go buy a small bag of soil and 2 or 3 sunlight style CLF bulbs that will help get the ball rolling, also get a fan to get some air moving past them

See how it's stretched? That's what happens when you don't have enough light. You want tight node spacing and thick stems to support weight during flowering. Get some additional lights ASAP. You want about at least 100W(total watts, not equivalent) for one plant.

remove that tin foil thingie before it burns your plant

you are far better if you put some white cardboard box around it

bring your light closer to the plants, or get more light, that stretch is not good

DDriver... I read another post of yours about the foil. Its not bad to use that in a pinch you just have to use the dull side... it does reflect light unlike mirrors and is perfectly fine for seedlings and vegging. Light closer, possibly more light at the right spectrum and a fan.

um.... dude what kinda light u got?????
You say its a small growing light but um... not to be mean or anything but you might get a bud off that plant... You really need some more light if its cost your worried about go get some CFLs 200 Watt daylight blue spec (not soft white) u'll be much better off. $6.00 bucks max

ok..hope your listening here... C, F, L (compact florecent lights) they are very inexpensive, almost the cost of 1 pack of regular light bulbs, they plug into normal light sockets, they only take up 42 actual wattage for 200W comp. They are the little squiggley/twisted looking lights you see now almost everywhere. I dont even put my seedlings under 10W I use 16W florecent tube for seedlings then switch to 200W cfl after a couple days.
This is the problem of why your plants are stretched. If you have to skip lunch 1 day and get the bulb, very simple solution to your problem. Seriously if you keep that/those under that light for a while still, your gonna have to reveg all over again for about another 2-3 months under CFL or MH light anyway. Might as well get a jump now.

CFL's are not expensive at all. 23W bulbs can be had for less than a dollar each. It's only the high-wattage CFL's that get a little pricey, like the 105W bulb(around $30).
