First indoor grow

Hello everyone. First time posting. Im new to indoor growing but im doing ok so far (i think anyway). Started some seeds outside really late so i decided to build a couple rooms. One room is 36"x36"x6' and the other is for 1 plant to flower and its 22"x22"x46". I brought in 3 plants they were doing great til both my 48" t5 broke pretty much in the same day. So i went with a power compact from my fish take for like 10 days til my (2) new cheap ebay 45w 225 led lights came sept 28. I know they are not 45w prob but they sure work pretty dam good. My plants went from just about dead to flower stage in what like 3 weeks. I also have 3 seed plants which are 20 days now and a northern light clone i got from a buddy and the clone is kicking ass and so are the seeds (they were female i was told and i trust this guy). So my bigger room has the 2-45w led and a round 27w led and the flower room has 6-23w(100w they say) cfl and 2-28w t5. Now thats like 9600 lumens from cfl and 5600 lumens from the 2-t5. Am i on the right track doing this ? I know my veg room needs more light which i will be getting soon. Temps are perfect. Using floranova for food. Lights are 18-4 and 12-12. Also i cut 11 clones before i added to flower room. They are in dome under 21w t5. Used them little square things with the hole in the middle and clone x gel. Using foxfarm ocean for all seed and clones i already had. Adding a few pics. Any input would be great.image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg

Hi how are you? Looks like you are right on track there, looking good. I cant see the condition of the ones under the colored lights but all looks in order, nice and tidy, when the lights go out get a shot of the one without color so we can see if theres any issues but otherwise Lets Grow!

Thank you.im so into doing this. They are they same plant and the other is the clone. I trimmed some of the fan leafs off. Dont know if thats good or not. Its 50/50 on the forums. I did it before i even read about it. I thought maybe all the top buds will get more light and more food.

My biggest piece of advise is to spread those cfls out way better, CFL light is most effective 3-6 inches away from a plant, with how tall that one is you need to supplement al lathe lower growth with cfls close to them otherwise your getting very little light down there. Cfls work best with horizontal growing rather than vertical.

Thanks. Should i leave 3 on top and hang the other 3 on the sides ?

Came home to this yesterday. I way way way overfed this plant cause i read the directions wrong. I added a 1tsp of floranova grow when it was 2 ml i should have added. I flushed this flant with 3 gal of ph water. I hope it works. But i guess this will happen on a first grow. Live and learn. By the time i watered the other plants it was i watered down alot more.im so pissed at myself for not catching it right away. I hope i did the right thing by flushing ??The plant has been on 12/12 light for 3 days.
