Here is my plant that ive included with pics. It has been growing for about 1 week and 3 days into the second week. I had a slight problem thursday night when I noticed the plant was tipping due to it not being close enough to the light. So I took care of that problem and the plant seems to be doing fine, I'm using a CFL and I have at least 3 of them and im not sure if I even need all three right now, One is a large CFL and the other two are a lot smaller. I'm guessing I will need to use all of them and maybe more once the plant gets bigger but id like to know what you guys think. The first two pics are from last week early friday and the third is from this morning. Sorry if the first two are a little blurry, didn't have enough room to take the pic but the 3rd photo is a lot better.

looks good, just make sure you're using 6500k cfl's (daylight) and have a osilating fan in there blowing around your plant so it makes the stem strong. Keep the cfls at around 2 inches away, it's a pain in the ass with cfl's cause you constantly got to keep moving them as the plant grows. What type of soil are you using? And just water when the pot is light and the first 2-3 inches of soil is dry. Add more cfl's as you need them and switch to 2700k for flowering with 2x as many cfls as you used for veg.

well im not really sure what type of potting soil it is, I didnt buy it im using it from another plant that I took out which might be a bad idea, but the other plant that was in there did pretty well so im guessing this soil will be fine. I'm sure it has lots of nutrients in the soil but if theres any problems I'm going to have to get another type of soil if the plant starts to shows sings of going bad. Ive got a fan blowing and I'll have to check the cfls to see how much they are, thanks for the advice!
