First grow of my life. How am I doing?

Hi everyone just wanted to see how my grow is looking to some people with a little more experience than me. I have one plant...and about 90watts of CFL. I keep the the lights as close as I can get them to my plant for 18 hours on and 6 off. It broke through the soil on Oct 5th so my plant is 2 weeks and 3 days old. Is this how it should be looking for a normal 2 and a half week old plant? Any input greatly appreciated! :leaf:




The first two pictures were taken yesterday(Oct. 21) and the third one was today.

Do you think i could make it through flowering with my 90 watts of CFLs plus a 20 watt flouro tube? That's literally all I can have...i've read some places that 100 watts per plant should be good...but i'm not sure.

You will get SOMETHING with that amount of light, but it wont be great. I am suggesting adding as much light to them during flowering,

You're a natural. Your plant looks very good. I don't know enough about cfl's to comment. If you find your not getting enough light and no other options exist you could try taking advantage of any natural sunlight that might be available to you even if it is only in one room for a couple hours a day. Not possible for most people in most situations though and could also introduce unwanted pests from open windows, pets, etc.

Your plant looks great:lol:

I use 23W CFL's, 100 - 150W/vegging plant, at a ratio of 3, 6500K to 1, 2700K. I get great results.
