Your light is too far away and you should have topped or trained it. But that would have been info you'd need BEFORE planting...

chop all that middle stem down to where the nodes are closer, give it more LIGHT for 7-8days, remove than tinfoil immediately and flower it after 7-8 days. if you have no proper lighting you could just ditch it

Your plant is stretching but does not look that bad for the effort invested. You have done some things right to get it this far, let's hope it's a female

There is so much to criticize about your amateur grow, just not sure where to start. The tin foil shines like a brilliant beacon of stupidity, the pots used are rather comical with a pot inside a that huge bin, did you use a front end loader to fill it up? Not to mention the soil has zero perlite, black gummy soil, how delightful. If it's a female, you may be lucky enough to harvest 2 or 3 grams.

this. get a box of 23w CFLs and stick them all around the plant, top, sides, everywhere. all within 2 or 3 inches of the plant.

yes sir, ok so take the foil down, Ive been reading up on it and and they say that it still might do well. I dont know how to seperate them at this point without risking them dying. I mean im jus a guy growing some great dank to smoke by myself and it was my first grow so Ive learned on the way. the pots have nothing to do with anything actually, were just here. and the soil is the best soil, organic and I add nutrients to it about every week followed by a flush. I use a mixture between HID and Leds and im thinking about getting a HPS bulb. and it has over 20 nodes on it so 2 -3 grams i highly doubt

The first thing I would do would be to find a decent sized pot perhaps 10" or more across and repot. I may also remove some of the very bottom growth and plant it with about 2" of stem above the soil. I would then top the plant taking the very top and the 2 nodes underneath and making the cut about 1/2" above the remaining node. I don't know what wattage your HID is but place your hand palm down under the light and adjust it so the back of your hand is warm but comfortable and keep the lights at that level adjusting as necessary. Hope this helps, Larry

This is a pic of one of my newer seed plants at about 3 1/2 weeks under 1000W HID. You are looking for compact growth and that is the reasoning behind the seemingly radical topping. :weed:
