Alright, the first time I grew can be found by searching schoolboy420 on here... Its embarrassing.
2nd grow, I'm not even going into. I just went about everything wrong.. Tried cheaping out, cutting corners, and ignoring all that I had learned years back on here.
This time around, started out with fox farms ocean forest, CFLs, and a random seed out of a good batch I had bought.
It started out damn near flawless within a couple weeks from germination it outgrew the mini guitar amp I converted and I had to go to a thrift shop to find something to convert into a grow box. I picked up a computer desk with a desktop like compartment for $10, Score! Something for my TV to sit on in the bedroom and a decent little grow space suitable for some LST.
And it looked like this..

Everything was going great, and I decided to go ahead and order some FF Grow Big offline. And last night I noticed it was touching the lights, one tip slightly burnt. No big deal, I just ran after some bigger lights and other stuff to prepare to up the lumens. I raised it up a few inches and turned them all sideways, because I read that you get the most lumens out of them when the lights sit sideways, not sure how true it is, but I went ahead. I just secured it all in place with the only thing I could find around... My wife's mustache duct tape. Apparently I didn't use enough. I woke up, checked the mail and my grow big made it, just in time for her(hopefully) to need watered. I open up the box and the lights had fallen on her and it looked like this when I moved them!!

Talk about serious disappointment.
Well I see that all on one side is still very green and I think with the right care she can come back stronger. I fixed the lights quickly before going in to work, and went ahead and fed her, wasn't too sure if I should've or not, but I went ahead anyways. The lower leaves were getting a little yellowish before that happened.
Well I noticed this happening to one of the leaves.

It looks as if it is splitting down the middle, the main stem is also swelling up quite a bit. I'm not sure what to take of that. I wish I could take a picture of that, but my wife would wake up and be awfully cranky.
I'm assuming its going to form new growth.. But I'm not sure. I've never seen this before, I mean, I still have newbie eyes. So with that assumption I went ahead and put some string around the top nodes(that weren't completely dead and flimsy) and pulled it on over to keep the nasty from hogging up all the light.
Anyways I guess what I am getting at here is..
Any advice?
Have I made the right moves from here?
And looking at the last picture. Or any of them really, what is your personal take on this?
