...then put more light? there are really no signs u wanna have like 3000 lumens per sq foot for decent growth so buy some cfls(compact fluorescents)

Stretching is the most common sign of inadequate lighting.

My advice would be to scrap the flouros and skip the CFL’s and buy a MH and an HPS (or an HPS with a MH conversion bulb) and do it right.
