is my cannabiss plant healthy its 4 weeks old 2 day and really small on a 65 w cfl ..

thes are a cheese mix strain with white ice or ice not sure will thy auto flower or not i have little pistols in the 4th week fat stems but really small my cfl is 65w 2 inch abover them thanks
 
Container is far too large. The roots have to make contact with the side or bottom before it begins growing vertically. Do not overwater - the #1 killer of plants cared for by man. No nutrients at all if they are autos and I speak from sorry experience. Screw autos - except for Dinafem White Widow Auto.
 
I planted 20 autos - a mix of Vertigo and White Widow Autos. 15 went into 3 gallon containers, 5 had to go into 4" planters due to lack of enough big one. The ones in the 4" blew past the others. All 5! Put them in larger (8" planters) and finally into 3 gallon. All 5 that were moved gradually far outproduced the other 15 almost to a plant.

The smaller the planter at first, the faster the vertical growth. Thanks, Big Steve.
 
thanks mate i dont no if thy are auto flower i pulled them out of a mix bud cheese n ice mix ,, i have fed them ionic grow from seed i will wait a couple of weeks for roots to grow see wot the crack is then and pull my lights up a bit
 
Lay off the nutrients. The young plants lockout very quickly. Water only until they show an actual need for nutrients. Leave the lights as close as you can keep them. Raising the light will cause them to stretch. Not the type growth you want.
 
i have just repot ed them in too a 7.5 liter pot with bio light mix soil thy are growing after a week healthier then before but thanks on the root update i shall wait see wot happens wen roots grow i dont fancy changing them in to any other pots want this to be my last dectrnation pot
 
YCP's young ones were stretched all to hell. Hence my advice - keep the light close. Other experienced growers with good yields will concur.

Then just wait. Keep the light close. The leaves are green, vegetation density good. The roots are doing the growing you can't see. It will start up again. If no overwater or nute kills.

Yeah, that's true, they stretched toward the beginning but they look fine now, I keep lights at anywhere from 2" away, to up to 6" away right now. Smaller ones get closer light. Only because of the ventilation issue, that's why I suggested moving the light a bit higher so the air around the plant wouldn't be bothered.

Look on Google Images or Leafly. Review the strain on Leafly and look for the picture link. A short bushy plant mature at 24" will generally out yield a taller plant of the same strain if the taller one got that way by stretching at ANY point during its maturation. I speak from multiple experiences. Leaf node spacing is key. I have a White Label White Skunk in a 5-gallon DWC. Planted seed in wool 28 November. PPM is 245 today, it's bushy as all hell and the main stem is almost as thick as a pencil. It has its 4th node, been topped once and is about 10" due to topping. I topped it (it's regular seed and on 18/6 so it's a guess still) because it was growing vertically too fast - all lit with a cheap bowl reflector and a 23-watt 6500 spiral CFL. One bulb. And I use it regularly until about the 4th or 5th week when I swap it for a 55-watt 2700K spiral in the same cheap ass reflector. By the time they go under a 1000 watt HPS they are at 2" minimum and usually around 30" depending on the strain. Then the inevitable stretch that HPS causes is not spindly sparse crap.
