Is my plant stretching???

[hetfield_08]

Does this plant look like it's stretching? And if so... what should i do?

I'm using one of those $20 150 watt hps lights and it's about 12 inches from the top of the plant. Thanks for any help.

You cant get it closer than that?
Do you have mylar or white walls?
How big is the grow area?

I can get it closer, yes, i was just kinda worried about burning it.
No i don't have any mylar or any reflective material on the walls. it's a pretty ghetto setup right now lol
And the area is about 1' wide x 1' deep x 3' high

Get is as close as you can without to much heat on the back of your hand.

Try to enclose your grow area with reflective material.

Your plant looks a little lanky but do what you can now before you flower it and it will do ok.

great advice growdude!

well all sounds good except before flowering, i just started flowering 3 days ago. will it hurt anything?

Hello Het

It will hurt nothing.

The refective material has now become imperative because you have put the plant into flower.

You could quite easily carry on without the reflective material till harvest, but if you use reflective material, you will have double the harvest than without reflective material :aok:
