Hi im new to this site, but ive already gotten lots of good pointers on growing a healthy pot plant. But anyways im about 4 days since my plant has sprouted from the little glass i have in it. Im using only window light, and i do bring it out for a few hours(5-6) when i can and leave it in direct light, it basically just came out of the soil. But my main concern is the stalk of the plant. Like the brance part thats coming out of the dirt, How long does it take for that to thicken so that platn doesnt seem so frail and flimsy? Anyways any advice would be greatly appreciated. thanks :joint:

Depends man, its probably not getting enough light and that's why it's all flimsy. It will never get better if it doesn't get enough light.

Well i mean its not sagging like it cant stand its own weight at all, its just a little curved, i put a small toothpick beside it just for support. But i think its going to be fine, just i gotta definitly give it more light, its hard since im secretly growing around my parents and such. Anyways thanks, if you have any other advice let me know. lol im all ears...or eyes..HHAHAH peace :peace:

I'm afraid your plant may be doomed on only 5-6 hours of window light :( I believe 18 hrs is the min light a plant needs during veg. Try and find a way to get your lil one some light.

also, if it is in a glass that is see-through I believe that is bad. You don't want the roots to get any light. You should move it to different pot that won't let light through.

nice thanks guys, well i mean the lighting isn't exactly timed, its staggered since i'm hiding it too, it gets periods of darkness. Right now im using a regular light bulb, 60 watt at night time when my doors locked and closed directly above the plant. During day hours it sits in a window behind my dresser, so it cant be seen. for a few hours, then if my parents leave ill bring it to the back deck in direct sunlight. So i mean it needs more, so i gotta think of seomthing...i mean any ideas? and can a 60 watt light grow one plant if its real close to it? for cheap growing purposes? I think i might have to start guerrilla growing, which i am kind of already, but outside actually >< peace

dude they look pretty healthy, theyre a little tall (strectched) but as far as the co lor and texture they're really strong. they stand real tall, and as soon as it warms here in like 4 weeks, im hoping i can bring them outside..do u have any pointers?

Dude that plant will stretch and stretch till it gets correct lighting. It will die. A 60 watt regular bulb is not helping it at all. Get a couple of cfls set up in a closet and start over the right way. It does not take much to grow decent weed. Just Lights, Nutes, Water, and Air that is done correctly.

Here is my advice Wait untill you have your own place and are not risking your parents home. Get them outta there.... It's not cool to risk your parents home unless they are ok with you doing it in the first place. Focus on school, while you can.

Just My two Cents.

By all means experiment. That's good. Just don't expect any smoke off it. Maybe try a guerrilla grow if you can hide it in the garden or the woods somewhere if you want something out of it.
