i was thinking, maybe you need more light. u said u got a 200w cfl right? and your doing 4 plants. so maybe this could be the problem
i agree, although i don't see that causing problems besides stretching or weak branches. Though leaves that are consistently shaded will be significantly weaker. They kind of droop into a claw. But a 200W CFL isn't enough. Is it just 1 bulb? My 150W HPS can only grow 1 plant at a time and i know i get more light coverage than CFLi was thinking, maybe you need more light. u said u got a 200w cfl right? and your doing 4 plants. so maybe this could be the problem
it is. i had a 105W cfl, it was the highest they had without going into mogul sockets.have to join the consensus above, you'll need to at least pick up some more cfls. They don't have to be high end horticultural either. When I first started I was using global consumer products (made in China) 105w cfls. They were about 20 bucks a pop and came in 2700k and 5500k temps. If you were to add at least two of those for $40USD your plants would love you for it. That's also the highest wattage (at least in the US) that will fit in a standard edison socket. Good luck man, hope the blackjack makes a comeback
Not touched but it was like an inch away from the CFL its energy saving one, I cant feel much heat coming off it even when Im practically touching it but maybe it just got too close because it is the biggest =/did your bulb touch them? they look a lil heat stressed
