After many trial and errors (since im a beginner) this is what i finally came up with.

I want peoples opinion on it. Is it healthy? is it too stretched? its been about 1 and a half weeks or 2 weeks since this has been growing. Give me your inputs please!

Setup:
1 75 watt plant light
shishkaberry x budda x seed

thanks!

It looks a little stretched out but no worries. simply try to get the light a little closer to the plant, like about 1" 1/2 inches would do wonders. Otherwise not to bad. Keep me posted.

im scared the light might burn my plant since it not one of the ones that is discussed on these forums, its just a "plant light" from home depot

Alright then, move it down to 2" to 3" inches away from the plant, that way you still give it room to grow without actually burning it. Plants don't usually grow more then 2" in a day. So try it and see if that works. Only way to learn is trial and error. I can tell you what I know but that's only gonna take you so far.

Whoa that one is really lanky,move the light down and move your fan where it just breezes it a little to begin with then move it closer as the stem thickens you will know when it is time as your plant will stop swaying.Usually when they are like that it is a good idea to bury it up to the seed leaves but I don't think that is an option here.

Sure if you can keep it green it always has a chance,just keep the light close and get some wind on it good luck.

Agreed. I just thought I'd mention the fan while it is still young, as you don't want a plant with 5 nodes on it and bending in half due to such a thin, weak stem. I haven't ever grown indoors, but I do know that you don't want your plant "reaching" to get to light, as a lot of it's energy will then be going into elongating the stem rather than producing new, better growth.
