So, I just quickly put this set up together. It entails, four 100w replacement CFL bulbs that say they are 26w. They're pretty bright, and from what I think, a decent distance away. There are no grow nutrients in the soil, and the plant is only abouit 4 inches tall. The main stem feels a bit weak, but i'm not 110% sure on what to do with that. Attached is one pic. Suggestion, comment? Thanks a bunch, any tips are highly appreciated.
How-my doing?

Okay bro, you need to do some reading. There is great CFL guides on here. But here are a few tips. Get that baby into a bigger pot. Second keep your lights about 2 inchs away or so. Get a fan blowing on the plant to strenghten the stem up. And make sure your pot has drainage holes to prevent rot. Also what kinda lights u got there? i see cfls and u said 26 watt. But whats the K? U need 6500K(daylight) balbs for veg and 2700K(soft white) for flowering.

good one..lol...
Here is the new set-up. Thought I might stay posted. The lights used are four CFL, 7250 lumens each. Lamps are placed about 2 inches away from plant. The plant looks to be really healthy and has a nice green to it. Although I do have some questions on why the first two side main leaves are kind of droopy. Also, in the soil when I was studying the plant I saw this little white mite. I'm not sure what it could be, or if it could be harmful. The soil I'm currently using is a gardening soil, and I believe is - 0.08-0.05-0.05. Its a standard gardening soil. And if you can see I have a small fan circulating the air inside the box.
These are a couple day old pictures. There are now new fresh healthy leaves growing from the main stem. I will keep in touch with newer pictures every so often.
Again, any tips, suggestions are highly appriciated.
