but ill draw a diagram dat would HOPEFULL help u guys understand it ...

there is only still 2 leafs ( 4 in total , 2 from the seed ... those oval ones and 2 normal leafs about the same size )

hahahaha
yea that would be streching happened to me badly
on red hair skunk
i had made the seed germinate in soil
with no light
so when they sprout
they were searching light
and strech like 4-5 inch that was bad
lol

dude, chill out
#1 dont listen to streetsk8, hes a fuckin moron
#2 your plants are way, way too young for you to know anything about their strain, their traits, their preferences yet.
#3 if plants this young are shooting up fast, then thats a good thing
#4 what kind of lighting are you using, after the first week of vegetative growth (starts when the first real leaf emerges) you need some good lighting, plants stretch when the are seeking sunlight, the more light the bushier they get
#5 you might have a sativa plant, which grow tall no matter what you do
#6 CHILL its cool that your growing in the first place, you've got plenty of time left if it dosent work out

Its hard to say from your "picture" but I do like it. Just gat you light as close as 2" for flore. and youll be fine. Also make sure you have a fan to give them a light breeze that will help them get stronger.

doctord,

you should know that more lumens=more bud, hps over floros anyday, garanteed fatter buds, ask the pros

no kidding but he has a seedling and that wouldnt be a good use of the light

sorry i didnt reply for a whille

im useing a 13 watts cool white cfl ... ... which i SHOULD chaange to atleast a 27 watts

i have it about 1.5" away fro mthe bulb ... and i have a small mini fan .. not very strong .. but the plants does vibrate from the wind ... soo its good enough ...

... how much are are a 27watts cool white cfl bulbs ?... and how much are a warm 27watts cfl bulbs ?.. and from where should i buy them

your only using 1 light bulb?? You should use at least 4 per plant and try to get the 42 watt cfls.

4 light bulbs ?.. hmmm i understand it loves light ... but a plant ussally needs 1000 lumens a foot
am i wrong ?
mine is about 800- 1000 lumens .. cuz its 13 watts

i know i will upgrade to a 27 wats light bulb ... buti dont think i need FOUR of them ..
i have ONE plant any ways ...

Cool, im Glad i found this forum, i got One Plant too. Also for the guy at the top of the post, u should listen to tidalracepaddler esp on his first RULE LOL> jk.
Anyways, mine just sprouted. I got it outside and im going to bring it in as soon as i get a light. Now my question is should i just go to home depo and ask for a reg 13light bulb. i also heard about CFL's. I'm a bit confused and its not the mary jane, she seems to get this.

geezus ppl are on speed or what ?
lol

im usng 4 100 wat daylights for veg. too much? i think theres no such thing as too much as long as they arent burning the leaves right? my space is about 3x2 ft. and the cfls are 1600 lumens a piece.
