Hey man, plants are looking healthy. A few tips tho, if I may. Biggest thing with CFLs is that you need to keep them as close as possible. I keep my bulbs 1-2 inches away at all times. Also, you get the most light from the sides of the bulb, not the top...so keeping them horizontal and close to the plant is best! If I were you I would add more lights and cover the lights to keep it all reflected toward the plants (paper plates to aluminum turkey trays are ghetto, but are better than wasting that light upward)! I wouldnt worry to much about the little brown specs on some leaves...but if it gets worse I would look into it! Finally, I like to have white pots (I spray painted mine) vs. black which absorbs light...white will reflect and help you out with a lower wattage grow, while you are at it you could also lay down white paper over the brown wood floor (or upgrade to cheap mylar)...that is all, PEACE!

Looking good but as dude said, i'd get those lights alot closer and add splitters in most, if not all, of those fixtures. Picture 9 Looks like a zinc deficiency. Pic 3 looks like a potassium def. since there is still a deeper green toward the base of the leaves...

I did say that I would be adding more light. Lol but I had them spread apart because I took the pics after just putting them back in. I hadn't rearranged them yet. I did use a diluted liquid plant food and then the issues started appearing. I am broke till Friday. I will get proper nutes then. As far as a reflector... I will be getting something to suffice. Until I upgrade to a 600 watt HPS/MH. Thanks for the advice guys! Any more input?
