Ditch the UVA light and get some cfls (or a HID, if you are really serious about growing). Also, DO NOT USE 12/12 LIGHTING UNTIL YOU ARE READY TO FLOWER YOUR PLANT, and when you do this, stick to the 12/12 schedule until harvest time.

Read the growFAQ at the top of the page, as you really seem to have no clue what you are doing (no offense).

I can't tell but if they are lanky then its lack of the right lights. Since you are vegetating, see if you can get a MHS light. But anything is better than UVA (except for incandescent). Good luck.

i got this spiral looking light but when i used that it went down but when i use the uva light the leaves atood right up so i dont know what 2 do about that and im kinda broke and this is my qst indoor kuz i did out door and they got very big tho

the spiral is a cfl and its a 27w but its bright white with a small tint of yellow to it and i have this box made up with reflect and all of the good stuff but the cfl seems to be working now but i got a question i already fim`d my plant and it has blades growing already but when should i do the lst ? please give me some help and thanks

you also want to put the light as close to the plant as possible without burning it... it looks like you have some stretching there, that's usually a side effect of having the light to far away.
Some degree of air flow is a must too.

I haven't seen what a weak marijuana plant looks like, until now, and I'm sorry.

Needless to say, CFL's have been proven to work great and are kinda cheap...

You need, at the least, that.

Hurry, you're running out of time!

well now i changed the mixture to 8-7-6 so is that good and my light is starting to work and i built a better enclosement for it so it gets cfl light all around it and its looking better but i have the question of lst when should i do that ? and will it work better for my lil buddy or what ? so let me know what i should do kuz i changed the bulb and environment and mixture so what and i to do now please hurry with a respond and i will update pictures and a couple days but i can take all the advise and is a 27w cfl good enought with the whole environment reflected or what and should i keep my light on 24 hours of the day ?

A bright white bulb is in the 5000K color range and should work well. As for listing, you can do that at anytime although I would wait a little to make sure your little guy has decent roots and stock. The stock on that looks so skinny that it would fall over by itself if you blew on it. Put a little fan on it or something to get it to strengthen its stalk if you can. Just a slight breeze where it is moving a little will strengthen it up. Also move the light right on top of it so it stops stretching. If I am listing, I usually do it when multiple shoots come up from my FIM. You will notice that some shoots will grow faster than others as well as the main growth. I start tying it and pulling it to the side to get the top canopy at the same height. As each shoot grows, I will adjust it to keep everything even on top, which can be easier said than done if you have a pile of plants.

Here is a pic of a plant where I pulled the three main shoots back to try to keep them even. Although the smaller ones in the center of the pic never grew, fast enough to keep up with the other three. The three main colas grew nice and developed long big buds and it opening it up and allowed the two lower buds to develop nicely also. Anyway that’s how I like to list it to open it up.

i have a fan on it and its pretty sturdy and wont fall over the string i have on it was because i was going to lst it but its crazy my first 2-3 row are 3 bladed and my 4th is a 5 blade and will they develope more after that or what and nice pic i want my lil buddy to look like that of course

can anybody tell me what these growths are that are in between my stem and leaves and are there going to be new shoots growing there or what because my plant is very young still the growths are where the sexing of the plant is so any advise about it anf i fim`d my plant but its just regrowing what was cut off b4 so i just need help and thats what this site is for so any advise would work thanks
