ok so last june 6 my plant was tripped out by "birds".

and now here's my plant

Photo-0225.jpg

cfls are 1inch 2inch 3inch away. (for light penetration).

LSTed my plant to a 90deg angle.
 
It looks like the birds topped it off above the second node.
That is a good thing as it appears it will have 4 main stalks.:mrgreen:
Did you recently re-pot it to a larger pot ?
If so, the roots are spreading instead of above ground growth. (Normal)
As soon as they root out they will explode upwards.
As long as you keep them healthy.
I would move the light up a tad and see if it stretches a bit more though.

thanks man, the pic looks like it has only four main colas, but the future cola in the upper part, beneath it, there's another 3 that's currently shooting and i am really having a hard time on how to manage my plant.

actually the bird tripped out the whole plant at around the 7th or 8th node, and more side branches are growing.

i haven't transplant my plant yet (but i'm planning to i just don't know when), but the other plant that was also tripped by the bird was transplanted and just started to grow shoots. but still small.

i'll try to raise my lights up a bit and see what happens in the following days.

do i need to transplant them immediately? (i am having a hard time deciding if i should transplant them, and also i haven't bought some good soil again).
 
Hey icebox looking heaps better!. One thing, you really don't want your plant tall! short is a good thing, especially with cfl's. Just keep it low and bushy, that's a good thing. rep+

thanks man, yeah i don't want them to be too tall, the bushiness is bugging me quite a bit, i am having a feeling that light won't penetrate the side branches that's beneath my those leaves.

must spread some reputation around before giving it to LetsGetCritical again.
 
I know what you mean all the lower shoots I just cut that shit off later on. They love the torture, well they probably don't, hehe. You can grow said cuttings (clones) so it's win/win. That might be really bad advise but i'm half asleep.
