It looks pretty stretchy to me. Did you top it? My guess is you didn't or it would be more of a bush.

...ok..every time you grow you need to set your room up and so you should have gotten in your empty flower room and checked for leaks, you should have timers also i hope...looks like you may have some leaks because that should be doing something by now, i THINK this can be caused by high n but not sure on that..also if your going to grow again learn to lst and keep your lights very close to get a nice canopy, get an hid for flowering because its hard to pull off anything worth while without one. grow in organic soil with organic nutes, no miracle grow no schultz 20 20 20!! tap water needs to sit out a day or two before using.. those are my tips off the top of my head because i could write a whole page of instruction...

always double check your timers as well on the first week or so of flower if possible, you may find your light was turning off late or turning on early..or only turning on and off certain days!

Hey Rookie83
you got some good advice from some real pros here. I have been growing for a year now and have learned everything from this forum. My only advice is to don't give up. It is possible to get a decent harvest from cfls but it takes some practice and yes hid lights are much better if you can afford them. I would also look into vegging in one room and flowering in another. Light leak can really mess up your grow. Here is a pic of one of a few buds I harvested recently. Hope it gives you an idea of what you can do with some experience behind you.
Hang in there dude and you'll get the hang of it. I know I still have a lot to learn but with each harvest I learn and enjoy the results. Happy growing man.

Man it is really hard to see you setup with the pics you added. But based on what I can see it looks to me like you have grown huge plants and all under only a few cfl's. Basicly in my opinion you have grown them too big for the lights you have. Wack a 400 hps in there and they will do much better. I am also growing cfl only and my plant is too big in my opinion and I would say it is less than half your plant size. Good luck man. Don't lose heart, you will learn and get better. Just don't give up.

wow...you harvested those WAYYYYY too early......
Next time let those buds MATURE, you really fucked yourself out of some good fat nugs. Those thing had atleast another 3-4 weeks to go.
Rookie83, don't chop your buds when they look like this PLEASE! Hate to see all your hard work for naught

i was gunna say that about BUDzrus' buds as well those things look like they didnt even hit the swell stage yet and all those pistols are still stringy and white... dang bro id cry to have wasted my time. The thing that people dont get is while the plant is growing the High you get form the Cannabinoids changes so if you dont wait you might not even get high... or you wont get your nice tasty buds hard packed buds like you could have... im talking swelled 2 times the size if you waited 2 more weeks

Dude, you screwed yourself. Bud's were not near ready. Would have gotten a lot bigger.
