1st time grower seeking advice

[mary:)j]

I'm a first time grower not ashamed by also it i have to 2 40W 46 inches long fluorescent tubes in a 2 sq feet area with 4 plants in 5 gallon pots
and occasionally i have a 90w cfl light good idea or should i make changes to it?
i included a pic of one of my plants he or she don't know yet is 5 weeks old today

 

[Lowkster]

Those plants look small for 5weeks bro. You may want to do some more research!

yeah man, that plant is crazy small and spindly. just as comparison, i have a about sixteen 11 day old plants and they each have three sets of nodes and are about 4 - 5" tall. get some more lights. try cfl's, you need more lumens and probably warmth. clf's are cheap and don't produce too much heat (no heat stress, but some warmth). get a fan to blow on that girl and help strengthen her stem. hope all goes well.

read all of the FAQ at the top of the main page. its super helpful.

looks like a sweet strain, keep me updated. Also do you have any online seed banks that mail to the US that are real and secritive? I get alot of diffent weed down where I am its all crip and norhtern lgihts and other variouse strains but the problem is getting a nice seeds, its ethier in bricks or home grown. I myself have beedn a little hastey as to buying online becuase I don't know what I can trust.
