For the first 2 and a half weeks my plant was growing under this utter piece of shit reading light that barely put out 15 watts of light, which would explain why it stretched so much. The plant still grew nicely.
I got a new light, a better one. Its a 65 watt sylvania clip on gro-lite. The only problem I have with it is that it is incandescent, I could probably replace incan. with a 65 watt cfl but this bulb looks like its made specifically for growing plants. I have 2 questions,
Will any more nodes grow on the older leaves? Because right now all I have is 2 leaves per node.
Should my plant stretch every time it grows a new node? Is there any way to prevent this? Since I started growing I haven't used ANY nutes. I just started with the finest soil. My water is distilled from a tap and by distilled I mean the chlorine and stuff has been evaporated from it. The light is always 2 inches away from the top of the plant.
Should the first stems always start with 2 or 3 leaves? I always see the usual stems with 7 or 9 leaves attached.
It is 1 foot tall. The light doesn't get very hot, I put my hand a half inch away from it and it feels very warm but not the the point where it burns me.
The second picture makes the plant look pale because of the flash on my cellphone, its actually very green and healthy looking.
