So is the number one reason plants stretch because the light source isnt close enough to the top of the plants?

Ya.....the actual light I used to get my plant to the 16-17in mark was a shitty 150w incadescent single bulb! Cut me a break im new, lol. In fact I just today bought a new lighting system. I am now using (2) SunBlaze T5 Florescent high output strips. My model is 24in long, 24w and 2000...

lol....uh.....my tallest is 17in. Ive been doing 18/6 light cycle for about a month straight now. However my plant is extemely thin, it has a nice stem and holds up good but when I see pics of others there plants are WAY WAY more bushy looking then mine. Bushyness is nonexsistent on...

lol to be honest im not sure bro.....but I would like to see the pics, post em!

I have somewhat limited space and was wondering how much taller a pot plant usually gets when flowering? I plan on flowering when my plant reaches around 20in

To my knowledge you can flower almost whenever, but dont expect much from a small plant. People will flower small clones only about 10in tall or so just to find out the sex of the original.

lol....my tallest plant is around the 17in mark right now. However, for some ODD reason my plant is very very thin! When I say thin I mean its not bushy at all! Im kinda pissed about it, not sure if its crap weed or if my previous grow bulb (150w single incadescent bulb, hey im a newbie) is...

MonkeeMan......how long have you had the T5, you like the results?

lol......I couldnt help myself. I went and bought the same T5. So now im running (2) of the T5's for my grow, that should do it eh? :hump:

So being new at growing I didnt know my 150w incadescent single bulb was total trash (however it did grow my plant to 15inches). So I opted for a better more efficient setup..... I went to my local hydroponics shop and bought a nice yet inexpensive florescent Sun Blaze T5 high out-put tube...

I am very new to this and need some help..... It sounds like all florescents bulbs will promote growth in plants, but it doesnt seem right, do they have to be plant florescents? Also....I saw a setup of (2) 24in aquarium/plant bulbs at 20w/700 lumens each. Would this be sufficient for my...

Well what I really want is the tube florescents but when I was looking in the store they only had ones with no higher then 725 lumens at 20w? These were 18in tubes by the way, which is what length im looking for. So if my math is right 2 of those bulbs would only equal 1450 lumens at 40w which...

I am growing only one plant, but soon to be 3. I was looking to get a new and better lighting set-up. I was looking at a 45w Flourescent screw in bulb (SPECS: 2900 lumens, 45w) would this 1 bulb be sufficient for growing my small crop indoors? Also my grow area is small only about 3 sq. feet.

so.....I just read about the 150w bulb I have, the incadescent. Apparently they suck, lol. So i guess tomorrow I will be buying a flourescent. My question is what is the minimum Wattage of flourescent I should buy...250w, 300w, 350w? Again I am only growing 1-3 plants at a time.

Of course the bigger the plant the more pot it will yield but I was told that when the plants get around 20-25in. tall is a good time to start the 12/12 light cycle. This accurate? When do you guys prefer to start flowering?

Well i only had the 1 plant so I figured it would be enough, but no huh? Also any idea how much more a month some of you pay on your electric bill a month using these high power lamps?

Ok, Im growing a transfered plant that was only about 3in. tall when I got it. When I got it I immediately put it in a bigger pot with quality soil. Its been a month now since then. Im so confused because it is growing up nicely (about 16in. tall now) but isnt bushy looking at all! I see all...
