Well, it isn't a monster, but it doesn't look bad.

Why don't you start a thread? That's way better, as your specific questions can be address there...
What lights are you using? Temps?

New thread! :) That's always good... ;)

Thns !!! i use 4 bulbs 40W = 160W for this plant :) and a fluorescent UV tube (Philips) it is good?
U see in the picture the bulbs!
I give to plant light 24/24 it is OK ?
Thnks again - PEACE -
The flourescent... is it one of those violet, glow in the dark lights?

If it is, I don't think it'll do anything for your plants. Maybe it will... but I don't know (maybe somebody can chime in?)...

Light nomenclature...
xx/yy
xx=hours ON
yy=hours OFF

So, if you're running your lights all the time ON, it's 24/0.

That's good. You can also run them 18/6. I only have experience witht he 18/6. Your choice... both are fine.

Can you give us the dimensions to your grow area? Height x length x width... inches, meters, feet, etc...

Get as much lights as your budget will alow... You can grow the plant with those lights, and also flower them. But you'll get more BUDS out of a HID (High Intensity Discharge) lamp... either MH or HPS (Metal Halide or a High Pressure Sodium) bulb.

If you can't buy both, try and grow the plant with the flourescents, and if possible, buy a HPS for flowering...

Best,

you need to get those bulbs alot closer to the plants. try for no more than 3-4inches away from the tops, otherwise those plants are gonna stretch like mad. flourescent light has a penetration of only 4inches! if you have a fan blowing you can get them practically touching the plants without burning them. just be careful!

edit:
also you NEED PERLITE mixed in your soil(ratio 32part soil to 1 part perlite)also if you are using a peat based mix you will need to add 1-2 tsp of dolimitic lime per gal of soil or you ph is gonna be way to low and that will cause all sorts of problems such as various nute lockouts. i shoot for a ph of 6.4.
