move the light about 5 inches away from it then put a fan on it then w/e else u wanna do

How Many Weeks? Any Nutes? You should lower that CFL down closer to the plant.

watch it grow

On a serious note. get ur cfl a bit closer. I use T5 fluorescents (simiral to cfl) and I cant get my light much closer than 8'' even with a fan. BE CAREFUL with your fan! Don't have it blowing directly at your poor little plant. Just make sure there is air movement and that your temperature is below 85F.

happy growing man and give your plant some love.

what i learned from my first grow,

1more lumens equal more bud!!!
2get you lights as close as possible w?o burning your baby, from what i see your lights are way too far awy
3once it starts growing get it into a bigger pot
4dont apply fertilizers directly to plant (made that beginner mistake!)
5have lights on an 18/6 cycle till plant is about 1/3 the height you want at maturity, once there switch lights to 12/12
6if u clip every two nodes you will have more main kolas at maturity, just make sure u clip at an angle right above node.
7use an oscilating fan right from start to build up stem strength, otherwise your gonna be tying your baby up at the tail end of things!!!

happy growing!!
