Plant growing very slow.

Hey guys, I am running cfl's as I'm sure you all know this lol.
I have a blue veg light under my main plant and a flowering light under my other plant.

The plant under the flowering light seems to grow quicker. I thought it would be the other way around.
Do you guys think I should switch from the blue veg light over to the flowering light?

Did you just flip them?
The first week you're in flower, the plant stretches (sometimes double) in size.
Also, some people experience less stretch, closer internodal spacing with a bluer spectrum.
Although it may be growing quicker, does it have a lot more nodes?

I forgot to say it's an autoflower, It's only a couple weeks old so it's pretty small yet.
The plant has just 1 small node starting to come up but the one under the flower light is triple the size of the one under the blue light.

Couple weeks old? One small node? Something is definitely wrong... pics?

I am far from an expert but usually it needs:
1. More nutes but don't burn it.
2. More lights
3. Something like Recharge if you have root lock.

What specific kind of light is it under?

Hey Eddie remember for the first 3 weeks or so you won't see much. Most of the action is going on under the soil. After like 3 weeks you'll see a splurge, especially with autos.

Thanks a lot, that actually makes me feel a lot better because this autoflower says it will take 8 weeks to harvest so I don't want to have to wait a couple months.

Hey man, thanks for your insight.
It's not nutes that are the problem
I think it's the light. I use cfl's but they are the big cfl's that are pretty expensive.
I'm looking into getting a led. Thanks man

CFLS are very useful in veg when done right. Keep them as close as possible, mine all but touch my plants seeing as they give off little to no heat. I would look into something else, still sounds like something is stunting it. Once again... pics?
