i think you may need to reposition your lights. that lil guy is stretched out. is there proper drainage in your pot?
@NoDrama looks like he has a 23w cfl and idk the wattson the other but i think its a LED bulb

do you have hiles in the bottom of your cup/pot? and for the cfl you might want to lay it horizontal opposed to vert and have it above the lil guy

Click to expand...

LED lights made for house lighting don't contribute to plant growth.
Also you use the ACTUAL power used, not the wattage equivalent of the bulb.
So that 120 watt CFL bulb is really just 23 watts. You need a bare minimum of 150 watts, so you need to add about 6 more of those CFL bulbs to get the MINIMUM amount of light.

You need to up your game.

For flowering, those CFL bulbs aren't going to cut it and you will end up with months of time and energy spent for a gram of shitty ass bud.

yeah its fine for now. id be addin more cfl as i could. no rush take your time to understand the plant. i would work on this one whike makin a more advanced set up. but when the plant makes roots more leaves will pop out.
