First Grow Ever (Indoor CLF Closet Grow)

Alright to get started i germinated 2 Caramel Candy Kush seeds from sannies shop. Both germinated but only one sprouted after planting. I have had a few problems and will be picking up some more supplies tomorrow.

Today is day 6 after they sprouted.

This is my soil:



I currently have 3 of these lights:



And 1 of these:



I have space for 10 lights inside the dresser i am using and will be picking up more lights tomorrow.

This is the pant itself:



It stretched really bad the first day as i wasn't home and didn't know it sprouted, i will be replanting tomorrow.

Any tips or advice will be appreciated.

poor thing. you shouldnt need to have sticks holding your plant up.. you need to put your lights almost on top of the plants nearly touching it. with a fan blowing directly on the plant to strengthen the stem as it grows. 13w of light isnt enough the 23 watters you get from walmart are better. ill get a pic for you in a minute at 1 week old took another look and it also looks like your watering too much. stay light on the water.

i cant seem to upload my pic.. ill keep trying though.
there we go. thats at 1 week old i moved the light off of it to get the pic. its like a half inch from touching the top of the plant. i got a fan/heater (can be both) but i use fan blowing directly over top of the plant so the heat doesnt burn it and it works fine.

keep those cfl as close as you can get them bro this will keep the stretch to a minimum

Thanks for the advice the reason it stretched so much is because i wasn't home to check on it and its in a closet so there was zero light for 24 hours. When i checked it the plant was already 6 inches. I asked for help in another post and they told me to replant it so im going to do that today. And those lights were a temp fix im getting more lights today.

And about watering, how can you tell im over atering? I water the plant every night.

yes, replant until your about a half inch from the bottom set of leaves. I use walmarts 2 23w CFL's they got there for veg and get a 150w hps for flower. i can tell your over watering because your soil looks really wet. ive been there and did that. i only water around the stem of the plant, stick my finger in up to my knuckle and if its dry i water if its moist i let go for another day. i only check mine once a day if you got a fan blowing directly on your CFL's your plants wont get heat burn from the CFL at least mine dont. if you want a pic of my setup ill take some as of today they are about i would say 2-3 weeks old (the little ones are) and the big ones are ones im using to test my nutes and stuff out on they are all bagseeds. this is all from my personal experience and what people have told me. i tried it and it seems to work. take my advice as you wish if you need more you can pm my if you would like.
