Please look: Pics of my plant, brown leaves dying

It's not the lights you're using, mine are worse. It very well may be the AMMOUNT of them though, partly ... that poor thing is light starved. Look at how much it's stretching!!! My own plant has about as many leaves and nodes, but with about three inches of very bushy height. I also have seven of those lights over it for 18/6. It's very inexpensive and it works. I'd say don't do any pruning. If you need to move something out of the light path, use twine and hold it off to the side that way. LST that thing.

Hi, you say it's better to have 7 less brighter bulbs?
Can you tell me the Watts, lumens, and Kcolour please?
I would love to see a pic of how your lights surround your plant, that would help alot! I had 2 lights for the first 3 weeks, then 4 lights until now. I pruned the dead looking leaves and the ones that were going to end up that way only. I hope that's ok. For LST, the main stem looks like it is rigid, should I bend the smaller branches? Thanks!

Hi all, plants are looking better.
I should get more CFL bulbs.
Is it better for me to buy more 27W 6500k at 1660 lumens OR 40W 2700K at 2900 lumens?
In other words what is more important: the colour (K) or the lumens?
I thought I read that 6500k is better for vegetation but would like to know your advice. Thanks!

my lower leaves are dying as well, i dont worry too much about it tho

lumens more because your plant is soaking up light through photosynthesis. you'll notice higher wattage is more lumens. I always use "sunlight bulbs" you can't go wrong. it's full spectrum. but since you're in veg stage I'd go with red.
