Dark leaves and short/compact plant

18 days from seedling. Dark and a bit rumpled/twisted leaves. Branches are coming out but they don't have much space to breathe from the big leaves. Started topping with some chicken manure pellets, too much nitrogen? Also, the 36W LED lamp is only 20 cm away.

I think the manure was too much. Definitely too much nitrogen as the leaves are shiny and very green. You wouldn’t think a lower wattage light could be too much and it’s not really BUT it’s keeping the plant very short and node spacing too tight because it’s too content and not moving up for light. I’d transplant it to new pot (bigger) lay off nitrogen and move that light up some. Good luck

As everyone has already said, to small a pot, way to much nitrogen.

Over fed and becoming stunted from being in a container that is waaay too small also. A 36 watt light can hardly be capable of providing too much light......

The plant is mutating because the nutrition is too strong. The Shiney leaves is nitrogen toxicity. The plant is also getting too much light to have to search for it. So it's staying compact.

the light is too close which is why the plants so compact , you want the plant to stretch a little towards the light to get a decent height and structure
