Here are some pics of my CFL grow box.....

2-26w dalight bulbs
4-26w soft white (adding 2 more to room)

Fresh air intake on the veg side
Fresh air intake and exhaust on the flower side

The one in the veg is northern lights and the other im not sure....

looks like the plant in the far right pic needs water - either that or it may be too hot. i usually let them wilt a tiny bit before watering cus they like a good dry period, but if its heat stress you should get a fan in there quick. other pics look nice! looks like the wilting one is overgrowing the box, i would say top it but its flowering. since its getting so big, you might want to modify the box so the top gets light too.

Yeah i just watered it after the picture....i have an intake and exhaust fan on the flower side...it stays at 25c & 60% humidity.

Both of those plants are streched really bad.
If you wanna stick with CFL's, i would suggest getting a few more for each plant, and keep the light only about 4-6inches away from the top its whole life.
or you could just get better lights.

a few things
-put one more light on the vegging plant.
-clone in a plastic cup and keep another cup ontop with some vents as a dome.
-get that 50w hps flood light at home depot for flowering.

Yes I have to agree here. I would move them a bit closer and perhaps even top those other longer ones to get them to fill out more. They will be stunted for a little while but in the end you will have nicer bushy plants.

thxs guys for the advice...i added 2 more bulbs to the flower side and cut the top off the tall one....now im making a light shade to reflect the light down at the plants.

Dude you need more lights in the veg side, one or two isn't enough. But other than that they are looking good. Keep it up
