? She needs to be in a much larger pot and she needs to start on some good NPK nutes. When you place her, pot and all, into a larger pot, either bury the entire pot or rip that part of the peat pot that will stick up out of the soil off... you don't need it wicking any water away from your grow.... PH is going to be one of the most important things you need to monitor. Make sure you're giving her water/nute solution that has been pH'd to between 6.0 and 6.5 .... and start her off slowly with the nutes - 1/4 strength at first... if she tolerates them, you can increase. And make sure she has a dry/wet cycle - in other words, make sure you're letting the soil dry out before watering/feeding her again. Practice the routine of water/feed/water/feed... But start a diary here... if this is your first grow, you'll probably have other questions and concerns and we're going to need all of the info that is contained in that diary in order to be able to help you best.... And don't lose hope - I screwed up my first grow to a faretheewell and still got a good harvest from her - you can, too! Good luck...

You need less light, at least for a bit... the nodes are too tightly backed and may have temporarily stunted gowth. Also, it needs fertilizer... it's clearly hungry. no info given to help you on fertilizers... all i can say is ratio, concentration and pH are all equally important factors. irrigation practices.. always irrigate entirety of media... if soilless, you want 10% or more runoff waste (down drain o toss outside). if soil, you still want to be crtain you don't leave dry pockets repeatedly as these zones will be prone to mineral buildup and all sorts of pH swings etc... generally unhealthy for roots. But, minimal runoff is goal here since oyu don't want to waste the nutrient charge of your soil or your fertilizers are microbe-dependent etc and need time before they are plant available.. can't be washing that away with runoff and think it's optimal, right? until you learn more keep it simple... wait for pot to be very light before irrigating again. in soil, top 1" dries and feel weight of pot.. good indicator. with coco, wait for superficial layer to dry on top and feel weight for indicator... if you always water at same weight of the pot, it'll require a simila volume of water to accomplish the task... *you dont' pick volume.. you give what is necessay to achieve what is described in previous paragraph.

Really hard to guess with absolutely no information: what is pH of your water? Did you feed her with fertiliser? How frequently you water it? Do you let the soil dry out a little bit between waterings? What is the temperature? Taking in account this is your first grow, you’re on the second week of veg (3 weeks = 1 week of germination + 2 weeks of veg), and you desperately trying to help her, you probably overfed her, or overwatered heavily. This is a common mistake among new growers. So we need more details from you, try to answer the questions I mentioned above. It will be much easier to find out what’s going on with your small lady.
