I got a plant in flowering right now, its about a foot tall and has been in flowering for a week and a half. I got 2 four foot grow lux bulbs, 42 w cfl and a 60 w walmart plant light. My first question is its stems form like Y shape into two big stems, is this normal? Also the plant needs twice the water it did before and has been growing almost an inch a day. Im wondering how tall is it gonna be and how much I might get off of it.
Any help is apprieciated :)

Your flowering the plant in low light conditions and you can get some bud but your plant will probably keep on stretching for more light. Expect at least a 3' plant with some lighter fluffy buds. Try bending the plant over closer to the flouros, that helps keep it from shooting up. Since you just started flowering It wouldnt be a bad idea to get a 150 watt hps and finish the plants, you can get one at e-conolight.com for only $42. If not throw as many cfls as you can afford near it.. the light is going to be your biggest problem. Good Luck ;)

I dont think im gonna get the hps, I think im gonna go with a few more cfls how many should get? Oh and if its gonna get three feet tall I think i might need to get a bigger pot. The pot its in now is 6x6 inches, is that too small and how much bigger should i go?

First, throw the walmart plant light away(the only thing it's doing is adding more heat in your grow area, unless you need the warmth then take it out.). And get 4 more 42w cfls and put 2 on each side, leave the grolux bulbs and 1 42w cfl on the top, or slant the grolux bulbs so you're getting light to the whole plant. A 3+ gallon pot would be good.
