I'm in the mist of my first setup so I don't claim to be an expert but from what I've learned and read I would suggest at the very minimum that your lights are wayyy to far from the plant. If you are only using CFL's they should be within 4-6 inches from the little girl. She's definetly growing, but seems to be using all of her energy to grow upwards towards the light and has very little left to develop foliage. I'm right around a month myself and have been able to measure growth in height and foliage every couple of days. As a matter of fire safety, the size restrictions of my room don't allow for HPS, Metal Halide, etc. so I am only using 4 4' FLURO. 2 of them are T5 HO positioned on the sides. I have photos of the plant size just under 1 month as well as light positioning but can't seem to attach them to this response because of JPEG size restrictions (pics are 2848w pixel x 2134h pixel - site restictrions are 800 x 800). If anyone knows how I can shrink the photo's to fit or to add them as a thumbnail, please let me know! I hope this was of help and I'm sure the experts on here can give you much more advice. Hey, on the plus side at least she's growin'
