Hello, I planted 2 seeds in my kitchen by a window just for the hell of it b4 I left on a weeks vacation. When I returned I found 2 plants about 5 to 6 inches tall, each with 2 round leaves and 2 jagged ones a little higher up the stem. So I did what any good pothead would do and I went out and bought 2 85 watt flouros each giving off 1600 lumens, some good soil, peat moss, and some new pots with good drainage. They are now almost 2 weeks old and are about 6 to 8 inches tall and are each starting to grow 2 more leaves by the other jagged ones. The problem is they seem so tall for their size and the stems are being held up by toothpics, If I removed the toothpics they will fall over. The jagged leaves are gettting a little bigger and new ones are forming it seems so is the weakness of the stems or the 8 inch height a problem? Oh yeah I just but a fan near them yesterday for some light wind. the flouros are 2 inches from the top of the plant and on all the time. Any suggestions would be most appreciated. Thanks.

Well u sound like me about 10 years ago. LOL! If the weather is nice outside, and there is lots of sun, put those suckers in direct sunlight for a few weeks. The floro's aren't gonna get the plants off to a good start, not ones that small. ONce you have a good mature plant, they can just hang out in the house with ya, pick a few leaves every once in a while :)

I'm a nOOb too. Check out this post I put out a couple weeks ago.
