hey guys, i just wanted some feedback on my plant its 4 weeks old indica grape punch grown from clone from the club. it seems a bit lanky and stretchy and its 11 inches tall im planning on flowering it soon bud it seems that it wont even be able to hold the buds because the plant is so skinny. should i still be vegetating it until it gets a better stem support before i put my hps bulb in and start 12 on 12 off. right now im using 100 watt mh bulb and then switching to 70 watt hps. heres some pics...
lanky plant? stretching?

I've seen worse
Did you run out of soil when you planted her, because I'm looking at a pot half full, or is it half empty?
You really want more lumens in flower than in veg, but you're still going to get a lot of stretch.
I would FIMM it or top it and replant it, and then flower in a couple weeks. M Blaze has a good FIMM tutorial.
ok ya i realised that there wasnt enough soil i put more in actually earlier so now most of the stem is covered at the bottom of the plant up to where the first set of leaves is. why do you think i should re plant it? Also, i was going to supercrop her instead of topping her i heard thats what works best. and honestly im not sure what fimm is i tried looking it up on google but didnt find any results. Thanks for the reply.

FIM refers to the term "**** I missed" which is basically taking off about 80% of the very newest growth, and promoting sporadic branching
i dont want to take off the new growth 
. the only good part is the new growth the bottom leaves are burnt from when it got hot in my 3 ft wide 2 feet deep and 5 ft tall box. but i have a oscillating fan in there i just didnt get the fan in the picture. the box im growing in does get hot a little over 80 degrees sometimes because the light turns on at 7am and the poly is closed and i usually dont wake up and open the poly until around noon. it just seems to early to flower the plant even though its 4 weeks old it doesnt seem strong enough.

Needs some serious veg time, then it will fill out fat like.
