They are going into their fourth week and seem small for their age compared to other posts. I am using cheap soil and 150 w halogen lights. I'm getting some T5 Fluorescent lights in a week. I feed them Fox Farm Grow Big based on the standard feeding schedule and they get 15 hours of light per day

I agree with blake999. A cfl twisty light will work just fine for this young stage. go steel one out of a lamp quick. 5 plants you will need 5 cfl's. hope this helps! happy growing!

It's all about providing the right spectrum for each stage of growth. Those Halogen bulbs are useless for ANY stage of growth. About two to six CFL's will hold you a few weeks or so till you get better lighting. I grew my outdoor plants under CFL's for the first few weeks and they on their sixth node after about 2.5 weeks. They're outside now and happy for the jump start.

Okay even when I was growing with 60w led light bulbs, I didn't but get stretch like this.

People will shit on me for this but if this is just a first Grow and you're not wanting to really get into lights even for a few more weeks, swithbor add lights. Go to the dollar store, or I guess Walmart but my dollar store has shit I'm every week that's way over a dollar but they sell it for like 4$ lmfao idk. They have these led dim lights. 1100 lumens, 60w and you get 4 big bulbs in a pack. I used those all the way until I placed outdoors but you can do orb unuill you get real lights. And I used 4 fixtures for 11 plants on a dresser lol and , mine didn't be like like that.

Maybe I say your plants look like giant seedlings. No joke they are cute but scary lol

Good luck mang!

They’re just really stretchy and have less nodes than they should. They need more light. They look generally healthy, though.
