How many of what wattage bulbs do you use? How many plants under said lights? I have one growing under 3 42w and 3 60w CFL's. Mine looks similar to yours. Did you top and all that? I didn't top I accidentally allowed my seedling to grow into a light and it burnt and basically topped itself like that. Any way the shot of your lower buds mae me think that your plant looks like mine. I hope i get the same results. I am well on my way.
