Newbie looking for A Little Help Growing with CFL

[aspireseries]

Hi

I have one plant ( dunno what strain) and i started a grow in my dressing room. I am using CFL, right now i have 1 x 65 W 6500K and 1 x 45 W 6500k for vegetative stage.

My plant is growing ok, in fact it fell to the ground because of the weight of the big leefs and i had to tie it to a stick.

I have a couple of questions:

• Will it recover and stand up by itself?
• How many lumens should i have for each stage ( veg and flowering) 2700K and 6500K?
• What kind of fertiliser should i use? (orchid fertiliser, cactus fertiliser, etc) and how often should i use it?
• When should i top my plant to make it grow bushy?

Any other tips you might want to add are welcome.

Here are some pictures of the plant:

it fell over because the stem is weak what do you got for a fan blowing around also do you have intake and outtake

those two side lights arent doing much wait till they get bigger for side light your just wasting energy also your gonna want to turn those light horizontal most of the light comes from the side not the tip and get up some flat white paint of mylar for reflection dont wanna waste any light when it come to cfl

I have a fan blowing on it, but i dunno what you mean through intake and outtake.

I will turn of the side lamps and try and build a horizontal support for the CFL's. Should i use lesser bulbs that have more power or more smaller powered bulbs?

you need air going into your room and the old air being pulled out

Don't spray it. The drops are weighing it down. Wait a week and keep your light an inch away.

At this time the room is open and i open the window once a day for fresh air. When i'll go to flowering i will use a carbon filter and get all the bad air out i guess.

like said above you need a oscilating fan to blow air over the plant gently simulating wing, as your using cfls ul need them 1-2 inch away from ur plant to be any use, u will also need reflective sheeting to get the most from ur lights, it could be white paint to foil, anything is better than nothing, i do agree with th post somewhere above about having fresh air in and stale out, if u arnt able to buy fans a window open will be better than nothing, goodluck peace
