Umm, i think you are using an incandescent light, that or what ever your using has been way to far away. your plant is stretched pretty bad. check your light, what is it? an classic bulb, or swirly?
 
Your plant looks very healthy, keep up the good work. How old was the plant before you put it into flowering (12/12)? How tall? It looks to me like you could have waited a bit before shifting to the 12/12 light cycle. What kind of light are you using?
 
its a plant light from walmart and the light is close enough the pic just lookes diff im pretty sure it looks streched cause its some plain reg weed..should i get a diff bulb
 
and it was about two months old wen i started flowering it been on the 12/12 cycle for like a week and a half tips greatls appreciated:peace:
 
lol DAMN IT!! they need to stop making those bulbs lol SOO misleading lmao yo i bought one as well in my setup thinking "PLANT BULB, THIS IS JUST WHAT I NEED" and posted it up and have read that the bulb you and i and a handful of other people on this site have purchased doesnt do anything your better off with like a reg t 12 shop bulb cool/warm white. just an fyi! well happy growing i will stay tuned and yea that plant seems a lil leggy (stretched) you may want to throw a few cfls in there if you cant position the flouro just right cfls you can manuver very well!!! well hope that helped! dont worry, made same mistake lol(walmart plant bulb=garbage for herb growin). happy growin smoke a JAY!!! =)

yes... go back to walmart and get some cfls or some floro tubes. i prefer cfls myself, but my older set ups used both tubes and cfls. try to get at least 23-26actuall watt bulbs. i dunno if walmart has y splitters but you need a few of those too, if they dont your local hardware, home center will have them.

unless you are attatched to that plant i kinda recommend starting over. or you could flower it out with proper bulbs.

ps dont feel bad tons of us screw up when we start. i tried to grow with a flood light, and a blue party light... then progressed as seen in pics on my first grow. now ive got a massive 550watt+cfl rig and a 600 watt hps. if you grow seriously, you will always be wanting to upgrade. at least i do.

one thing i noticed and adding on to what they said, the plant deff looks stretched.... putting into flower now, well lets just say it will either: A- produce very little bud, or B- it will produce alot of bud but will not be able to support it with the stock as then as it is. I say if it produces buds and u ntice the plant starting to get heavy, suport it with a steack or evan one of those tomato support fencing. I have found great luck with those!
Hope all goes well!

Did you say HIS plants looked streched? :lol:..you definatly need more light, my man

just real quick umm just to correct i believe but the pics of his are actually examples of his first grow with not enough lighting.. if i am correct correct me if im wrong lmao but he has a pretty good journal goin lol as for you kronic it looks much better with the new lighting you got but if are goin to be doin flowerin ide def use some type of support also try to get some more potassium in with the mix of the soil =) promotes strong roots and stems so yea def get that. lol but other then that man happy growing!! =)
 
That plant looks like it couldnt even handle a foilar spray as skinny as that stem is. Not sure what light you bought but I would suggest getting more light to plant cause its definately stretching to find some. Your probably going to have to support any buds that grow as others stated Good luck:peace:
 
yeah it was the absolute begining of my growing career. of the plants pictured only one made it to flowering. several were male, and i culled one. the one that i flowered turned out great. i started flowering it right at 3 weeks if i remember right. it was fimm'd and lst'd a bit. i ended up with 1 oz of amazing smoke. oh i really think you should get some new lights, those "plant" lights suck. cfls work much better.
