i just got it out of the box when i started my 12/12 but i did get it from htg supply and i`am starting to think they only sell referbed stuff because i think that both my bulbs i got from them looked kinda weak but this is my first grow so i dont know what the light is supposed to look like,my concern is the lack of bud on these plants compared to all other pics i`v seen at 4 weeks,somebody let me know

They look normal to me, but there are some things you can do to increase yield. I've bought books on growing and I recommend you do the same than relying on a forum so much. The light setting is ok on your plants. You may want to add more lumens to your light set and increase sugar level in your water. That is suppose to help increase it by 10%~20%. Try placing your lights towards the sides and closer to the center of the plants to help flower growth than height.

Did you have the light that high from the beginning? Also those look to be sativa dominant, I would squat that light down considerably and start flowering when they are under a foot tall, prune all the lower branches off.. When growing indoors its best to keep the plant manageable so your light gets the best penetration possible..

Best of luck, this is all part of your learning curve..

Look for a good indica strain ie snow white, bubbilicous, ww (get a white strain to start with would be my suggestion).. try growing only the cola and a few top branches, prune them while they are in veg or early flowering.. That energy will get sent to the top portion of your girls, the light penetration to the lower branches is too minimal and sucks the energy from the rest of the plant..

Thats how I do it anyways, others may suggest otherwise..
