heh thanks today i forced one of my family members to take me to home depot...

n at home depot i bought 8 light sockets, some wire, lamp rods, and some other good shit...
i got 2 friends where i study, and during engineering lab they will always put me down since i was drawing up some SWEET lamp reflectors saying i'm going too big at first so i'ma just keep the plans and just situate my lights around my lil plant lol



i still need a pot thoughhh ughhhhhh

I havn't read through the whole post yet, but if you havn't already. I would trim the broken part of the plant off. This will cause the lower extremities to start growing again.

With the main stalk broken like your saying, the plant is putting all it's energy into trying to push nutrients to the top of the stalk. This is doing your plant more harm than good IMO.

Ok, I just looked at all the pics, and read all the posts.

It looks like every one has given you good advise.

1. need fan
2. more lights
3. no nutes


Keep it up, hopefully your little plant will pull though :mrgreen:

Lookin alot better than before. But remember the number one rule of growing cannabis. Tell no one! Your mom should be the only one that knows and that is because it is her house. Anyone else should not know about it. That is the number one reason people get caught. Good luck with the grow.

ok it took almost 3 weeks for my seed to even sprout so that is making my plant around 2 1/2 weeks still. i covered the first 2 leaves when i transplanted it to the other bucket because of the height. it seems to want to grow now under a 100 watt regular lightbulb{which puts off enough heat to burn my hand if i hold it 3 inches from the bulb}.here are some pics i just took.

you should really invest into CFL's they don't cost much money buy some 6500K daylight ones and you'll be set.

dude, your plant is a baby by the looks of it.

lower the light so it doesn't reach as much, and a bit more light and it will be good in no time.

give the plant a week or 2 more, to she how she's doing.
maybe increase the water and the amount of light she's getting.

roots stretch in absence of water in order to obtain it not over abundance... water if the soil doesn't feel moist at all other than that let it be.
