Growtard needs help!

[tarheelrocker6]

Hey Guys, I'm new to this site. I just started growing for the first time this morning, and not under the most ideal conditions, so I'm hoping for some help and advice to make the best of the situation.

I had 2 different plants at different stages come into my posession. The first is about 3 weeks old, a cross of Sour Diesel and G13 I was told. Its growing in soil, and the stem is very thin. I changed the soil, and used Foxfarm in the water I gave it. Right now, I have it under a weak ass 15 watt flourescent I had lying around. On Wednesday I am going to get it in my very cramped closet under 4 40 watt flourescent bulbs, and cover the walls in tin foil.

Any tips on how to strengthen up the stem? Its very spindly.


My second plant we literally found at my friends place and nobody knows where it came from. It is a Durban Poison plant that is already budding, was dated 3-31-10. It is in very bad condition and I have reason to believe its been neglected for at least a month. Any Ideas on how to save it, and if it can still grow even though it has tiny weak little buds on it? Will its yield be tained or hazardous?

Hope some experienced hands can help me because I have no idea what I'm doing!

Flat white matt paint is a very good/cheap/effective and clean way for reflecing light and cleaning. If you use tin foil crush it first and place the shiny side to the wall and the dull side facing the lights or as said hot spots can occur.

Have a fan blowing ditectly on to the plants so they are being moved by the air blast for strong thick stems but be carefull if they are really thin and if thats the case start with a light breeze and increace the breeze as the stems start to get thicker and you dont have enough lighting for vegg or flowering. Thats why they will be stretched with thin stems.
