clf's work great, true COB's are better, but you have to admit there are people who are trying to grow, but they don't have 3 to 4 hundred dollars laying around, they may have 30 to 40 bucks at the most, and with cfls that can get you a nice box of cfls and some cords an start growing so he can build up to the COB's, he already has the space, the closet, so use what you have and use what you can get..

i can only afford l.e.d and c.f.l how many more cfls would i need (prob goin to switch to l.e.d)

have to agree with you, your light should have been way lower and kept there, with cfl's you can keep it as close to the plant as possible without burning it, would have kept it short and stocky with good bud sites on it..

to give you and example, i use 8 26watt cfls, and for flowering i add another 4 14watt cfls to give you a heads up, if you wish add the led with it as well, the more light the better it will be. Go buy what you can afford, like for me, my setup think i've spend just under $150 with everything i've done...

its prolly top heavy, figure out a way to prop it up somehow, you have access to a couple of rods, or long sticks or something??? if you do, tie them somehow to the bottom of the bucket, and then with string, tie it to the rods up high to keep it straight..

Bro. You need to gradually introduce it to the sun. Start by putting it in the shade out of direct light for a week to harden it off.

The only time I don't harden off a plant before it gets full sun is when it's a seeding.

leave it in the shade like Gorilla said, for a week that will give you time to find some rods and stuff to prop it up, then after a few day, slowly introduce it to the full sun
