there is your problem right there... 7 week old 3 week into flowering and you got em under 1 cfl, seriously man if that was a 1000 watt cfl im sure you would still have probs, you need more cfls... at this stage you should atleat have a few above and a few arround em, and you got 2 plants, look at my pic i got a 4 foot stetched monster and i i still need more cfl's. Get more more cfl's man
goodluck

nah thats why most people use em for first grows, cos they are cheap to buy and cheap on the electricity.

Yea man they look something like this, but there are better ones with more wattage that cost a little more, like a corkscrew shape, thats what im upgrading to once my main plant is done

nah man, it aint that bad, i grew 1 perfectly good WW under 1 200watt clf (envirolite) and i got about 1/2 oz dry.

Not saying your wrong dude, but you can get a good yeild under lowish wattage cfls.

How far is your light away from your plant? and get some lights for the sides

ive got the plants about, 30 cm away from the light, but yea, they are still healthy, i think im gonna try and find some money from somewhere to buy so more smaller cfls, i dont think i could afford a hps, lol. but thank you all for the helping hand. ill keep this thread fresh and updated!

you want your CFLs around 1-3 inch away from your plant. if the light is to hot for your hand then it will be for your plant. move your light closer.

I was vegging 4 plants under 1 200watt cfl (envirolite) and they were very healthy and grew real fucking fast. (all turned out male, damn nirvana seeds!)

it can be done, but not recommended.

I got 2 purple#1 femseeds (dutch passion) that are still babys, i intend to flower them in about 1 month under two 200watt cfls (envirolites)


i would get a hps, but i would have really bad heat issues...grow with what you can...aslong as your growing... its all goooood!
