go to a local walmart or home depot or lowes and get a clamp light, shop light, etc. it's a lot easier to place than that big ass lamp. and start over, ASAP.

Yeah dude. Go to lowes and go to the light section. They have a 4 pack of 6500k CFL's for like $9 and clamp lights for $10 and Y splitters for like $3.. Its really cheap and simple. You need high watt CFL's. I started with the energy saving 12watt ones and it grew but was horrible. Get the 23watt cfl's that are equivalent to 100watt incandescent bulbs

yea bro that plant is healthier, get the lights closer to it and it will stop stretching. you dont want it to have a big gap in between sets of leaves. a stretched plant means stretched leafy buds.

If you destroy those lamps you can just get the cord out of the inside. Quite simple actually. It will be much much much easier to adjust the lights. And take the foil out. Paint it flat white.

put something under the pot to lift it up an inch or two. then it'll be good. and you can tell if its stretching if there more then a centameter or 2 between each node.

Hi id like to start out by introducing myself. My name is blake Im 16 my parents know im growing. Im growing inside a 3ft wide 2 1/2 foot tall box in my finished off basement

My plant is 1ft tall and i juststarted its flowering last night as ive only done one night so far of 12/12 i turn it on at 9AM and off at 9 PM

Soil - Outdoor soil mixed with potting soil i took the outside soil about a foot down.

Water - I used nutrients in my water 3/4ths the way through veg.

lighting - 2 75 watt normal bulbs

I did the yeast water suger thing like i read on a different post and i just started that last night

i also spray the leaves once every week just a bit.

umm idk what else to say except thank you for your time and i would greatly appreciate your advice.

Im in your situation only im a couple years older.

Lets get back on topic guys and help this poor kids plants out.

First thing i noticed when looking at your plant is that you need something to hold you plant up, you shoul only need to do that when buds produce.

Anyways get a fan to thicken up your stem or be pot it and cover it stem up with soil.
