Are my plants too small????

That is the question. This is my second grow and i feel like my plants are growing entirely to slowly. They all are about 5'' tall. They have been vegging 25. Heres the set up.
8 plants
8 CFL 26W 6500K. (= TO 100 WATT). 2 On the sides and 6 above the plants.
gallon size pots.
Fox farms Ocean Forest soil since day one.
lights are about six inches from tops of plants.
water every 2-3 days.
stays about 78 degrees.
distilled water.
Any info would be appreciated,
Thanks!

hey. It's kinda small, but it's not you it's the CFLs. move them to about 1 1/2 to 2 inches from the plants. don't worry about the heat just line your fan up so it hits the bulbs and the plant both. you growing regs or autos? general rule is of thumb is 100 watts (actual, not equiv) for the first plant and +50 for each additional.

cfls have a lower penetration value than other types of lights and they drop off in effectiveness dramatically at around 10 inches.

I just switched to a cfl/led combo from just cfl and I use 6x 26w CFLs per plant + the leds myself and mine are on the smaller side as well. Your other conditions sound fine, I'd move the lights close as possible and roll with it.

With the 8 lights at 208 watts total, you should technically be running 3 plants. Whats your setup like? you can get splitters at home depot for 2 bucks that turn one socket into 2, 3 of those on a clamp light will hold 4 26w for ya.
