Anyways ill be here everyday updating my grow sometimes 2 times a day,and would love any suggestions or comments.Im growing right now with a single CFL light bulb went out to the store today to buy that and wires and a socket to build my own light,i started with one shitty 13 watt cfl 4 to 5 feet above my plant so i messed up at first it stretched about 5 inches,but now i moved the plant and set up my new setup gonna try to buy one more socket and 2 splitters to run 4 lights on my baby,hopefully its a girl got it in veg right now on a 20-4 cycle,and comments or suggestions would be helpful

The light needs to be a little closer, about an inch or 2... get more CFLs when it grows and keep them 1-2 inches away from the leaves, surround it...

Don't let it veg too long because your lack of lighting... you should LST. Then get more lights and flower it when ever you're ready...:)

Good idea... it's just like having a 5 foot plant but its bent... pretty much. For more bud sites, which is a higher yield of course! :)

ye,ill do that next time,im gonna top mine to when needed cause the space i have is only like 2 feet,or i could move it down to where it used to be and move the lights but that would be harder,im gonna see how it grows but my ? is why would i have little sprouts coming out of my soil looks like little tiny weeds?and moss growing on the top of it?
