I'm growing under CFL also, I'd say that looks kosher for now. but like gonfire18 said, you'll need some side lighting once they start to get a bit taller. probably another 2 or 4 23w if you can fit em.

Mixed spectrum is fine. But I run 6500k veg, 2500k flower only. I honestly think you don't need any side lights. Just do some LST and you can keep the lights on top. Its working for me. But your deff!! going to need more lights. I would say you have almost enough light for 1 plant. I run 4 -42w cfls per plant. I could see a growth difference from 3 23w cfls compared to the 4- 42w cfls............................Make a grow journal, I would like to watch your autoflowers grow up.

The girls look stellar!! Lights are about right, maybe a bit high but the plants tell all. I gotta agree with adultswiivi here, either LST or SOG is the way to go with floros & CFLs

Plants look good. That slight leaf curl could be from watering. Soil looks wet in pics. Do you keep it wet, or did you just water before taking that pic? But it doesn't look like anything to worry about.
