Help! Not enough light? First grow

I have 16 23w (actual) CFLS and 1 60w (actual) CFL on my plant. It's tall af but the buds aren't very big.
I didn't use any type of plant training until it was to late and I gave it up. My stems were to thick and wouldn't bend.
If this weren't enough lights, why would my plant get this tall!
This is only day 35 of flower.
Do I have hopes of getting a decent yield? If not is there anything I can do to save it??
Any advice or opinions are greatly appreciated!

hey man... it could be you just have a bad pheno... i started growing with CFL's and grew huge buds.. but i also had proven genetics and selected phenotype. i have a thread somewhere on here when i grew nebula under CFL's in a grow box

also is it 35 days from when you switched to 12/12 or is it 35 days of flowering?

Tie a string to the top and tie it over. Adjust daily. Bend it a little more each day until you get it horizontal.

I wouldn't worry too much. Your plants look healthier than mine.

My first run with a mystery bean is only 11cm tall. But I've also had quite a few issues with pH and over watering.

It's sitting under a tuneable 90w cob led. Just about to hit the 12-12 flip.

Don't worry too much. They stretch during flower. And that's usually when you find out if your plants are male, female. Or a lil of both.

it could be the pheno/strain grows scrappy...

also i dont know if you prune or trim but that goes a long way (try to even the canopy so the bus sites dont compete for light)

... ALSO it looks like its just starting yo flower... give her about 5-8 weeks and you will see a drastic difference

No. She looked healthier about a week ago. But I gave her a flush due to soil alkalinity. First run was pH neutral. Then the feed run was done with pH 6 water and bokashi nutes.

I've used the topping method. It's got about 4 main sites. And two smaller ones.
