Purple leaves during first leaves.

That's correct. Gently moving the stalk around throughout the day will fatten up the stalk as well. Probably not as effective as a fan but it does work nonetheless. Great idea!
 
Yeah, definitely want one of those (surge strip) for sure. A small fan would be a good investment. Even if you could get a small battery powered one and only turn it on an hour at a time throughout the day, it would help.

taken today i kind of coiled and buried the stalk today to make it smaller if that is going to hurt it let me know and ill put it back but i was gentle with the stem to coil it then i buried it and, as can be seen in the pic, am supporting it on one side. I should only have to be supporting it for a few days but it was way too tall

I would let it get some more growth on it before doing any cutting just to make sure it is okay. It looks like you have new growth sites under the main leaves so that is great news! Keep up the good work!

Looking better. I think may you need more light if you want it to grow bigger. Cannabis needs quite a bit of light to grow properly. Maybe double or quadruple what you are using might help it go quicker.
 
That's what I am saying. That is a very low amount of lumens. The typical 600W HPS grow light puts out about 95,000 lumens and cannabis needs anywhere from 15,000 and 85,000 to grow properly. You having only 2710 is only about a fifth of what you need at minimum. The plants will still grow at 2710 lumens but they will likely grow very slow, and not produce hardly anything.
 
i doubled the light put it another bulb i need one of those splitter attachments so i can put 2 bulbs in one fixture

If the splitter is only rated for a maximum amount of watts it will state it somewhere on the splitter itself. The CFL bulbs draw a low amount of wattage so you probably don't have to worry about it.
 
its coming along very nicely i got the splitters and bulbs today so i have four 150 w bulbs on them now and growth is crazy i will take a pic of set up and plant in the morning but im very happy with how its coming along thanks to some good advice lol
