Welcome to ILGM forum. You’re in the right place for help. As beardless has pointed out, you need to let pics finish uploading before you hit the reply button. Once you get pictures loaded some one can help.

What light are you purchasing. Your girls are stretching, due lights being to weak. Just for future pictures always try to take pics with Natural light or light from flash. The grow light makes it difficult to diagnose problems.

They have covered what I was going to say. I will add, next grow pay attention to the distance between nodes (where the leaf stem and growth tips emerge from the stem. You want them tighter than what you have on your plant now. The optimal distance depends on the strain and how you want it to grow. But overall, a shorter distance gives your plant a stronger base to build on. The distance is controlled to a large degree by light intensity and height above the plant.

Please understand that what I’m going to ask is coming from a Gromie wanting to help. Is this a financial decision, based on affordability. Could you afford to spend more, or is this the only thing you can afford now.

When I was in dire need of some more light I bought a king plus 600W light. It looks like a twin to the light you purchased. I still use it on occasion when I need more light because I have a bunch of clones or seedlings that need to veg longer. You will need more ratchets to hang the light. As is, with only one central point the light will want to spin or lean to the power cord side.
You will probably have spent the same amount on two lights had to purchased one HLG 135 or many others talked about on this forum.

Please re send ur pics but let them upload first before hitting the button

Is that ur best option for a light buddy is it due to finances in my honest opinion I would not get that light I made that mistake with similar but a different brand.where are u based as that may depend what lights y can afford due to shipping.

Qb 135 kit in r-spec would be great light for 2x2 canopy. If you want to go bigger and better from there I would check out chilled tech x3 mini.
