much better setup?

i put it in the closet now and theres a fan on it. Does this look better?

how old is it?

Looks like a good ole ghetto grow, nice man. The fan will really help the stem fatten up nice. Here's a couple things ur gonna need in case u don't already got em. 1. thermometer 2. ph test kit with ph up and down 3. as it gets bigger, u'll need more lights

Hey is this a little better because now both lights are @ it but its about a inch more away but now the other light is much closer
And what is the ph test kid used for? and where can ifind it? thanks.

There's a couple different kinds of ph kits. One is for testing soil, it's cheap at any nursery like $5. It comes with little capsules and it'll get u a good idea of what the ph of the soil is. The other kit, is like $15 from general hydroponics, and i got mine at the local hydro store. It is for checkin the ph of the water/food ur using and it comes with ph up and ph down. For soil growing, u want the ph between 6 and 7 for both the soil, and for the nutes/water.

thanks man ill look into that. but hey do u think the newer setup where the lights hang is better?

It looks alright. Still think ur gona want more lights, otherwise, ur plants will keep growing long and lanky with few leaves. They got these clip-on lights and light socket splitters at home depot for cheap. I use 4 lights per plant for vegging, just clip the light with the splitter right on the pot, and they're adjustable so u can move the lights up, down, wherever, till i bust out the hps and they work great

discredit everyone that has posted before me, because if they knew what they were talking about they would have pointed out that you have the wrong color cfls..which is the reason your plants are stretching.
dude you need to get the 6k color daylight cfl bulbs..this is for vegetation. .they give out a white color. when you do get these bulbs...you will see a dramatic difference. get the 4 pack it only cost 12 dollars at menards.

Wow, I must've been ripped not to notice those soft whites in there.... He's right though, gotta change those out for sure.

iv noticed a mix of daylight and cool whites work nicely (i use for my veg. stage atm), also, you should have the lights aimed directly @ the plant, in all seriousness tho, u really only cheat urself when you do ghetto grows, its not worth all the time, i found out the hard way :S
