CFL Set Up

looks like a pretty crazy setup for cfl's, but hey if your plants like it than thats chill, you might need to add more when they start to fill out to get light to the lower branches.

First off sorry for the shity example i tried to do real fast for you. I would get rid of the round reflectors above the light and put one on each side kinda like the ones that i rough sketched onto your picture. That will get the most out of the available lumens per bulb. Shortest path for the light to travel and you can focus the light where it needs to be by changing the angles of the reflectors on the side. Sorry i am really high so i might be a little confusing.

I have almost the same sit up except I hve two fixtures that have 6 lamps each for the same total as yours.

I have both mixed lights so I dont have to change over when flowering. So far I have harvested one nice plant that was a clone ( which is curing as I type) and I have two others that are near to harvest. I put reflectors just like the ones that were drawn on the pic. I get plenty of light . Since I have a small area this was the best I could do.
