hey its my first time growing and ive had my plants now for about a month and a half but the stems are very skinny. i want to know if the lights im using are the right ones. here is a pic of what im using http://us.a2.yahoofs.com/users/437f67bdz6153d1b1/mobile/__sr_/7da4re2.jpg?phYylhDBxMOGMbnJ
cant see the picture. what type of light is it? do you have a fan blowing on the plants? if you dont thats probably why the stems are thin. stick a fan in there and your stems will get fat as hell (if hell was about a little under a centimeter fat)
you don't really need a fan .........it helps but you don't ...... just bend the stem around a little bit will help induce stem growth by stressing the plant....... my LST plant is about a 1/4 in thick and my cropped plant is roughly 1/8 in thick its amazing what a little stress will do
