Hows my plant looking?

This is my first grow, it's been going for about 3 weeks. Hollands hope feminized seeds. I started it off in a cut out coke bottle, and transplanted to a 5 ft pot. Is this pot going to be big enough to finish the plant in?

Temperature underneath the light reads 84.2F. Which is about 2 inches away from the top of the plant. Is this too close? The top set of leaves are getting sort of yellowish. Is this from the light? or is it too much watering or what? Im using a 50w HPS bulb, just switched to it from my flourecent. Was this a mistake? (Bulb - LU50/MED|C50S68/M|50W HPS Bulb Medium Base Clear - ProLighting.com)

Also, if you look at the 3rd pic, one of the leaves out of the entire plant has 2 tiny holes. is this from bugs? i cant think of anything else that would cause those. sure hope pests arent eatin my shit!

looks like its mad stretched!! :-O but thats just my opinion. no offense.. and as for the 50w HPS thats not enough output for one plant. It only puts out 4,000 lumen's, and thats nowhere near the amount your plant needs. You should get a 400w instead, or a couple power bars filled with cfl's and hang them on the walls on the side of your plant. but it does still look nice and green ill give it that.
oh and back the temps down to around 80 under the lamp. 78 is optimal. got a fan in there?? and if you flower now your plant is going to be freakin monsterous... if it can withstand the weight!!!

good luck

Yea dude, that looks like its stretched, and scrony as shit, but other than that it looks decent

how can i make it stronger? should i put constant fan on it?

Yeah, a fan would make it nice and strong.

If that doesn't work, maybe injecting steroids into the stem would work =].

oh yeah, i also forgot to add that my light has some sort of motherboard or something attatched to it. idk what its for, any1 ever seen it before?

24/7 fan? and how much should the fan be moving the plant?

Never have seen anything like that before.

As for the fan thing, I'm not entirely sure but I'd run it 24/7 on low speed at first so your scrony plant doesn't blow away, then once it gets a little stronger run it on a little higher speed.

alright cool, thanks.

No problem, keep posting pics of your Holland babies
