I am worried that my plant is being burned by the cfl lights. This is in a custom pc box i built. the lights are 2 60w micro minis. I had a 100w cfl but it became too big for the the box with the plant so i switched to 2 smaller ones and put the one on the side. I have a fan on the outside of the box pointed in for more room. Am I being to worried or is my plant in danger?

no burning... that i see. go ahead and top, or start training it to get the most out of your space. it is a little stretched. keep the light a little closer next time when u start the seedling out. put your cup on a stack of cd cases or something and take cd cases out as it grows. but dont let it stretch so much with out training it next time!

i only see a little curling, overall all not bad....i would not top this
the two bottom seed leafs can be removed, i would also try to get something white in there as a reflective souce

the surface like that can reflect light at oblique angles and cause hot spots, something flat white would be better

That plant is hungry for more light. You need more wattage and the lights need to be closer to your plant. That baby is stretching and it can weaken the stalk causing it to break when it starts putting on buds. Beautiful color though.

The top stem on my plant is purple while the rest is a nice green.. Is this ok for the plant or is it getting too much or too little of something?
