Get more lights and much closer, they are stretching. You are missing too many things, they should be massive by now. Can you provide some info on the lights, the soil and what fertilizer(nutrients) you have been feeding?

^I agree with hbbum.

If that plant is really 3 months old you are doing something wrong.
Its really behind where it should be, should be ALLOT bigger after 3 months.

The plant looks healthy to me just very small for its age.

I would get a small fan to blow on the plant.
That would strengthen the stems so they are not so weak.

Get the lights closer to the plant you should be running them as close as you can get them.
That should start to get the stretch under control.
You are going to want 6500k bulbs (if you are not using them) for over them the UV light helps form stronger thicker stems and growth in veg.

And I would think about topping it at the 2nd true node.
It will get the plants height under control, give it a chance to build a strong base for future growth.
Its going to make the plant more even in height making it easier to get the light real close.
And it will even give you a better yield in the end.

What kind of lights are you using? Do I see a red spot-light?
Just in case you don't know, incandescent and halogen lamps are useless.

For what you have, I'd use at least 100(real)W of CFL's at a 3:1 ratio, of 6500K to 3000K. I get the 23W CFL's at the grocery store.

Good luck.

Welcome, First be careful what you read on the net about growing cannabis. 75 percent of the shit you read is false. As well as most of the stuff you will read around here. There is GREAT information out there you just need to find it. Start with this thread. https://www.rollitup.org/advanced-marijuana-cultivation/267989-uncle-bens-gardening-tweeks-pointers.html This will help you i promise. Read through the whole thing. You will learn a lot. Also as far as your plants look into topping as well. This is my personal favorite. Read UB's sticky in advanced. There is also some good lst threads if your going that route. Hope it helps. Keep it simple and be careful what you decide to listen to. Research it first. Good Luck

Welcome to riu, I agree, you need more light and the right one, they look too small and stretched for that age, sorry but you still can save it with the proper light.

Lights.. More of them. Also what are your watering habits? Is the soil airy and fluffy? Looks like your soil could use some oxygen as well.. Whats your grow room, how many lights you have and what kind of?
