    for your flowering nutes, the N is way too high, take a look at fox farm flowering nutrient line up to decide a better flowering nute, pull the lights off, they are too close. the plants are getting heat stressed. depending on temps, optimal is 3 inches, but when temps arehigh i go for around 6 inches

    if those are cfls which i think so lol they can be as close as you want unless they make contact with your plant ur good. cfls dont generate much heat at all

    lol they are, the only thing is my closet can hit like 90 degrees which sucks so i gotta leave my closet door open at night, my lights come on at 9pm. that keeps it about a good 80 degrees i got three 55 watt cfls.. 2700k and 4 26 watt cfl's... 2 of them are 2700k so its kind of a mixed spectrum. i just gotta make it through this grow then move outta this apartment to a house so i can get a decent setup going. i got herijuana seeds still i bought about 3 years ago. so im excited

    the bigger wattage ones get HOTT thus having to have the light out about 5 inches, you would get more coverage having the light out a little

    The 55s are pretty cool... I just learned the hard way duct tape isnt a good was to hang lights lol that plant has been burnt pretty viciously but im not giving up on it... Everyday the buds get denser and denser, im used to outdoor.. i dont have to tape the sun in place and i always come out with atleast 3 oz a plant... I think ill be lucky to get one oz.. the top bud though is like 2 bic lighters wide and one and a half tall and im only about 25 days into flowering is that good

    Do u have a fan in there, for MJ optimal growth temp is at around 75 degrees or there abouts, someone was tellin me when u start getting high heat like that it can lead to stretching. But other than the temp ur plants look good man. And also u could do some LST on ur next batch to help get more light penetration on ur plants and could help ur yield too.

    Yeah i got 2 fans both 6 inch i think they are clip on fans... The plant isnt really stretching.. the nodes are super tight... I did clone that girl though hopefully she puts out some dank and im not wasting time... What if i took all of my cfl's... 269 watts total and kinda make them into a tight row and did a vertical cfl grow

    How are you using your fans? Just circulating air? Or are you exhausting? You can keep your cfls close, 2-3inches at most. Get a fan to blow across your lights and one to exhaust. Make sure you're not blowing the shit out of your girls. Careful with nutes less is more. Good luck stay high.
