looks nice man.
i'd put a little tiny fan on it to strengthen up the stem. you don't want that stem breaking and a little breeze will bulk it up. perfect set up, tho for the one plant.

id recommend for the other lights: hang em. screw in a few hooks in your closet either on the ceiling or the wall and just dangle the light from the hook (wrap the wire or tie a string to the hook). that way you'll be right above the plant and you can configure the lights however you want (maybe two on the sides and 2 above?)

good luck man keep us up to date

lol i think rictor,and thanks marc and heres an update for today everyone I have some bad news and I hope it can recover,i woke up and it was fully touching the ground bent over,the stem isnt broke so i used a pencil and ziptie to hold it up,giving it a day or 2 to see if it improves,if no improvement ill plant my baby outside to give a chance to grow,and check back at the end of summer but heres the pics:

DAy 7:
Had to tie my baby up!

Im giving it 24-48 hours to see if it lives!

you need to get a gentle breeze going, as someone suggested. fans emulate wind, which encourages strong stems.

i'd suggest 18/6 aswell, to get it's roots stronger.

i have no way to get a gentle breeze going the only fan i have is one of the huge ones and even on low it would rip my plant out of the soil,its powerful,and i have it on a 20-4 light schedule atm

yo go bears i just got this sick cfl from home depot. in the outdoor section they have cfl's that blow that shit out the water.i was using those lights u got and they stretched my plant out and it looked just like that. now i got a 65 watt cfl that puts out 6500 lumens. that shit grows like crazy every day. its a lil more bread but it takes money to make money

Get a small fan, it's a must. If you keep the stem tied to support it the plant will not develop the strength to support buds. Get something small and cheap at a drugstore. When you put air on the plant, leave it staked loosely as you have it until it gains strength. Eventually , remove the stake and put a stick up diagonally for the plant to blow against. As you rotate the plant, just remove the stick and place it down-wind of the plant. They respond quickly to some "wind"- they really like it!
