first you say one female. are you in veg or flower cycle? you want red in flower blue in veg.

then you said "have tinfoil burns" get rid of the tinfoil! very poor light reflector same reflectivity as grey. paint it flat white much better light reflection. this should help growth.

lol on your grow.

i have red spectrum lights on veg , which i know is wrong they were given to me , i got rid of the foil and the burns are repairing m its really bushy and short at prolly 9 inches it seems to be ok i'll add pics soon. when can i clone it? and will it die from being under red spec on veg?

you said your plant is 9 inches tall, space is 2x2, how tall is your space ?
Reason I ask is you will probably will want to start flower cycle in the next week. Changing spectrum now will have minimum effect.
Your plant will increase 200% in size during flowering cycle. You can wait till your next grow to get the blue spectrum bulbs.
