That actually doesn't look too bad for cfl lighting. I hope that pic is towards the very end of the grow though, because if you've still got a few weeks left to go, those plants have been a bit undernourished.

Maybe I need to change my feed I give them. The stuff I'm useing is only from the one pound shop in town maybe that cud be the problem. Two plants and lsd and one is a dwarf and one is the same as my super cheese and I have to say that one ain't that bad but had to put it bk in as only the tops was ready there's a lot still with wite hairs as they say

Yup, basically not enough light close enough etc, binning the CFL`s and grabbing a cheap HPS is probably the easiest/cheapest option for you atm since you have the tent n stuff already, either that or use 1 bulb over each plant in a SCROG n get bulb as close as possible without burning em etc

It would be enough light if you kept your plants shorter, better pruned as R1 suggest so you could keep the light much closer. Once you start getting taller plant growth and you have to start backing that light off more and more, you just don't have the power to get the same results.
