Hello everyone. this is my first grow ever. i am currently using flourescent bulbs until the veg period begins but so far everything is going as planned. i am going to switch to about 8-10 26w (1600lumen) CFL's after this week is over. i plan on weeding out the males once i can tell from the preflower, but that wont be for another few weeks. currently they are starting their second week. i am using peat pots and organic soil and i got the seeds form some humboldt bud and some "old school" from the club. i have a de-ionizing fan blowing on them and just added anothe grow light. the only thing im worried about right now is the stretching, if someone could tell me if they are looking alright that would be awesome. any tips would be greatly appreciated and i will be posting my questions to you as well, so check back often. happy tokes!!! :joint::joint::joint:

Pretty decent set up...Better than mine hehe.

but you do have "Stretch" taking place..
You need to move your lights closer!
if you dont your stem will grow so long that it wont be able to support the plant and will collapse...

So move the light's about 4-5 inches from the top of the plant and you should see the plants growing more leave's instead of growing in height.
