my plants are starting to look a little lazy, the leaves are drooping down to the soil and the main stem is bending pretty hard (like it has a bad back and is lifting somethign heavy) i have a lot of light on it and cant figure out the problem, i thought it might be root bound so i went to the store and got a new plant bucket for them, i also started adding growing nutrients to the water. check it out im adding a pic at the bottom. if i need to go buy something that is no problem so just let me know what you guys think

i have 2 mini cfls 13 watt each, and on top i have one 23 watt cfl, i moved the top one a bit further from the plant, no i do not use a fan solely for the plant, i have a ceiling fan that i leave just below high and i leave the cabinet open, it keeps the plants leaves kind of swaying

shes just leaning toward the light like meangreen said. again why side lighting should only be an addition not the main light source.
