you need a lot more light...in 3 weeks i have a plant that is almost a foot high...and in 8 weeks you have that...I use a 400w MH...the power consumption is not like people say if you are in the US at least I guess...but I don't know what you were hoping to get, but the lights you have won't get you enough for it to be worth running any lights at all...when someone grows a plant in a window sill it doesn't matter how thin and stretchy it might be...because hell you aren't specifically paying for that light, so what if it isn't the best in the world right...but I think you could get better results near a window then with those 2 tiny bulbs...

leave it in 12/12 if your already a week into it, it'll be more detrimental and time consuming if you go back now. its not a bad first time, next time I would definitely put in a larger pot much sooner it should double even triple the size it is now in 8 weeks. Good luck Sir if shes a girl then you can prolly squeeze an eighth outta her

Transplanted into a smaller but larger container when i switched to 12/12. I got advice after learning it was healthy to tranplant into bigger pot with perlite and veg for 2 weeks to promote growth.

he may need to repot some time in the next 4 weeks. That clay pot is no match for a 3gal pot and you'll be in 12/12 for about 8 weeks.

Well if that is the plant at 8 weeks I would say you could veg as long as you want...

HE ALREADY FLIPPED IT. The veg stage is complete. Mostly.

400w is about $40/month on a 12/12 schedule.

i have a 43 watt overhead light as well. I just got my lighting right. I put it in a larger pot when i switched to flowering but smaller than what you see in pictures as i just put it there last night. I had huge lighting issues in the beginning. Started this under a very small 2 watt led light. Then went to a flouro 15 watt at 20000k then to a 10000k and then put the cfls. Once i put cfls, she took off and started to grow faster than she was. Im gonna flower this little princess.
