CFL Light Distance Error... Short and stocky

Hi everyone!.. so i made this growbox with a lot of CFL lights 6 X 65 watts (3900 lumens each) .. and i think this ladies that have 2 weeks old are short and stocky.. thats why because i had the lights too close of the plants.. like 2 or 3 inches..then i read the daily battle that is to have an accurate cfl distance.... this is my first grow , so this is another of my newbies errors...
I wanted it to keep it low.. (the height of my growbox is 1.24 mts).. but i think this is too short for a young plant..its too bushy.. i dont know if this is good for plants..

The next thing i did was to raise the lights and turn one cfl off...hoping the plants stretch i little..

Any advices? recommends?
Ill Appreciate any Help!!!!

Dude you are way over analyzing things. Everything looks great to me. Stretch is not good. There is no error here. With cfls you want them as close as you can get them without burning them. You might need some on the side once you have stretch. Your setup looks great for cfl. Keep doing what you're doing.

Thanks i think you are right!..i am freaking over analyzing...jeje
The thing is that ive spent a lot of money, this is my first grow and bought some seeds from attitude...
i just want it to do it the best way possible.
Thanks!

Dont trip, this looks fine to me. You just want to turn them into flower sooner rather than later considering that they stretch heavily (sativa more than indica) when introduced to flower. So you will need to anticipate the stretch that they will do when you go to 12/12. Looks good all in all.

I see a cat's face reflection in front of the fan...

Those babes are mostly sativa... its a Swiss-XT, Jack 33, Carnival Dream

Looks great nothing to worry about.

yeah man this all looks great to me. I wish I had such stocky plants in my CFL set up.
