Avoid leaving the plant at the windows,
once the sun goes down as the temperature swings to much
include 2 more bulbs and ensure are cool white at 6500k
and the other 2 warm white or 2700k, for balanced growth

im getting more lights and i just put it in the window at first just to see what would happen and i did it stretched but how can i make the plant stronger

it looks pretty good. itll get stronger as it gets bigger. if the stem is too long you can bury it a little more when you transplant.

I agree with Dutch. Once you transplant bury the stem a little deeper. Also I've used a silica supplement that strengthens the stems and plant overall. It also makes it more resistant to disease , pests and drought.Dyna gro has a good silica supplement.

Not sure about the master pack. Haven't used it personally. The advice I was given when I first started growing was "keep it simple". All the starter packs have too many nutrients for me. I prefer a simple 2 or 3 bottle nutrient line up like Fox farm or general hydroponics. But you have it so don't waste it. Tell us how it works for you.

my plant start to fold up a little bit is this normal or what could this be

DutchHaze · Dec 13, 2014

It's fine

THE KONASSURE · Dec 13, 2014

just make sure you don`t over water it

Soil should be damp and be allowed to dry out some before watering again

Dubbz415 · Dec 15, 2014

i know it was early but i transplanted to get the plant closer to the light

Dubbz415 · Dec 15, 2014

is this fine?

Shake the shit out of it. Don't break branches but shake it real good, when you stop the plant should look droopy and it will stand back up In several hours. You can also twist them with our thumb and fore finger. some people pinch the stems or bend them but I don't recommend it. You don't want to kink them off. You can also prune it real hard and let it grow back. Fans also help they get the branches moving thus strengthening.

They might be a little small for what I suggested but take a note for later anyway.
