Any1 know why my plant is pointing up so much,any advice would be appreciated as I'm New at this thanx

How far away are your lights?? Looks like it's reaching for light.....

[Newbe38]

About 5 inches away as I'm using a 300w cfl bulb

Cfl bulbs can technically be put as close to the plant as possible without touching it, recommended distance is 2 inches, any further and the plant will reach for the light, i use 7 40 watt cfls to start my seedlings (40 real watts, not equivalent) so that brings me to another question, are you using a 300 watt equivalent cfl bulb? like the box would say something like, uses only20 watts but matches a 300 watt incandescent. so if its a 300 watt cfl of real watts and not equivalent, you should just move it closer to the plant, if it is a 300w equivalent, get more cfls and move them closer, good luck.

I've measured it and its 9 inches away do you think I should move it closer?

Yup and ditto to what stevenics said
