Looks great, I'm at week 5 today also and your's are just a little skinner, I am using twice as much light as you though, but just as you know, they look great
Have you been hacking the fan leaves though?

NEVER remove fan leaves unless you absolutely have to! They provide a valuable energy source to the plants. Always tuck them out of the way of buds when you can, or if you need to just remove a small portion of the leaf

Yep, thats why I asked, I'm sure you would have had more growth in your buds had you left them. I usually scrap them wk7 to stress my girl and also allow more light for the final 3 weeks

you need to hit the plants with a pk spike at the stage your at i use big bud from advanced for 1 week along with my base nutes at week two of flowering.
then pk 13/14 at week 5 have you any grow shops near you,if you have tell them you want a pk spike or high phos,pattas feed just for a week then add it to your base nutes then back to base nutes after 5/7 days
Bump the ec up too,im not saying they look bad because they look on track doing well.
but get the most from em ya can leave em 9 week its the last 2 week when they will swell.
I'm not 100 % sure if the bud power is doing the same job has big bud whats it say on the tub the numbers eg 0-4-6

I was getting good results way clf bulbs In vegg. 2 of my plants got to 3 ft in 8 weeks I just changed my lights when my girls when into flowering
yes cfl are very good for the veg, im finding the cfl for flowering is not too bad just the yield is not as good as hps but considering the cost effectiveness off them is much better and easy to control the heat of the room. oh i can believe you the growth rate on mine is mind blowing
