My advice would be invest in a good light first, no point in having all the other stuff if your plant hasnt the "energy" to grow. I started on a 200w Envirolight, moved up to a 400w HPS and now use a 600w HPS...I wish Id just bought the 600w first!
id agree lights most important....but dont get a hps unless ur ready to pay for it....u can easily get buy with less

The only thing that makes a HPS more expensive is the fact it costs more upfront, it is ALOT more efficient than floros and intense enough to give sick dense gooey buds. Floros will grow plants, HPS will grow excellent plants much faster.

Yea don't worry about it too much, if its still droopy for a week then its off to the plant problems section for you

kinda looks like a tiny dick pokin out hahaa. Well considering its still early in, it may be a sulfur deficiency, a P/K def gens doesn't happen until flower.

aww i hope its not kind of any deficiency really.. i hope in the next week or too when the tops get bigger the leafs will become healthy. i can always cut the tips off.

any other advice would help thanks again man!

Ya, man. On your next run wait another week or so, they need to be bigger and stronger. So they can handle the topping. Just as a tip, if they do die (knock on wood they survive), it will of been because you topped when they were to little.
Just some food for thought.
