hey, this is my baby in the making guys. i was just wondering if you could let me know how it's doing. this is like.......the second week or so it's been on this earth. it resides under two 15watt flourescent tubes. i'm just wondering if this looks healthy at all. i know that two of the leaves have nute burn, but that should be taken care of or so i hope. let me know! thanks guys!

what if i don't get new lights....cause i'm trying to do this on those two flourescents. should i tie them down so that more of the flo tube is being utilized, or should i just let them keep growing?

I don't know if tieing them down would help or not. I can tell though, that without sufficient light the plant will not mature correctly. If left to grow, it will continue growing spindly, and if u don't got proper air flow, may eventually just fall over. Flowering will also be affected drastically, basically very little yield in the end.

okay, so here's my concern. all that i want is to be able to at least get one session out of it. like even smoking the leaves, that's all the hope that i have for this plant. so if i get a fan on it, so that the stem toughens up, think that might help?

fan is a must. Same here, I am only looking to get some good nugget. a quarter would be a lot for what I am looking to do.

Only grew using a lot better lighting system and basically non existent worries about getting caught in any way. My first basic closet grow, Im not even going to try using nutes, don't want to get caught where I am now. I am going to go to a garbage can pretty soon I think.

A fan will def help. and u'll get enough to get plenty baked as well. Nothin like sittin back and burnin ur very own. Good luck

sup GUSTA, This is what I would do if in your shoes. Transplant into a 10inch or better pot, bury the little beastie up to its little coytle leaves, dont pack the dirt at the plant base, let your watering do that. Let it burn for 24/7 about 2 inches away, (your low wattage lights that is :) ). Let the little beastie grow right up into the lights and when you get some extra dollars, like about 12 of em, go to Walmart and in their pathetic electrical extention cord section, look for a box with outdoor flood light bases. About 3$. Where the CFL bulbs are try to find a 150watt CFL another 9$. Now when that little beastie starts to flower (and I do hope it is a SHE), you'll get 2 nuggets to smoke instead of just one. Luck with the gro bro.

okay well....i will get the fan, hopefully soon, and as for the lights and crap...i'm really going to see how far i can do it with these. would anyone suggest that i top them, so there is more room for the plant to expand and gain energy? any suggestions when i should do this also?

dude, 2-15 watt lights is NOT enough energy to produce ANY bud. You may get a few hairs on the very top of the plant but they wont bud hardly any at all. Topping them will only slow down their growth a lot. If you want that quarter gm, get more light on them.

what would you say the least i could use is? once it gets taller i'm going to add a third light to it. but i'm just trying to get it semi-tall because in a few months i'll move it out doors. so. i'm just trying to have a good healthy plant by that time. the plant will survive won't it? it's not like it will just die because it's not getting enough light....it will just stop growing, but be healthy...right? or will it actually die?
