Here’s the story:
Everything was fine until yesterday night.
I watered with spray and let the plant under this 24w full cycle led(waiting for the strong cfl).
This morning opened the box and found the plant a little under the portable fan because my Brother moved the box during night.I checked the max temperature and It was 45 degree…
Ok so we got a burning growbox for about 1 h before the timer had put off the lights during night.
I sprayed water,put the pot at direct sunlight until today’s 7 pm and It seemed to be less “clawing”.
Being worried the plant could be underwatered I put some water,maybe une Cup,not so much,directly in soil.Finally put the pot insider the box,Turned on light with timer set and temperature Is fine,the portable fan I moved It outside so It cannot damage te plant
My Guess Is that Yesterday the box was too hot,heatstress,Wind stress because the fan was literally almost on the plant causing It to lean a bit,and a bit too much water.
Yes all of the above can cause problems a cup of water should be good for a week . How high is your light to the plant I had plants getting deformed leaves with a red blue led being too close to the plants .

Your on the right track light too close high heat windy sounds like you’ve adjusted all should see improvements soon.

Hi, sorry for no reply in 10 days, but i’m not very often here on OG…
Anyway, now you have some LED power, that’s good! 
Also the white LEDs are good, BUT you kept the lights very close to the plant, and that’s the reason the plant did not grow but suffered light damage and stayed very small, stunted! 
Put the white lights in there together with the purple, if you have a computer fan that pulls the air out of the box so that you can keep temperature at max.30 around the plant tops…
All the lights would be good together, but do not put any light closer than 20cm to the plant before it is big and well into flower. Even if your LED lamps are so “small” compared to really big growlights, they still have serious power when they are close enough to the plant! 20-30cm distance between light and plant should be good. When the plant has been in flower for a month, THEN you can have the lights a bit closer, like 10-15cm from plant’s highest tip…! 
It would be quite easy to make a reflector in the box, either make one wide cone- (like a round pyramid shape with 45 degree angles…) reflector per white light, and cut some small air-holes in the foil close to the lamp, so the hot air from the lamp gets away. Make like 8 holes with a pencil per cone, that should be enough.
…or make flat and BIG reflector sheets/boards, and put them against the upper sides/corners of the box. That way you use the whole box as a reflector! Then of course you keep the lamps free, no individual reflector cones.
And, just a reminder; mirrors do NOT work! Alu-foil (the matte side) is good. Matte white Acrylic paint on all inside surfaces of box also works very good, even a little bit better than alu-foil. And nicer to look at, some would say. (BUT… if you paint the box white, do not keep the plant in the box when paint is still fresh, as it is toxic air to a plant until it is completely dry!
Good luck!

Little update:cfl lamp got broken while shipping…I got a partial refund plus another led lamp sane model.So,together It s 48 pure wattage Power(240 nominale wattage).I think they are enough with 8 ha of sunlight directly into the plant.I removed the two White Leds.Plant looks less clawing.
Sprayed once with water and now I amo going ti sleep lights off.12 h light -12 darkness schedule starter today.

Many thanks.Actually the plant It s too small if we think she set her free like 6 days ago from the seed shells hat and show cotyledons,I think it Is not a success but I have now more knowdoledge to grow the two more seeds remaining.Let me know what you think about new update schedule <3
Peace

Just One question because I am curious:today I had to do something and brought my plant inside at 7 pm about,I put It outside at 9 am and it’s many direct sun light h,but had to put It in the box without any light on 'cause I had a problem and had to go very Quick.So here’s the question:I have Always done about 15 h light totally and the remaining were dark hours,Will today’s mistake (10 h light and remaining dark hours) affect my cycle or my plant?(autoflowering obviously)

I was gonna say… “Hope you have an autoflower.” …And you did, good! 
-Because they are easier and they don’t get unbalanced/“freaky” (hermaphroditism…) if not everything with light is always perfect. 
Autoflowers are MUCH more forgiving plants to new growers, and to everyone of course, if a mistake should happen because of something unpredictable.
That said, there are quite many photoperiod strains that give a better, “cleaner” effect than any autoflower can give. Like 100% pure sativa strains. They don’t exist as autoflower, and probably never will. (although Zamaldelica Auto seems very promising!) Maybe it’s the same with pure indica strains, but difference there is not that great because the wild siberian ruderalis (=autoflower gene… origin of original “Lowryder” strain & Finola oil-hemp strain etc… interesting stuff…!!) is more like an indica anyway?
So, my answer would be: It’s ok and do not worry about the light rhytm irregularity of 1 day. Not even a few days is anything to worry about. But try that they don’t happen many in a row…

Thanks you so much,It s growing bigger.She started vegging about 3rd April,so It s 8 days about.
Anyway…
I am on a very budget and,was thinking if buying this Amazon light woukd help me with the 24watt led I already own(very strong light) to pair with or buy a grow tent for cheap and Riso that this lamp Will not fit into a bought grow tent(6060120)
I mean,I can Stick this lamp with DIY methods in my cardboard box,but idk if a real grow tent cannot mount that,or even my two fans wont fit into…
So,would It Be Better ti buy this
and attach It to my cardboard roof with the other lamp…Any advice?
Naah, I would still recommend a WHITE light. So you can see the plant and any “errors” in natural colours! Have a look at what I grew with VERY cheap white LED lights in small speaker boxes… First one was with a 16w “bulb” white (4000Kelvin) LED, and the other with 30w white (4500Kelvin) COB-LED “worklight” :

I have red already of the Jungle woofer with the Finola Miss foxtail,and that Is why I bought Finola seeds (not fem so I got Onlus males and have up)
I wonder why I can’t grow my plant with Just the 6500k led bulbs(18 watt) and the lamp.Maybe it’s because my box Is bigger?
Cause we have totally 24+18 watt leds and cannot understand why I am failing and why I don’t see my plant growing from that leds…???
I think I miss something

Well, 4000 or 4500K is MUCH better than 6500K if you only use 1 light. If you can have many lights mixing, that can be best…
I have experience with a failured grow of my own with only a 6000-6500K LED light. So maybe they are really bad on their own, it could well be. Even if 6500K Fluorescent is ok. It’s not same technology after all… 
But remember to only buy new kind of LEDs like “COB” or “Quantum Boards” and similar technology. Basically, the light source in these look like small square flat LED diodes, and not round like a tiny bulb/ball (that’s the old 1w, 3, and 5w ones…). Even the more recent LED-bulbs from the grocery store have very small COBs in them. (= small square of yellow tiny flat squares…)
