Alright, so i just started growing, and i have some chronic strains from a mate who's been growing for about 20 years. I have tons of advice, but i still have a few questions.

1. My plant is about 1 month old, and 9 inches tall. Should it be taller? his plants seemed to grow fairly quick. Also, should i start supporting it w/ bamboo sticks?

2. I use Teklight flourescents atm. A friend who recommended them never mentioned using HID lights. are they 100% necessary?
 
If you have a fan on your plant and your light at the proper level you shouldn't need to support a plant. Maybe at the end of flowering if your buds weigh too much.
 
I do have a fan on my plant, and the light right now is about 6 inches from the plant.

how close should i keep it?
 
You should put those lights real close, since you are using flourescents it shouldn't be too hot.

If you are able to put your hand under the lights and not feel any discomfort, it should be okay for the plants too.

When you say have a fan on your plant, how much fan power are we talking here?
