10 inches tall and you only have 3 sets of leaves? Sounds like you aren't giving it enough light, it's streatching. What kind of light do you have on it? How far away from the plant is it?

Did you buy the incandecent bulbs? GET RID OF THEM!!! They are worthless. They get to hot to get close enough to the plant to give it full benifit of the light waves. Use the same fixture with the spiral 100w or 150w cfl's. Your plant is not getting enough usable light and it's streatching. You should be able to put the cfl's 2-3 inches away without hurting the plants. I garentee you will see an improvement in bushiness and growth. Put a small fan o them to help build the stem strength to support the bud when it gets big, or the branches will buckle under the weight. It will also help with the heat. I saw a grow of ice posted on here and he was using 4-100 or 150 watt cfl's for his entire grow, right through flower.....

well i already bought one dark blue grow bulb from happy harrys/walgreens it still running, i also bought a spot gro sylvania grow bulb from k-mart for 8 bucks, it recently blew last night n i replaced it with a i think maybe 30 watt cfl bulb but it looks really brighter. i think my one light could have been blown longer but i hadnt noticed because i run my lighting system 24-7
