63w total hahahahahaha

better going down to the hardware shop and buying a box of 20 candles.

you might have more luck, remember to blow out the candles after 12 hours and re light them again after another 12 hours.

you can use your sundial during the day, but will have to use a sand timer at night.

get water from the well and let it sit for a few hours to warm to air temperature.

just throw in a few scraps from the dinner table as feed and mix with the soil.

In other words....haha(sorry).... is that your plant needs LIGHT. Get yourself a decent light (I recently bought a 600w-400w digital ballast for under $250. The older style ballasts are even cheaper - under $100 for 600w ballast with fitting & reflector, 400w even cheaper.)
All a plant needs is light,water, nutrients & air circulation....it's not rocket science :)

Good luck.

its apparent you don't know how light works and how plants absorb light ... Watts and lumens don't mean shit. Dawg pulls 1 gram per watt with 310 w of led. Captainmorgan pulled a half pound with 190w of cree led globes from home depot. I pull 4-5 zips a plant / 8 plants with 330 w of CMH. Its about spectrum and par and cri. Petflora pulls over a zip a plant with 22 w of cree.

James for one plant your wattage is fine. They are probably to far way. Cfl's need to be within a couple inches of the plant. If buying more I suggest get like 3 2700k and 1 5000k cree led globe s 9.5 w from home depot. $13 each. 10 year warranty. 80cri. High par 84lumens per watt.

oh I know how it works alright, and if you think that 36w of cfl wattage is anywhere near Dawgs 310w of led, or captain morgans 190w of led, you are deluded my friend.

For vegging and as small as it is that's fine. When flowering he can upgrade. He has a while til then. I've vegged plants to 4 feet tall using 3 27w cfls in a reflector before. It worked fine. Flowering on the other hand....
