ive never grown before. how does this plant look. its about 2 months old. does it look good. bad. its had 20/4 light. should it be switched to 12/12? the seed came from a batch of very good bud but not chronic. just need some opinions. dont really know what to do from here. any suggestions on fertilizer?(the toilet roll is just there to give you a way to judge the height..lol)

what type of light are you using?. looks like its stretching, move lights closer?...temps? and i would recommend lights to 18/6 for veg...gives your plant time to rest which is good. you can switch to 12/12 whenever you want but most people will say to wait til its at least 1 foot tall. the longer veg the more yeild

Those are weak, I would recommend a 24/0 light cycle for vegging with those. You should have those lights 1/2-2 inches from the plant. I would get the fox farm trio(big bloom,grow big,tiger bloom) for nutes. you should get some reflective mylar or dull flat white paint or black white poly to line your grow with(No aluminum foil!) so your light is better refelected. your going to have problems with size, you should tie them down/start lst asap! tubes lose almost all their worth after 3-4 inches away, its already stretched pretty bad as is, the fact that plant about triple in size by the end of the stretch phase of flowering, which makes a bad situation even worse. You need to get more and better lighting. Have you thought of getting an hps? You should. Anyway, start lst and 12/12 now, youve already got a plant thats outgrown its lighting, the problems just gonna get about 3 times worse and the longer you wait the worse it will get. lol.

Do you know anything more about the bulbs? What spectrum or wattage? Your plants are definitely stretching. They don't have any lateral branching. You need to get it some more light so it will spread its roots which will develop lateral branching.

Couldn't say it any better myself, that being said they look really healthy other than the stretching going on!

there is no way i could buy any other lights.. i will when i can but for right now would it work to lower the present light and add another flourecent light fixture. i have a bunch of them in my guarage. i was thinking about taking this fixture and turning it the other way so the light would form a corner.(hopefully this isnt confusing) so that the other fixture will be more focused on the under branches. hopefully this will help... ive seen people grow with the curly flourecent bulbs and figured these would be just as good. guess not lol..
