get the light like 1"-2" from the plant. Otherwise you will stretch the plants. Watch those nutes so you dont burn em. Was there
any fert. or nutes in the soil you have???

Also add mores soil in the pot. Bury the stem to about an inch or two under the lowest leaves.

Thats enough watts for now. Your potting soil probably has nutes in it. So that being said most plants started in soil with nutes in it dont need anymore, that means the plants have food for usually rhe first 2-4 weeks. You will burn the plants if you feed them too much. Just go with water for a while until the plant starts to tell you that it has nute def. Then you no your nutes in the soil are used up....

Do you have fans blowing on it? It will strengthen the stem so you dont have to prop like that. A computer fan will do for now until it gets bigger. I use 3 26watt CFL. Walmart soil is good I have use MG and Scotts hyponex with perlite.

18/6 or 24 hours a day during veg. Only due 12/12 DURING FLOWER. Never during veg.

Move the fan further away from the plant. Does your heating pad run 24 hours, or does it shut off automatically every couple hours?
