Most likely from a water droplet. If it starts spreading to other leaves and ya have been carefull to not get anything wet, then it's time to investigate.

That plant is sooo stretched bro, it needs some light asap. There should be tons of internoding and side branches by now. If ya can go get some CFL's, like three 40 watters and light that bad girl up. The lights will run ya less than 50 bucks and if ya are serious about growing ya need to do something there bro. A plant like that isnt going to yield anything. If ya wanna start building a correct setup, let me know and I can walk ya through it.

Unfortunatly it's not as easy as just putting them under lights early enough, ya do need the correct kind of light. People veg out there plants with anywhere between 18 and 24 hours of light. Yes, to induce flowering they need to be in a 12-12 light cycle.

1st off get rid of the tin foil and replace it with white paint or white poly or mylar. Foil produces hot spots that will burn the plant. That looks like a 15 watt or soo CFL-way to little, but get it like an inch away from canopy to help at all. Get some loot to go to home depot and lemme know how much ya have to work with and I'll tell ya what to get 1st.

Your all good bro.

[samstuff]

right now all i can aford to get is a lithonia lighting 4 ft.2 lamp. 40 watt t12 res. fluorescent strip light and a intermatic 15 amp 1750 watt 125 volt ac 24 hour heavy duty timer, im going to take down that foil today and paint the walls white. unless u can find cheap i can buy for $30 thats all i have atm.

Bro thats not even a grow light, thats like the light i have in my basements drop ceiling. If you can afford that, you should be able to afford some CFLs, I dont think it gets any cheaper...

When it comes to grow lights ya have a couple options. Either ya need tons of 4ft high output flouros-not personally the way I would go- CFL's- In which the more the better ya cant have to many until it becomes a heat issue.Then of coarse HID which is the best for yield and penetration but makes alot of heat. then theres LED's but ya arent going to go there anytime soon. If you decide CFL's-your best bet, they are cheap and very effective. Get as many of the highest watt ya can find and lace it up. keep them as close as possible without touching like 1 or 2 inches away from plants.

cfl is the best way for me to go im growing in a closet with no venting system, just a fan on low, and two blankets stapled ove the entrance. What about carbanated water,can i use the to mist over the plant so it can use the co2

Personally I am not a big fan of misting with anything. The only thing I spray my plants with is neem oil for mite prevention/eradication before starting 12-12.

yo sam, the one on the right looks like my 105 watter so i would go with that. It cant be worse than the other one, those are the ones i have all over my house. Hope that helps..
