We ask about the stretch because it's a symptom of insufficient light. We see people on here growing with incandescent and halogen bulbs, which don't work for growing MJ, but give a plant some stretchy growth and let them believe they have a plant worth smoking. If this was your case, we would need to start with that. If not, we can move forward. I'm guessing you aren't using a light, but the sun from your window? That can be fine, just ensure a)you get the most, best light (at least 6 hours of direct light/day) and b) they are not visible from the outside.

I would tack on more growth and thicken the stem up before putting them into flowering. A fan blowing enuff air to keep the plant moving a bit will do wonders towards fattening your stem up. To get some real growth, get a 42 watt daylight or cool white CFL and place the plant under it 24/7 (except when you want to supplement with natural light).

That being said, we can help you only if you let us. We need to know details if you want to get more out of our experience. No one is here to just blatantly criticize learners. It is when learners get defensive and tell us they already know what they don't that we start to unleash...
