aye it will b small what kind lights should i get and how much will they cost
as many CFL (compact flourescent lights) as u can afford AND at the highest wattage u can get. Now remember with CFL lighting, u have to really watch the wording & read the package, because they will say something like 100watt, but really when u look closer then r only light 9 watt which they say is EQUIVALENT to a 100 watt standard bulb. I understand wanting to get on "the cheap" nothing wrong with that, but to produce the MOST bud & the better tighter bud, not loose shit, u r going to have to invest a little more. ANY more light (CFL) is better then none. Remember if u can only afford one, better to get a true 65 watt CFL bulb, then 10 CFL's that r only 9 watts each. If u can afford a few, which you can literally place on top & even to the sides if u want, get a few like 26 watts in the 2700k range since u r in flower.

sry...saw u asked about price probably about $10 for the 26w, maybe $15 for the 65w, just a gestimate of my memory... don't use CFL except for seedling, & then it is a 54w T5 tube lighting.

yep, local walmart if u have one, anywhere they have them! people get 3 sometimes 6, some place them around the plant, some hanging on the electrical cords around it, some use 3 way splitters (one or two of them), check out the forum on this site CFL Grow to see hundreds of examples of how you might want to choose to use them :)

It's obvious you need more lights, but it looks like you didn't top it. You got to top it or else it's going to go straight up to the moon. The nodes will be stretched out and lanky. The plant will look like a vine, like yours.

Some people don't want to cut off parts of their plant but its required. If you spoil your child it will growup to be a worthless POS. You need to cut and train your plants in veg. If you don't like to cut on your plant then look up super cropping. better luck next time
