looks like your overwatering that plant ..the leaves are clawing..as for the lighting , you need to get a bigger light fast before its too late..the plants looks like its mostly stem and if you dont get a light fast your yield will pay for it..try investing in a 150 watt cfl or 250 hps...trust me you will not regret it

Bro they tell me if its cfls then make them very close if i dont it will stretch out and its not the N prob i just forgot to water it this morning it was loopy when i came home and saw it so i gave it water around 45 mins ago thats why it looks like this, but might i ask you how long do you think will it take until im done and do i remove the big white lights and more from the yellow lights?and yeah i am using two of the 6500k and 2 of the 2700k

im a noob myself so might wanna wait for someone else to chime in ..... this is my 3rd cfl grow ... im running 2x250w 1x100w and 4x75w i keep my smaller cfls around 3-5 inches away i keep my bigger ones about 6-8 inches away here is my room now how ever ur farther in to flower then me i just switched to 12 12 on sunday ... i only run 2700k in flowering i run 6500k in veg.... i dont mix my lights.... if u put ur hand between the light and plant and its too hot for u its too hot for it.... also do u have any air blowing thru there?20150915_104920.jpg20150915_105032.jpg not sure why the lighting looks different in the 2 pics must be the flash but they are all 2700k lights

these are the 250w 8u cfl lights i use this one is a 6500k but the 2700k look the same just different spectrum
Bro your plants look very healthy and looks like a great yield is waiting for you, but for me i think im going to get an ounce or less this is my first grow ever i didnt even expect to reach this far, looks like a fail though

my first 2 failed stick with it u will only learn thru error, i was 4 weeks in flower only to realize i had a herm that self pollenated.... atleast u wound up with bud let it keep going , give only water for a few days till that claw str8ns up and adjust ur lights to about 4 inches and try to get a few more 2700k lights.... although for one plant u might be alright be happy ur getting sum weed to smoke ur first grow anythings better then nothing id call that a win... id say u have about have around 5-6 weeks left left and that is where u pack on the most weight.... imo ur buds arent small considering the plant they are growing on

Dude u need hps thats just creating a bunch of heat! 150w light is about 60$ and dosent need to be air cooled. Or get led a bit more expensive but better than what u got. And more efficient because them lights aint cutting it.
Bro i just got 4 led warm white bulbs 3000k equal 800lumens and its watts is that enough?

take those back. those are 10 watt led's not made for plants and will not even give you the results CFL's will.

You need at least 100 watts of true power 2700k bulbs. I would suggest at least 175 watts for that size plant.

take those back. You need to get at least 100 true watts (those are only 10 so you would need 10 pf those) and make sure they are 2700k spiral lights.
I cant find anything man, he said these are equivelant to 80watts each i thought of mh but he told me that they are way too hott, and i have only 1 plant ill use the 4 leds and 2 40 watts each cfls of warm white is that good enough the cfls are 2700k

it doesn't matter their equivalence, what matters is the true watts. you'd be much better off with 4 of the 40watt cfls, those led's aren't going to do anything.

Bro the lights the led's are giving out is much stronger than the cfls for some reason, hows that possible?

first off, are the 40 watt cfls 40 true watts or 40 watt equivalent? Look at the lumens on that led. it's only 800. a 40 watt cfl should put out around 2500-3500 lumens i believe. The color of the led may be different and therefore giving off "more" light. The cfls at 2700k are perfect for flowering.
