Closet grow progress

Well I figured since I posted the other day for some help regarding a male plant I would now, post showing some of my other plants. If anything looks wrong or not right about the plants I'd appreciate any suggestions. If not I'm just sharing some photos of my babies :)

ok Well the tiny one is only 3 day from seed (white widow)
The 2 medium size ones are about a week old, I'd say about 5 inches high (Mazar x Afghan)
And the big one is about a month old about 12inches tall. I think I left her in a small pot for too long. I just transfered her into the pot she's in now and in 2 days she grew almost 2 inches. I dont know if she should be bushier though? She is also White Widow and will probably be put into flowering soon since my first was a male :( Anyways thank for looking

They look just a little stretched to me, but not bad. What kind/how many lights are you using? How close are they?

Other than that, they look ok. I'd try to give them more light, though. :thumbsup:

yea actually I was thinking they looked a lil strectched. I'm using 2 23watt cfl's which WILL be upgraded SOON. And they are not as close to the lights as i want them to be because i dont really have an adjustable light setup i try to keep them no more then 3-4 inches away from the light though. Next week I plan on purchasing 2 42 watt cfls to replace the ones i have now, that will nearly double the light so I'm hoping I'll get better results. Also I was just wondering if you or anyone can answer a begginers question.

How come when I see pictures from more experienced growers their plants are alot bushier then mine? I understand that mine may be stretching to reach the light source so they grow upwards, but some of these pics I see plants at 2 weeks that look fuller then my plants at a month. Any ideas? Something I'm missing maybe?

Simply put: More light (more lumens, not necessarily more watts) and a big root system will give you bushier and higher yielding plants.

Upgrading the lights is a good idea, but don't replace them. Just keep adding more lights (Y socket splitters and clamp light fixtures from home depot or walmart). You should have done what you are planning at least a couple weeks ago. 4 x 42w I'd say is the minimum you should have for one plant. This guy has a pretty nice setup with cfls:

Thanks for the advice. I try and do the best I can with my setup right now with my funds and so on but i will try and make it better as often as i can. Thanks again:thumbsup:
