Xfactor - my mate is growing 2 of these and they are just as old as mine but look nothing like it they are about 6" tall and only on the 2nd node.

KingKronic - thanks man, yeah just the one plant and this is my 3rd grow i had lowryders in both previous grows and have had some decent results.

And to the update - got a 250w hps today and have been giving bio-bloom every watering since it started flowering about 5 days ago. i attached the fan to the side of the hood to keep the temps down i have the light 16" from the top of the plant.
