Default 3 CFLs... Flowering Arrangements

Sup guys. I am currently in my 8th day of flowering my female and i just got her some new lights as well as some nutes. my plant is about 3 ft tall so far and is nice and green and im starting to see some nice bud sites forming! I currently have 2 23w warm white cfls hanging directly above the plant. I also have a 23w daylight cfl pointed toward the side about 2/3 up the plant to get more of the entire spectrum.

My question is, do you think this is a good setup or should i:

a) switch the daylight cfl with one of the warm white cfls hanging above
b)switch the daylight cfl with another 15w warm white cfl
c)any other configuration u can think of
d)i done good

thanks for any info, this is my first time growing and im trying to get some dank buds using only cfls.

Right now you should concentrate on getting more light on the plant. 3 feet, I would say another 4-23w around the plant minimum. 2700k preferably but, daylight will work. For dank bud, light intensity is KEY.

Good luck.

Wrong, that's backwards. Daylight is for veg and Soft White is for flowering. Dude you need WAY more light than that. Don't make the same mistake I made. I used 2 42w CFLs and 6 26w CFLs for my AK47 and it just isn't enough light. I'm on the home stretch (2 weeks left) and I'm really worried that she's not going to even come close to her potential. If I had to do it again, I would not have used anything lower than 42w. I would have used at least 6-8 42w 2700K CFLs.
