indoor plant is like a foot long, still top heavy. what to do!?

as for my plant now, i got home from work today, and i went to look at my plants and ofcourse this one was in trouble, it was off the stick leaning all the way over, not to mention the top of the plant is now curved too, i feel like maybe i should trash it and start over? but at the same time it still seems like a healthy plant, good green color, just the stem is so damn small. its getting kindof obnoxious.

yea if i had the choice to get cfl's i would, i feel like its my first grow, and theres plenty of seeds out there for me to get my hands on, this is kindof like a practice since i will definately be growing again. i need to make myself a grow box.

yeah man i came to that realization myself...ive basically just been evolving my setup since the beginning..which i suppose most people do when they first start out unless you put more time and effort into the preparation but where's the fun in that? lol j/k. my thing is that ive really been on this recycling kick lately and so ive been trying as hard as i can to just use materials that i already have and have done that for the most part, but of course ive spent money as well. my veg grow box is 4 storm windows that i made into a box, like an indoor greenhouse. anyways, rambling on but yes a grow box with some intake/exhaust ventilation is a great idea..

Hey Bud.Not sure what kind of soil that is but look.Go and get 3 or 5 gallon grow bags plastic from hydroponic shop or nursery.Get a bail of Sunshine #4 or Pro mix HD.Add nothing just fill the bag full water will flow out the bottom holes and then take your plant and carefully replant .you need too get a fan asap on it so stem strengthens.And your fan leaves are basically non existent.Go with a 400 watt mh or hps and use panda film for grow room walls.Keep it simple and you will grow very nice buds.Forget all the co2 and bs for now.Your plant looks like shit but it can be saved if you make things happen.What i have just wrote here is basic stuff,forget the transplanting from this too this .Take your seed and taproot or clone and plant it carefully just in the soil and leave it alone.Good luck and remember grow simple then play master gardener.My closet is full and smells of fruity grapefruit only 2.5 weeks into flowering ,my buds already have crystals in a big way and the colas are coming along perfectly.I'm into 9 plants with a 600 watt hps on on side and a 400 watt hps on the other.Again keep it simple until you can either afford or become experienced with a few good grows.My first grow turned out awesome but i also read about a dozen books on growing before i started anything.Anyway good luck and always water with warm water .Peace

ahhhh warm water, makes sense. is room temperature acceptable as well ? i suppose it depends on the temperature of the room but i keep my spray bottle in with my plants so its kindof the same temp..
