way too early dude. That is still a seedling.

Nope. You are mistaking the smaller leaves which grow on every marijuana plant. A lot of new growers tend to mistake them for preflowers. I can't think of the name of them....

Well you will get light coming in when it's not meant to be. Thus resulting in hermi's. Can you post a better picture of the whole setup.

is it good enough??

If the "grow and show" is an incandescent bulb, ditch it pronto and buy yourself another fluorescent/compact fluorescent.

not good enough imo. you cant just have it behind a couch like that when you start flowering. youll need an enclosed, light proof space and more watts of lighting, proper lighting at that.

k
so i went out and bought a giant cfl that has like 40 watts but 2120 lumens
is that any better

Yup, just remember the more light, the better--as your budget allows, you might consider buying more light.

And you will need to light-proof your area for flowering.
