Do some reading.....Then, do some more reading.
You have to want to learn how's it's done.

I would get those bulbs on the top facing downwards. The top bulbs should be the main light source. If you have to bend the fixture then bend it. Or get it the fuck out of there. If you can keep it and make it work its going to be better for you. It already has two bulbs that face down. Thats a win. Now just get those higher wattage bulbs up top and have the one on the right at 315 degrees, and the one on the left at 225 degrees. (Im talking the angle of the bulb) So they make the top part of a triangle above the plant.
Right now those two bulbs on the top are doing absolutely nothing except making it warmer in there.
The side lights look like they are hanging from some home made extention cord. Thats gotta go. What most guy run is a Y splitter off of a socket which hangs from a plug cord. You buy these at hardware stores. Its just a cord with a socket, plug a Y splitter into it (also from a hardware store in the electrical section) that and it has two sockets and bam!...two bulbs, one Y on each side of the plant. Done. And its adjustable up and down or side to side with a couple screws and a half pipe clamp into the ceiling.
Ok so now theoretically you have some nice big bulbs on top at a 90 degree angle, over the plant. And two Y'ed off sockets on either side for four more bulbs, making 6 bulbs on the plant.
You probably want a power strip mounted on the top of the cab. Then everything runs up and into the power bar.
To be honest the whole set up pisses me off. No good planning, no reading, shitty equipment used, obviously theres no money to spend on the grow judging by the shitty lighting. I could go on but im done.
Theres a section of rollitup called cfls or something, micro grows? I dont know but you need to start reading it because your grow is embarrassing. Just fix that cab and dont post pictures of it until its better. Your gonna burn your house down with it if you keep running that abortion. Then when your done learn how to water a plant correctly and feed it right. Good luck.

Worst advice possible on this one. Overthinking is the least of this guys worries. Your pissed off right now but you know im right. Let me rephrase it for you.....
"Growing weed isnt simple, if you dont overthink it you might as well go buy it from someone who can get the job done right."

very true but on the other side of that over thinking shit and not making thought processing simple you will end up fucking shit up more than fixing it with a simple thought process and a solution to the prob

Dont try and give me a hippy answer. Growers are scientists and doctors. The shit people grow gets consumed into the human body. Do me and everyone who comes in contact with your product a favor and put some thought into it, and maybe a little planning. There is no otherside of it. Theres the wrong way and the right way. If you dont know then just "toke on" and read.very true but on the other side of that over thinking shit and not making thought processing simple you will end up fucking shit up more than fixing it with a simple thought process and a solution to the prob

Wow dude everybody's got to start from somewhere, I think it's better to go easy on new growers because they can easily be discouraged....I know sometimes it can be irritating to see things like this as an experienced grower, but remember, always remember, we all started from somewhere.

if he learned one thing from my post it was a success. And i think he learned more than one thing. I dont think hell get discouraged. Hes put in too much work to give up now. He just has to get it right so he can teach the new guys how to do it right one day. You watch, by next year he'll be running 10 thousand watts and pulling two pounds a light.

Guys, what if I say my plant leaves are curling and leaves are going downwards because of heat and low humidity, am I right? Oh and also, can I clone my plant already or na? I got hormone rooting powder.

Leaf canoeing , curling of the leaves can be cause by heat,never known it to be caused by humidity unless it's of the scale high,
Just up the nutrient's now and concentrate on getting the main stem thicker,I know its too late telling you this now but next time,make a air ring out of spaghetti tubing join with a t joint and put this in the bottom of the final pot,then a layer of either perlite,or clay balls,then the medium.
This will be then put to a fish tank pump,this will make a massive difference,Also check the under side of the leaves because i was sure i seen sign's of spider mites,don't over complicate thing's.Keep your first grow simple use a nutrient , like advanced or canna.
Keep the lights has close to the plant top's has possible with a fan blowing towards the plant,this will aid in the main stem be coming more sturdy,water then allow to dry and so on,looks like you could do with some perlite or something to airate the soil next time or if you re pot,
Don't let people think its complicated because its far from it,keep things simple and you will do ok,try and keep your temps has low has possible,but plants can deal with heat,so don't panic if the temps are a tad high,it will get used to it,
Good luck hope all goes well it aint rocket science its a plant,

No your not right. Low humidity doesnt cause leaves to curl under. And i can read the thermometer in the cab, its fine. I already told you, its the lights. And im sure someone else mentioned the drainage in the soil. Just listen to what were saying and youll be fine.
Here, ill repost what sworth said so you can read it again. Fix your lights and fix your dirt.

this post says it all.More light. More light. More light.
Repot her in some soil with some perlite or similar for drainage. Looks like you have poor drainage.
Water less.
All things considered; it's not doing too badly

YOU ARE NOT AN EXPERIENCED GROWER! lets get that straight right now.
I've always said the worst kind of liars are the ones that lie to themselves...
and the biggest idiots are the ones that believe their own lies...
You my friend, are both.

You're absolutely right I am NOT an experienced grower I am just a heavily researched grower not to much hands-on experience seeing this is currently only my 6th grow. Btw I was calling the dude I was referring to an experienced grower not myself.
