yh but look how terrible they are way too stretched out id say start over because they are just bad (dont mean to sound nasty)

if your able to do it then do it but i think your best best is to start over and have the lights close maybe do 1 or 2 plants max

well i got two 13watt cfls- 13w cfl= 60 watt reg bulbs, plus a 90 watt i beleive plant bulb.
That's not enough. Find out what spectrum the plant bulb puts out, and how many lumens it's rated for. In all likelihood it's not doing anything.

The low wattage CFLs are not helping either.

If I were you I'd just start over. That plant is too stretched to be able to recover and be at all worthwhile. Get the highest wattage single CFL bulb you can, of the "cool" color spectrum. Keep it as close as you possibly can to the top of the plant once it has the first set of adult leaves-- even if you have to move it every day.

maybe invest in some decent growing supplies i.e. pots, soil, lights...you can buy a ballast with a plug already on it at hardware stores for under twenty....the main problem is the lighting situation in my opinion

I know it's harsh, but sometimes reality is like that. Go check out some of the grow journals, especially the CFL grows. Look at what a healthy plant looks like even at 2 weeks. IMHO, even if you get yours to survive a while longer by improving its conditions, it will not produce.

I know you want to feel the satisfaction of the DIYer. This plant will not give it to you.

It might seem that you have lost time by starting over. If you do start over right, in 2 weeks you will have a plant that is bigger and stronger than that one. Besides, how much more time will you lose by investing it in this one?

You need a much better setup. You say your broke but jsut got a job so youll want to do this as cheap as possible. The thing about growing is you can't cheap out and hope for best, you need to think out every detail and spend some scrilla, Don't cheap out on lights and soil and that stuff. Anyway heres what you need to do:

1---Buy a HIGHTIMES. Or some weed magazine, learn some shit.

2---Hit up google, type in rubbermaid grow box, learn some more shit. This is probably most effective, cheap grow setup I have read about.

3---Throw that stringbean out. You can use 2 13W CFL's for seedlings, That's it. After a week or two you will need to step it up to a good 3000 lumens. and youll have to reduce some lumens for light spillage, not every beam of light is hitting the plants.

Also, if you really dont want to throw it out, then your going to need better light, and if you can afford to get more light, you should be able to buy some good seeds from a seedbank or a good website. You can get better seeds than what youve got for 30 bucks. If you can afford lights, you should be able to afford better seeds.

Yea just need some light man. Get something to support that plant like a stick to tie it to. Anyways, just get some nice CFLS..and keep em close. If you can put your hand under it and it doesn't burn you, then it won't burn your plants. Lol peace
