cfl closert grow update

My first grow posted a few months back when i was getting started and got a lot of help. My girls are just over a week in 12/12 and have both shown sex but that have grown much or as rapidly as I read they should. It only two plants and i topped them both. They sit under 4 100w lights. Should i add more? Also going to try and add some molasses to my water.. Any other suggestions would help.

Looks like it's really starting to stretch, would be nice if you could get some side lighting in there. Though it looks like you do not have much space.

You dont need to add molasses to you water! With CFL you can always use more lights in flower. Notice how that lower growth is not getting light.....you might want to trim some of that away. You need to have some air movement, do you have fan in there? Your plants will not grow as rapidly due to conditions, small space, low light etc. Try to use the kiss method (keep it simple) and don't get crazy with your feeding, trying to add stuff like bloom boosters and molasses. Just keep her green and healthy, see how the plants grow in your space, take notes and make improvements next time around. Good luck!

Nothing wrong with a little molasses, just make sure you don't go overboard, and make sure that you use unsulphured blackstrap. ^^^ Are right, some side lighting would do you wonders, and a fan is a must especially in a fully enclosed space. Other than that, they look good and healthy, I would suggest patience, don't freak out or try to force anything, things take time. My first grow just started flowering and it took her almost 2 weeks to get to a stage that the buds are unmistakable, the first week after 12/12 was mostly stretch, and she had already shown sex before the flip. Your girls look pretty man, you been doin' some good work just keep it up!
