totally inadequate lighting or light positioning or both have lead to severe stretching. Start again.

Horrible stretching. Bury it to the first set of leaves if you can. Move your lights closer.

Okay, First off. Welcome to RIU, second. Slowwww down mate... haha relax. This is a chill spot. Anyways first things first. Yank all those testers out of ur soil haha. Only put them in when you wanna test . Now Ur cfl is fine. Make sure it is 6500K. And use 2700K for flowering. You will prob have better luck inverstin in a few cfls. And keep them about 2" away from ur plant. Unless the temp is to hot. Tap water is fine, But let it sit out for 24hr before using it. It will nutrulize it.

The plant is not fucked by any means. Just buryin it to the first set of leaves. Get a few more cfls and put them about 2" away. Put ur hand on ur plant and if u cant keep it there without the lights burning it its perfect.

I have to disagree as to bury the plant to the first set of leaves he would need a very deep pot and the likelihood would be the stem would rot before recovery took place.

depending on his stem couldn't he bend it? Like kind of wrap it around the pot under the soil? know what i mean? it looks pretty flimsy and not to stiff so bending it shouldnt be to hard?

Stretching causes hollow, fragile stems.

you cant lst a plant like that. Please would everyone stop guessing at what should be done.

Op, it is not worth the time and effort. Sorry but thats how it is, I speak from nearly 20 years indoors growing experience.

Yes i agree you have more experience. But why would he toss a plant instead of testing some stuff? I mean its not dead? at least play it out somewhat?

Because its all about return on investment, to use a poker phrase. All the time he invests on trying to fix a 1 in 100 long shot wont help in the long run. Learning about how to fix a really badly stretched plant wont be of any use as the lesson to learn from this is never let a plant get like this in the first place ( I know you were given it op). Im sure I could save it but it will forever be using its energy to try and get to health rather than thriving. Over and out...
