long time reader, first time grower/poster. 4 weeks into veg, had each under 23 watt cfl's, then just built a hood containing 6 sockets with y splitters. the entire back row of lights are the 23w warm bulb. the front row have 4 13 watt blue spectrum light and also 2 23 watt bright white. all purchased from the depot. i think there awfully small for 4 weeks but this is my first time so please comment so i can have a sucessful harvest.

larger pots would be nice, im on my first grow too and i transplanted right about where you are. They adapted very quickly to new pots and grew very quickly with all the new room. Looks good and GL

bigger pots for sure and get the lights about 1-2inches away, I use a single 250watt cfl and it is 2inches away always.Good luck

for what it is worth. if it was me, at this point i would cram them into the CFLs. bury them. your seedlings looks great. get those lights close, surround them. 3" or so. keep a fan on them. re-pot soon. i went straight to a 5 gallon bucket when my plant was that established.
