well with CFL you can always use more lights. but you look good for right now i would drop those lights down they can be with in 1in of the foliage. once they grow a bit you can throw some more in there around the middle section of the plant just keep hanging them so all portions of the plant are getting light top to bottom... looks great good luck man

its easy, just get about 2 gallons of PHed clean water and put ur plant over something it can drain into ( i use bath tub) and pour it all through the soil. and let it drain for a while. probly about 30 mins depending on how well ur soil holds water. and when its done dripping put it back under the light (may want to put a towel or a plate under it for a couple hours so it doesnt get ur grow box all wet) and dont water for bout 4 days till its ready to water again. i wus really worried bout overwatering the first time i did this. idk why but it doesnt get overwatered at all, the plants really love it. it cleans the soil and roots. you shud do this a couple times throught the grow once you start using nutes, expeacially at the end of flowering to get any nutes or chemicals out of your buds.

ok so i got some more CFL's today i got two daylight 5500K cfl's and two bright white 3500K cfl's i put the two new cfl's over my first plant LateGirl, and then set up the remaining lights over three new potential girls in a seperate space on 24 hour light. my LateGirl is under 18/6 right now. she has been very droopy the past few days so i gave her a good flushing tonight i'm hoping that will do the trick other wise i don't now how long she will be with me anymore......but i'm not jumping the gun on her yet she seems strong i'll post some pics tonight or tomarrow happy growing

Hey man Im just a newbie as well, but i found that my eldest plant got real droopy when it was stressing. I mean u got a pretty good pot there so im not sure it could have out grown the pot just yet. But just somethin to look in to. I mean i can see that u buried it about 4-5in in the soil right? Oh and u might also want to look into ur humidity.
