Those are very small for a month old. What are you growing it in. and yes you do need more light. How close is the light?
 
im just growing it in a closed area. its actually in my spare bedroom. i have the 1 light about 2inches away. i am going to purchase more light today.
 
for a small space, you can get plenty of light with two 26w cfl's. 6500k. bet they will grow a ton more as soon as you add more light

lol unbelievably tiny! haha. i thought mine was small at one month.
Dont ever use just one 40w light on a grow.. comlete waste of time.
 
i know mh and hps are best i have a hps bulb but the ballast that i have seen are to expensive for me at the moment. thats why i am only trying 1 plant right now.

any cheap ballast ideas would be appreciated!! :)
 
go to econolight and get the 25 dollar 150 watt hps.. or like 6. that'll solve ur problem. and yes all you need is 25

can you hook up a link to those 150 watt hps? having trouble finding them.

Unfortunately the $20 and $25 HPS lights aren't in stock anymore. Call me paranoid but once people started buying tons of them the site took them away and put up a red "CONSULT US BEFORE BUYING" sign. Either we killed his entire stock or he doesn't take kindly to our kind... lol. (south park reference) I was just about to get one too. :wall:
 
so i have been reading around and i found out that purple stems growing are bad (read that i t means its low on nutes) can anyone varify this for me. and if you look at the last pic it shows the purple stem. is this bad??
