1st grow ever, experimenting.

Right now I am only using 1 CFL. I might add more, but we'll see. As for the guides, I have read so many guides that they all seem to be the same to me. I know exactly what to do and how to do it, I just want to see what I CAN do, given a minimal amount of supplies. I come from a long line of gardeners, and landscapers. I want a real challenge. Growing MJ inside, with the bare minimum basics. I dont expect it to be real potent or anything. It was bagseeds from stuff that was just decent.

anywho new pics:

wow...those are the wrong pics. These are the ones I wanted

Dude lookin good so far. Make a reflector for the light. It's like getting free light, b/c otherwise it would mostly hit the ceiling. peace, venture bros rocks.

looks like a bit of stretching, bust open that lamp and hang the cord from something, get it about 1" from your plants or until it doesnt burn the back of your hand. im a nongrower, but this is what any grower would tell you

your gonna need some more light in theyre man 1 cfl isnt gonna cut it.. i would be aiming at at least 4 cfls and a flouro light on top of them..

Okay, so an update. I am currently adding reflective material to the inside of the box. I want to get as much as I can out of this one light. Here are some pics. How do they look to you guys? Its day 6 in the soil. I started germing them on the 2nd. The little guys seed husk stuck togeter and stunted its growth the first few days, so its a bit quite a bit smaller. I dont know how big they are supposed to be at this stage, so I am afraid they're stretching too much. What do you guys think? I would add more lights and actually move them into the closet, but right after I started these I lost my job, so no funds for any new material yet. And I dont wanna ditch them. Anyway, here are the pics.

Nobody has an answer?

Is it normal to be that tall and have such a small stem? im just afraid its going to end up too weak.

how close is your light to your plants? They look a little stretched, that's why I asked. With CFLs, get them as close as possible without burning your plants. For instance, I reccomend you check out Garden Knowns "What should a healthy 2 week old plan look like?" or something along the lines of that. He grew in Miracle Grow, with only CFLs ,and grew an amazing plant.

By the way, how many watts is your CFL? At Wal-Mart, you can get a 3 pack of 100 watt CFLs for $7.

its only a 60 watt cfl. I know thats way too small, and I plan on getting better ones asap. But thats all wally world had at the time. I am probably gonna get some new ones from http://www.1000bulbs.com, they seem to have pretty good prices on bulbs, plus they actually have all the info on each bulb. Hopefully tomorrow I can get something better. I busted open the lamp I was using s I could get them closer. Turns out, the light was almost 2 1/2" away from them. Now its about a half to three-quarter inches away. Hopefully that will help slow the stretching. I know I am totally going opposite of all the rules, but its what I can afford at the moment.
