To Top or not to Top....

Is there anything in the water that you foliar with? Do you have a fan blowing on the plant to increase its stalk strength? Small/young plants sometimes act weird as teens. What Lighting do you use? What does your feeding schedule look like? What is the RH of your grow space?

Yh im using a fan on it to increase the stalk strength and so far i haven't put anything in the water when foliar feeding. Im feeding it with guano tea and add it to the normal watering schedule once every 2 - 3 days in a weak solution ( 2 tblespn per gallon of water). As for lighting, im using a very basic light at the moment but ive only had her for a week. Before this my mate had it in a room with other plants with a 600 watt hps.....and I think the light was too high cause it looks stretched. I am looking to get a 250 watt hps in the next 24 hours.... Ive been offered a 600 watt but i think thats to much for one plant and i have no ventilation minus opening the door of the wardrobe and a window of the room its in and letting the air circulate lol. To be honest its a very basic set up in a wardrobe with foil lining the inside. And your gonna have to expand on RH dude i dont know what it stands for :/

i would pull the poor plant up.. if you cant get the minimum things for a proper grow then you prolly shouldnt grow at all. just sayin.

wow that hurt

All good bro, we'll get you to where you want to be with this grow.

-The lamp was definitely too high then IMO. I have a 600w HPS running as we speak and I could definitely see how she;d get leggy from that.
-I'd see if you can get a 250w HPS/MH interchangeable, that way you can switch the bulbs, which will add some life to your bulbs and also use the Metal Halide for Veg, then switch to HPS for bloom.
-The heat for anything higher than 250w will be a big issue for you if you choose to go with 400w or higher
-Take the foil down in the wardrobe, I know it was probably a pain to put up, but it offers very little reflection and has a nasty habit of holding pockets of heat/cold. You can get a few long rolls of Mylar, which is MUCH more reflective and better with heat, cold, spills, humidity etc.
-RH is relative Humidity, you can get a cheap thermometer with a humidity tester for less than $10.

Lemme know if this helps,

Definately helpful man thank you. Im gonna get everything sorted tomorrow for it. It all happened a bit quickly so i had little time to prepare a set up. I guess the final question is whether i should top it or not?

and also i cant get any Mylar until tomorrow. Is it worth leaving the foil up over night or shall i take it down?
