Remove all the rings and chains because all they do is get in the way and get those bulbs down as close as you can.

i have removed the rings but the chains can't be, i might be dissembling the whole light sockets of the chandelier. :(

what i did was to bind them all and put a wire so that it will not be hanging down and bump the lights.

long internodes tells me you aren't giving it enough light.
mr. dannyboy602,

yep, i agree with you about that it is because for the past weeks i have'nt put any CFL lights and my plants and just use sunlight.

but now i have fixed my grow closet again, i able to put some lights for my babies if its already night time.

Don't know how old u are, or if your in whatever kind of school and jobless. Been there, done that. If I was broke as fuck, and had a indoor grow which costs a lot in the end, not sure about only one plant never even tried only one... In the end, if I was u, I. would squire soil, or just wing it and go with dirt. Find someplace close to home and dig a hole and plant it in direct sun yet discretely. If u have to walk to your spot, take a milk jug full of water and check on it every two or three days and water it and let nature do it's thing... It's Amer! :-) good luck! Without money, a indoor grow is next to impossible. Sorry...

looks like you have nothing around the light to reflect it back towards the plant, therefore wasting the light you do have.

disclaimer: I am new so do not listen to me unless someone agrees with this.

After reading more your age is showing, and your def not legal at all. Probably not of age to buy smokes, let alone grow pot. Lol... u remind me of my gfs teenage son, yes IM only 25 she's 40. Blah blah, dude your only hope is digging a big hole, get ahold of that down deep soil, use a grocery bag, put the soil in there, transplant that plant, put it outside in sunlight while it's still summer and water it from the tap every couple days, it's better off this way than what you'll be able to financially provide, trust me. No bullshit, it will live , or due. In the end you'll have learned something, and also might have a sizeable amount of smoke given the variables.

chandelier??? man you made me smile :)) no offense but this is really some uncommon things ahappening here :D
yeah with those lights reflectors would help a lot.. cfl has very poor light penetration, when other RIU members say move that light as close to the plant they mean it. you need to keep 1-3" from plant. as plant gets bigger, you will be running around that plant with cfls in order not to burn the plant but also keep it close. going to be difficult. Planting a plant outside is not that bad idea, but it would increase a risk of parasites, you would not be able to control photo-period thus you would yield not that soon..
when I did my first grow with 2cfls, I after 65days of grow I yielded 1.5 gram. maybe less. now that is a waste of time and money. it's better to do it right, otherwise you are going to yield anything but knowledge of what not to do on your next grow.

yeah sir, i used my grandpa's chandelier i hope he won't be needing it anymore. and i don't have a choice but to use it because you know i don't have cash, i am just using somethings in here that is not being used at all so that i can manage to grow my babies without using a lot of cash.

my problem later on is that when the fan leaves get big, light won't be penetrating below because the lights is only on the top, anyways it has four sockets and i have one y splitter so i can put a total of 5 CFLs, i also rebuild my grow closet and hang the chandelier there. ( i have already remove the rings of the chandelier).

still used my old lights and got the CFLs from other places of our house. (i asked my mom about it and she's fine with it as long as i return it if she needs it). :)

and also i have already done my resume. i hope that i can already take my training so that i can graduate and find a job so that i can buy many lights as much as i wanted. hehehe.

Sounds like you are being very creative, and taking our advice.
Hopefully this will turn out a little something for you at the end, in addition to the experience you will gain.

yes sir,

even though i have already grown once, i still need to learn a lot, learning is no end, learning will only stop if an individual dies. (a serious grow will be like no seeds just pistils and lots of trichs).

good thing that a 20 watt T5 fluorescent light was bought by my mom, (i asked her if she could buy me anyways its cheap haha)

(sorry to say but i really don't have cash and i have to ask her to buy it for me). i installed it and then boom, extra lights for my babies.

thanks for the like, but i have'nt done a grow with lots and lots and lots of trichs, but this time, i'll try my best to make my plants produce so many trichs, if ever my babies will turn out to be a female.

more light, more nitrogen.

peace.
mr. beastgrow,

yep, i have feed them already early morning. but only 1/4 strength, i don't want to get nute burn again like before. slowly gradually increasing it.

anyways should i still follow my feeding schedule like before? or can i experiment and make a new feeding schedule?

sorry, i am really having a hard time deciding on what will i do.
