no pics for now since my roommate is out of town and his camera is way better than mine, but an update: the leaves are all dark green now! they have gotten bigger, the new growth is opening up and growing, and the leaves are all rigid and upright now! i think this is a good sign 
That sounds great dude! Glad they are fast on the road to recovery.

just FYI for everybody the guy who he adopted this plant from was me. i'm a terrible grower lol, i really need to read up on basic horticulture and such next time i attempt a grow but it won't be for a while since the electric bills were so high and i really cant afford to pay them. plus i was getting sketched out about growing in my apt.
so yeah i'm a terrible grower and i seriously abused my bud plant. My only defense is i was following my roommates advice because he claims to have grown before. Though after what happened to the plant i think hes full of shit.

you may have that seedling too close to the light, or you may be having a PH problem. See how your leaves margins are curling upwards?

the margins are only curling upwards on the topmost set of leaves. should i raise the light? it doesnt seem to be burning the leaves, but maybe i'm just too new to know this.
i'm watering with the water adjusted to a pH of 6. is that too acidic?

ideal is 6.2 for something that size I believe.
6 should be basically bang on.

yes, move it up a couple of inches. If you don't have a small circulating fan in the cabinet you might want to add one. Also, 6.0 might be a tad bit too acidic. I'd aim for 6.2-6.5. Ph probably isn't the problem here, it's more likely to be heat, but you never know.

i'm using a colored indicator to test and adjust, how do i go for 6.5? look for the color that is a mix of the 6 color and 7 color? lol. i moved the light up about 2 inches this morning before going to work. and yes i have a fan recirculating, if you look at the beginning of the thread you can check out the box i have it in.

do you guys think this plant is gonna go hermie if it was in fact a female before? it seems to hve made a pretty good recovery.... and about how much longer should i keep it in vegetative? its almost 9 weeks old now but still small. what if i put it into 12/12 in about a month? will it get big/healthy enough by then, given its history?

can't really tell you if it's going to hermie or not. Any type of stress on a plant is not good, but chances are you'll be ok. I would wait until you see preflowers before flipping the lights.

alright, i'll read up on preflowers. with what the plant has been throuhg, about where is it in its lifecycle now? i would assume it isnt at the same developmental stage as a plant the same age that has been healthy its whole life. is my plant now equivalent to a 3 wk old healthy plant or something like that?
