I've got a little organic soil grow in my cupboard under cfl @ 12/12 for 4 weeks now and just started seeing pistils but they seem to be flowering pretty slowly.
I'm using canna bio flores and bio boost. the feed has an npk of 2-2.5-5 and the boost doesn't tell an npk. do I need to get some more p in there? what's a nice organic way to do that?

Whats kind of soil are you growing in?

You can mix the high P bat guano directly in with your other products to make a nice mixture. Those P numbers that you currently have (2.5-5-5) are just a little too low for vigorously flowering cannabis plants. But remember to start off with a low dose at first. Then start to really heavily feed (full dose) at around 4 weeks into flower.

How many plants and how many CFL's? Could simply be not enough lights. They are effective, and I've used them myself. Though your describing the reason I upgraded to HID lighting

yea i would probably say your nutes are fine its the light. I would get 1 or 2 more cfls and see what happens. I bet it will speed up.

I have one 125 watt cfl, 2700k I can only guess the lumens as it wasn't marked anywhere on the lamp or packaging but i'd guestimate it about 6500 lumens and two 23 watt 2700k putting out 1250lumens each. I just popped in a lil 18 watt 5600k as was reccomended by another member.
I have 3 plants growing in a tiny cupboard it's less than a square meter.
I think I'll try adding two more low watt cfl's or maybe one more big one. and the bat guano and see how that works.

id skip the lil cfl and add two more big ones.add two 55's or even two more 105's for a total of 3 one above each plant,you can never have too many cfl's.if it gets too hot in there,just cut a hole or three in the top of the cupbord with a big hole saw.
