Stealth Grow Box- 2nd GROW!! (papaya)

i planted the seed about 21/2 weeks ago, my last grow was just some bagseeds.

(week 1)


(week 2)


|(week 3)before school, (today)}

im using 3 cfl lights (150W i believe) and im trying to lst the plant around the whole pot before i let it grow upward. last time the plant easily grew asbig as the grow box.
uploading pics whenever dramatic changes occur < lol

Getting there, would it be ok if i put it into flowering just to see if its female, and back to veg.?

Im guessing you could, ive never done it myself but i imagine it would just take a while to get it back to veg, and possibly stress the plant out a bit.

I've seen it done in journals before, but because you are so early in veg, it's going to take awhile to sex in flower I think.

im gonna upload the picture of what it look likes now, a light fell and burnt 2 branches. where they were burned and cut it off (will this be just like topping the plant in them spots?)

And i was also wondering why are the branches starting to get so lengthy with nodes like 5-6 inch. apart? my lights are only a few inches away. THANKS!

Looking pretty good so far. The stretching could be due to a number of reasons, what are your temps like and are the lights you're using 150 actual watts or equivalent? Looks pretty healthy so far though man, if you can cut down on that stretch you'll be in really good shape.
