Do
Do you feel as if you have gotten 600 watts worth of growth from those bulbs? By the looks of it, I don't think so. I would try to keep your canopies as flush as possible and place both bulbs above your plants, within 2-3" of the plants. Then place some 2700k's on splitters on the 4 sides of your plants. I don't think that inverted bulb is doing you much of good. Good luck man

I can understand that, but your tops aren't going to do much with that one bulb up top. If you move if back up top and put some side lighting, you should be in good shape. Just suggestions though bro.

Yeah, if you're creative enough you can grow quality buds with CFL, but performance wise they're just not good enough if you plan on doing anything remotely large scale. Did this with 152 watts in 2.5 square feet. Still a week or two away from finishing.

Sure bro. I don't know what part of the world you're from, but if you make it to a home improvement type of store you'll find everything you'll need. If not, you can always order equip from Amazon. For my current grow I use an old floor lamp with a 2 bulb hood that I made. I'm sure you're capable of throwing together some stuff to make your side lighting work too. Put 2 more gull wings in there and you should be good! Lol

This is one of the buds that iv put bk in to see if they get any better

Damn man, I don't think that bud was anywhere near finished! Maybe it's just the picture, but it looks pretty premature to me. And you can't just put buds back in the grow room, after you clip them, and expect them to grow, or do anything other than dry out in there. Let your buds finish! Lol.
