Not good. Your growing it with another plant? And it looks as if it's begging for sun light. Notice how far it's streched out! idk what can help anymore.

yeah i did notice that its kinda streched out but i thought it was just getting bigger lol and yeah i did plant it with a palm only to see if it would even grow so you think a window grow is just a waste of time or do you think if i were to start a grow in a window that gets more light would work

Hate to rain on your parade, but a window grow is going to disappoint you. Not enough lumens to ever get your plant beyond the conversation piece level. It will eventually get tall and have a few leaves, but the quality will be about the same as lawn clippings.

All i can say use that same soil and do the SAME Thing you were doing. Just in a different pot buy its self. because the plant looks healthy.

doesn't really look healthy at all when i look at the other plants on this site but anyway so all i would need is a bulb like this http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10051&langId=-1&catalogId=10053&productId=100054121&N=10000003+90373+503111&marketID=373&locStoreNum=6175 and any bullshit hanging lamp or does it need a special type of lamp
my grow space is about 3ft by 3ft

it accualy looks healthy. Its just a little streached, Try and transplant it. Dig it up and plant into its own pot and soil. And that link it doesnt go anywhere when i click it. it says its not viewable or some crap

Good, I believe a breeze is good. It helps strengthen the stem. but wow i dont see any improfections on the plant, only its to tall for its age. its fine though. also the soil medium your using must be good because i dont see any nute burn or anything like it. Keep it up and experiment. Because Im also growing my 1st time and i got 2 growing. and its for expericance so keep it going

The dark colour on the tips of older leaves i believe is ok.

i think the plant went into shock or its dying because of the transplant but im not to sure it looks really droopy and weak today

Water it. Till water drips out of the holes in the pot to make sure its watered. Then wait. It should pop back up.

well instead of just throwin the dead plant away i decided to try and make hash oil(just a lil to try) so i broke up the plant leaves and all and took about a gram of stems i had and mixed it with some rubbing alcohol put in the sun to evaporate some of the alcohol
do you think this will work? or does the plant(+stems) have way too little thc?

I'm pretty sure that the leafs and stems are useless (no THC).

you made that ISO hash wrong.....iv'e never tried it (i use home-made bubble bags)....but, you put the plant material in a sealable container with the iso alcohol (you can also rinse the plant material down with just water to get some of the chlorphyll and other impurities out)shake it up for awhile, then pour the alcohol onto a tray or glass dish, straining out the plant material so your left with yellowish greenish iso alcohol on the tray or dish, let this evaporate, then just scrape up the remaining sludge/powder.....TADA!!! ISO hash.
