Yea i dont have money for an expesive light tho... Could i stop it and do a smaller plant?
Nope. What kind of light are you using and can you get the plant into something that will allow the light to reflect back to the plant? Understand? Like a corner with white walls or something like it..

First off welcome to Riu and yes drop them lights to maybe 10 to 14 inches or hold your hand under the light and see how much heat it is putting off and then drop them lights as always thank you for your time and the best of luck
 
I thought it would be too intense if i put them right above but ill listen to u lol i never grew anything but doing a lot of research and diving in head first already started worm farming and making dry amendments myself... Like i said just learning on this one dont care about yeilds so much.. Dont even know if its female

Well I think you should still be safe and if you do drop them keep an eye on them you don't want to bleach the leaves but I don't think you should be worry about that as always thank you for your time and the best wishes to you and your family

Careful with the light being to close to the plant if you don't have a environment. To little humidity even with a low wattage light could lead to burning the plant. Good luck and have fun with it. Hopefully you can learn and as time and money allows you can purchase a better light. Keep a eye on your local craigslist or whatever you have in your area, often you can get used HPS or MH for next to nothing and even leds at times.

Hey bro your plant looks good. While you do everything mentioned above I would suggest you do some lst. Bend it right over and let the bottom nodes get more light. That way you can maximize the light intake coz the bottom nodes would get bigger just like the top node. Good luck.

ive got one of those i baught the other day, no theres no real heat to speak of. i baught another at the same time thats 150w but when it came its got a bunch of small circles of lights, not so good
you want to move the plant so its within the circle of light it produces, you can use an a4 sheet of paper to hold underneith it and use that to see where the direct light hits it and move the light to that distance from your plant

Dude, absolutely everything about cannabis revolves around light. Light first and foremost. If you can’t spring for $115 HID light kit you might put off buying seeds until you can. You can get a 600 watt with Metal Halide and HPS bulbs plus a cheap batwing reflector and the adjustable rope hangers for it. Enough light for a 4’X4’ space.
