This plant is bussin but all sudden got some droop, is it lack of light or overwatering? ![1624048362062114612836788359479](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/b/4/8/b48c79572e12f46bd48ef707986f22778e3ebc63.jpeg) ![1624048306387617379723213591047](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/9/2/f/92f63800575c975b102d22ea3cde2d9a92ac63a8.jpeg) ---

Very hard to tell under the blurple lighting. If you can get photos in natural light it really helps. Perhaps just use your flash. ---

Overall it looks like you are simply under powered on your lighting. The plant is stretching out and developing longer thinner stems to reach for more light and the stems cant hold up the leaves. Other than that it looks fine. Nice green color and no deficiencies showing. A couple spots where maybe some water was on a leaf while lights on but thats no big deal. What light are you using? ---

I started with a light just like that. Its actually only 100 watts or so. If you move your plant into the corner and place the light directly above and work it down over the next few days to about 12" above you will be able to finish. But you are going to need better lighting. Good news is this light will be fine for starting seedlings and growing smaller plant for the first two or 3 weeks. Just not good enough for producing much in the way of flower. Dont feel bad as most of us here did the same thing. Theres a whole thread on it somewhere. ---

Growing marijuana. I knew I needed a basic set up to get started. A tent, ventilation and lighting. After a few google searches I found plenty of review websites. After buying a tent and exhaust fan, I went looking for lighting. I found a great website that had detailed reviews and links to directly purchase the light off of Amazon. How convenient I thought. The reviews were amazing. I was only growing in … ---

Take your time…research and ask questions. How big is your tent and how much weed do you want to grow? ---

Do you have a budget? Lighting a tent that size could be expensive. But perhaps you only need to use half of it. After learning how to grow better I just harvested 14 ounces dry wt out of a 3x3 area with only 2 plants. Its just a matter of learning how. I learned it here. ---

4x8 tent would need 1200 to 1500 watts and that’s watts from the outlet ---

We have some light experts who may have good recommendations. Lets tag @dbrn32 for some help. I think lighting it in sections is what you should do. For 350 you should be able to get something to work. ---

350 would get light for maybe 9 square feet 3x3 you could partition you tent off ---
