Your lights are too high, get them much closer to the plant. Repot and bury that stem in the new dirt so the leaves are just 2-4 inches above the soil.

Keep them under the cfl's for longer then 2 hours, half window sill half cfls.

Guess you better get some table lamps. And put the cfl in that. And keep it a few inches away. Or you will never fix it.

ya i've been screwing with CFL's and tricky seeds for awhile.
Light's too high, not strong enough, or a mixture of the two, lol

Hope this helped a little
Stay cool bro :)

Hard too when you just quit smoking have poison ivy and the only thing I want too help my insomnia, a pipe or a paper perhaps even a little hash in a bong. something too take the edge off all of this. Damn it's hard too be a stoner without being dry. ;(

Yup yup You need to get CFLs like 2-6 inchs away from the plant. I saw you got a light closer to it but you might also want to go get a different bulb in the 6500k range they call them daylight at the stores. It will give much brighter light and better growth for foliage if I am not mistaken

go to the store and buy CFL's i bought 3 15Watts bulbs for 7$. just go buy them and place it under them becuase the plant is streching becuase its not getting enough light

hey I have like two other bulbs will do a little research on worse case scenario ill just go buy a plant grow bulb from home depot today but thanks and set up a small cab. Set her too close dryed a leaf a little not enough water light was too close overnight :/ but yea I think my lightis in that range. :) alright soo I have 3 ge bulbs one 15 watt helical one 20 watt helical and one 26 watt helical plugged into my dome... Where could I get a bulb that's for daylight are you talking about like a 15w uvb helical cfl daylight bulb for reptiles or an actual daylight cfl? atm have nothing too put the bulbs on could go drop a couple bucks on this little project and make a real cab too start but, I would have too put it somewhere else and start her hydro checking on her every few days and would be kinda sketchy but I think I know just the place. :)
 
Also just got another lamp for her put the 15 watt on her and am putting the 20 watt in the dome omy too making a cab with some scraps that I have the 15 watt it a much cooler light that seems too stimulate her better soo I think I can work it out between the 15 and 20... Thanks for the help wont need a true daylight bulb for a little while longer. :) Any suggestions would be much appreciated! Need plenty of help too guide her in the right path... :)

Don't get those plant grow bulbs they are complete crap IMO! Just stick with like a 25-40 watt 6500k CFL.

I splurged on a fluorescent T5 when I finally broke down and decided I needed a real light setup.

It is a Maxlume 4' 4 bulb T5 fixture came with 4 High output 5700k T5 bulbs. It was $160 at my local hydro store You can get it slightly cheaper online. It has grown my veggies like a miracle as if I had them outside in the sun. Now I have some little green babies under it:leaf:. When it comes time to flower all I have to do is go buy 4 2700k bulbs for it and viola I have a flowering light.

Alright thanks well the 26 watt I had in there was too much making a cab and have her under a 15 watt atm going too be replaced with a 20 and a 26 in the dome need some ideas and time befor anything thanks didin't think I needed too waste more money on almost nothing...

You should be totally fine with the little girl a few inches away from your cfl. Get as many of those cfls as you can on her asap and she will really return the favor ;)
 
Alrighty Man thanks alot doing that atm just gave her a good 17 hours of light and bout 8 of dark ganna start too crank her up and get her ready for her new home. :3
 
fuck she's done my fan stopped last night and she overheated found her this morning barley alive on the bottom of her dried cup, sad day indeed but nothing I do about it anymore watered the shit out of her and thinking about replanting the roots and hung her up on a twistie too see if she wants a little of some real sun too help fuck shoulda used my 15 watt and 20 watt but noo had too use both 20w and 26w and my fan dies fuck my life... Anything that I can do too save her tell me please! got her standing on her last limb trying too get some water and some real light while she can.

if the lights cant come down, move the plants up.

i use school books to elevate my plants. boxes. anything really.

also what are temps? they have a blue-ish hue to the leaves meaning temps could be low.
