That light in the third picture looks like two feet away, I'd put it a lot closer (looks stretched in the 2nd pic)... I don't know how much one light is going to do for you.. but it looks like it's working so far.

i dont kno y its looks 2 foot but it does. its really only like 9-12 inches. i had a llittle stunted growth problem but it seems to be back on track now. im just worried about lighting because im living with parents and im worried its not getting enough light

flourescents dont get very hot. hold your hand under a spot you think is good, and if it is too hot to keep it there, move it a little more away. the plant will react similarly to your hand

that is really too small for any decent growth to occur. try to spring for a flourescent fixture (the excuse is you need a work light for homework, hobbies, etc) at least a flourescent bulb in an incandescent fixture beats the current setup. and it must be no further than 3" from the plant! this is why it must be flourescent. a regular bulb would cook a plant being that close. and a regular bulb doesn't have the proper light that plants need. I don't know the scientific details but flourescents are better for stealth (no heat buildup). but you do know when she grows she will be emitting a pot smell? you can' avoid it but you can cover it up. look elsewhere on this site for info on stealth growing (also called Gorilla gardening). hope this helps...

You need a fan on that plant.
If you don't have a timer leave the light on 24hour a day. you should never mess with the light cycle unless you changing over to fruit/flower.
I never fruit/flower a plant till its atleased a month old.

really they cost all of about $6-8 at Home Depot. buy a lamp timer (for turning your lights on/off while you are away, or too damn lazy lol) run an extension thru the closet, viola! A grow room! and in a month or two the sweet smell of growing herb! car fresheners work for small setups buy a 3-pack once a month (excuse is your feet/shoes reek) and it keeps your room smelling NOT like weed (stay away from Pina Coloda, be forewarned!) which is cool.
