Default First grow(need some advice)
This is my first grow and everything seems to be going well for now the setup I'm using is
4- plants just random bag seeds
2 - 26watt 6500k CFLs
2 - 26watt 2700k CFLs
1 - 80mm computer fan
1 - small closet

my main question is this enough lighting to grow 4 plants? I have been thinking about replacing the 2 2700k with 2 daylight bulbs and any other information or advice yall could give me would be great.

Dude get all 6500k's for veg growth the plants use that light spectrum during this growth period. Switch to the 2700k's in flower!! You definatly are gonna want some more light for 4 plants i'd get like 6 42 watters for the space and ventilation you have and go from there!! Hope this helps

And it looks like your doing good but make sure to stay on top of light placement with CFL's! Try to keep them 1-3 inches away and all times depending on your heat and ventilation. Do you know your temps of your room?

you dont want all 6500k or all 2700k, its best to have a mixture. during veg you want the majority 6500k with a minority of 2700k and the opposite during flowering. i think the number is around 20%

you dont need to transplant those kinds of pots. just put them in the dirt in your new pots. they will decompose and become part of the dirt.

i wouldnt worry about that yellow yet. its happened to me plenty of times. those leaves die anyway.

i have burnt some leaves on cfls. they got more of a crispy brown...
