Good but get those lights closer to stop it from strecthing and they will grow more side branches , but u gonna have to pay attention so it doesnt hit the light. Good luck.

that is a 200w equivalent bulb. a 200w would be alot bigger. that thing has about 46w. you want to look at the actual watts. she is really stretched. the nodes should be around 1/2 in apart. if you got one more 46w and used the 2 23w bulb you have you should be good to start a new one that will not stretch as much. you need 6500k for vegging and 2700k for flowering. you can find bulb outlets that plug into the wall. you can plug those into a power strip and screw the bulbs in so the bulbs are at one level. having the light about 6-8 inches away from the bulbs. and the bulbs laying horizontally. you might want to put some type of reflector above the lights. if you get a good set-up of lights you will be golden. it shouldnt cost you more than 40 dollars. for a power strip the bulb plugs and one more bulb.

Yeah it definitely is, Throw that shit away man!
And did you just now get the cfl? So it's so small and streched because it was under an incadescent. Throw it away and put the cfl as close as you can to the plant that you can still put your hand in the same place and it feels not too hot.
Just to make it clear
View attachment 2258064Don't use these.
cfl.jpgUSE THESE. LOTS OF EM. HORIZONTALLY.
Follow that and you'll see how quickly it will transform to a nice plant.
Oh and Strangerdanger, there are cfls that look like incadescents, but you can still see the white little ballast that these don't have because they're incadescents. :)

Did you use only regulars at beginning? if yes, then that was your problem. Remove them, get more cfls, good luck.

i would switch them all the cfl's and possibe start a new seed. if you want to continue with this plant the buds will be spread far apart and the lower ones might now get that big due to not getting light penetration.
