This is the grow room i got in a closet.
2 80W plant lamps and i am waiting for other 2 of those.

I just wanted to show you the pics the plant that is 45 cm started fucked up, just light in a closet where the height was like an meter and the walls just 30 cm.
That's the reason why she is so skinny down there.
I need some advises and i will post up new pics again.

How do if it's female ?

First of all you should lower your light so your plant is not streching. And you should start reading other post to help yourself. Just scroll through and start off by reading grows like your own and you can learn a lot.

Im so scared of hurting the bigger one if I lower the other ones.
And yeah also i have already put up the 3rd 80W lamp and the 4th is on the way. So i will take pictures when the set is stable.

Thanks for the advise of lowering the other one i already did. And the 3rd light is already doing some effect. But the leaves are stretching much up now.
Also Im beginning to find some buddy smell :thumbsup:

Isn't it good for the plant to stretch ?

And you would somebody think it's idea to just take the foil away or keep it? Because i think the white paint on the closet or what it is reflects well.

Streching is not good. Well sir why is that? Well I am glad you asked, you will want your stem to be thick and stought so when you get the big buds on top and sides it wont want to lean or snap under the weight.

And with the foil you can go to the FAQ and see test people have done with foil, mylar, white paint and so on.

Flat white paint is more reflective than foil and mylar is the best. You probably need to keep the lights closer and you need more of them. The main stalk stretched so far because the seed was probably not deep enough in the soil and also it is stretching for light. It's sparse because there is not enough light too so CFL is the best way to go for you. That many pots you probably need at least 150 actual wattage. Range 5000K for growth and 3000K for bloom. You need fertilizers! You could get them locally at a hardware store. I suggest seaweed tea as a catalyst. Get an NPK for veg that is like 10-5-5 and for bloom NPK 5-10-5. It should say on the package. You could make tea too out of blood meal or bone meal. They have that too. You just stick an ounce in a ladie's stocking and brew it in a micro safe pitcher with some hot water - about 34 ounces and you got fert. The bloom may require getting a package like Orchid bloom or rose bloom. It's up to you but be good with the NPK and follow instructions.

Honestly flat white paint is the best. Mylar is second best btw. In fact most people dont know how to install it without getting all the wrinkles out. With the mylar it makes a great place for all sorts of bugs and powdery mildew to grow inbetween the wall and the mylar.

Like I said, got 4 lamps running right now 320W. I'll post pics when i get the opportunity to do.

I realized just 2 days after nothing happened to the germinated seeds that they are dead. So Im planting the other seeds tonight.

The leaves look much more healthier right now not hanging like they do on these old pictures.

I'll post pics tonight or tomorrow.
