  2. Your plant looks awesome and looks very healthy. But if you want it tall then don't top or fem it. it's that simple.

    Happy Growing
    Will
     
  3. Better lighting? Nutes for roots?
     
  4. i'd advice at least 60w of light. True watt not advertised watts.
    It looks like you still have feeder leaves. soo expect hella nute burn within the next week.
    Its way to early for nutes. For a 5 week old plant, its tiny. my plants look like that by 2 weeks, but you have little to no light so who knows. at least look into getting a better light. Spend $70 on some '300 watt' chinese grow light off amazon
     
  5. You definitely need more light!! If your gonna put it outside then just an hour or 2 the first few days then go to 3 or 4 the next fee days and then 6 then 8. Once your plant seems to be thriving under 8 hours of full sun then plant it outdoors. This is called hardening the plant. Having it under such small light for 5 weeks it's not going to have a great root system yet so take it slow and easy getting it outside.
     
  6. Cfls are great for vegging. But a lot more light will be needed to flower.

    This clone rooted June 1st and this pic is during transplant to 1 gallon pot of Tupur,
    And grown under (2) 100 watt equivalent, 23 actual, cfls.

  7. You need a shitload more light than 26 watts - more like 140 actual watts is necessary. You wanted to know how your 5 week old is doing? It's healthy but it looks 2 weeks old. Get more light and good luck.
    4.5 weeks from sprout for a comparison.

  8. I agree. She is tiny. Lights good medium with perlite added if applicable.
