It's simply the wrong light spectrum. Where are you growing your plants? I highly recommend fluorescent tube lighting for the veg stage; they really are quite cheap and run low electricity; cost me less than $9 for the ballast at lowe's and less than $5 for the bulbs at lowes. If you have the money to spend, get a metal halide bulb for vegging, and a high pressure sodium for flowering.

dont bother with floods,they will burn and your plants wont survive very long.just leave them in the garage lamp socket.cfls are the way to go for low budget growing.and they make danky dank buds that ooze and ooze with sticky goo.
