First indoor Grow

I had 1 plant that i was going to grow outdoors but it just was not doing well, it was only 3.5" tall with 3 nodes - pretty short.

so i took that plant and put it in a big pot and was going to speed up the process so i put it under:

4 - 13 watt cfl
1 - 35 watt cfl


I wanted to get as much light as possible to the plant so i tried to avoid a dome around the light, that is only good for regular house lights but not for my grow purposes... a cfl has a spiral light pattern and would work more efficiently if all the spirals are illuminating the plant.

here is a picture when the plant was younger and smaller:








I made a fence out of a old book stand, but i find that that is not that good of an idea!




the plant is getting so big









i decided to put a fan on it:



It is looking really green and really healthy:











what do you guys think about topping it?
- i was thinking know because that probably will the my only bud, and i was thinking i want 1 big one than 2 small ones, and it would take probably 2 weeks to recover and start to split.

what do you guys think about trimming up the bottom nodes to make light for the other babies?
