My plant is exactly two weeks old today. I made this thread when it was a sprout and you can see exactly how it looked two weeks ago. I've been looking at pictures of two week old plants and my plant looks FAR too small in comparison. If it is too small, do you have any tips for me? I am currently using 1 CF light 24/7. I should also mention that I am using autoflowering seeds.
Thanks!

It def looks too small for 2 weeks, also looks stretched, you need more light, I believe that's your problem, plus I don't believe in 24/7 light schedule, to me plants should have some time to rest, I use 20/4 now with success, at least they get a little sleep, get some more lights on it....best of luck.

Thanks! yeah, I thought it was a lack of light. I'm gonna buy more bulbs tomorrow. I am using the 24/7 schedule because most of the autoflowering seeds guides advise you to use it. Thanks :D

need more light for sure and about 2-3" away. Also get a light breeze(small fan) on them to make them stronger. No nutes to them till there bigger, just water when it the planter feels light. Check out the book "Buds For Less" all on growing under spiral cfls.

my plants looked the same until I got my self a fan and more lights and started watering properly. Check out the difference. Both are sativas. first is C99 second one is Destroyer. First is day 14 20/4 schedulle all the way, second is day 15, but second I switched to 12/12 after 5 days from sprout. so my point is that factors like light and temps and air do influence growth that much...

Damn, that's a huge difference. So far i'm gonna get more bulbs, get a fan and adjust my light schedule. Do you keep the fan on 24/7?
Thanks!

To answer the question on fan, I keep my fan on 24/7, you need constant air circulation.

+1 on a fan for 24/7..
I can't believe that I was running two grows with a single pc fan. after I got 6" clip fan, plants showed me some respect for the air movement..
But keep in mind that it's not only fan or only light. all factors has to be taken into account i.e. temps, watering, feeding. Everything comes with reading proper articles/books/experienced growers and practicing on your own ;)

Good luck man ;)
