Yeah. You are going to need a real grow light which costs real money. Do some research.

Look Sir, I asked for advice, not a crude comment. I'm a new grower who is open to All suggestions, and would love for some community support so you don't have half assed growers messing up the weed. It was a $50 bulb I bought 2 and I'm only growing 1 plant in a 2x3 space.

Take a further back picture of your whole plant. What advice where you hoping for? @JoeBlow5823 gave solid advice. Maybe crude by your standards but to the point just the same. I would advise you to get a better light as well. Is just growing a plant your end result? If so good job. If you want to sustain your means in between grows you need to up your light game.

Lighting choices are tough. Figure your end desired result and buy a light that fits your budget and goals.

Hehe .

If the guy asking about lights is still reading, look for a cheap 100 watt power draw led quantum board. You can get them pretty cheap, the ones I bought recently are "boomspect s1000" or something... Paid $60 a piece.

There are lots of similar brand, usually calling themselves "1000w" even though they are only 100 watts. One of those would be sufficient and nott expensive for a small space.

Another cheapie I know if it's the "aglex k2000". 180 watts for about $100.. haven't tried this one yet though as I think it arrives tomorrow
