8 weeks old - need feedback on how they are going, pics ,

You're barely going to have enough for yourself if you want to continue as you have. You NEED more lights in there if you want better and more buds.

I find great deals on packs of higher wattage CFL's online all the time, I recommend getting something like that because you can use the ones you want and then have extra for when one burns out/breaks
Here's the site I used: http://www.1000bulbs.com/2-to-200-Watt-Compact-Fluorescent-Screw-In-Light-Bulbs/

I mean I guess you will barely have like an 1/8 off of your plant if you continue growing it with that light set up

IMO you will greatly benefit from adding more lights to your set up.

I would say minimum 200 watts used per plant.

I dont think its worth the risk of what would happen if you got caught to continue playing, you should get serious man, how can you not want to constantly improve your setup? lol, after my first grow thats how i felt. you could do so much better my friend........

oh god i want to improve my setup
i dont have the cash to buy a HPS or MH etc or for many more cfl's by the time this grow has finished and i make a small profit back from money spent on lights etc i should be able to get a heap more cfl's im aiming for 200w next grow and will be Lst a plant in the same space

sound good, but make a profit? Sorry, but i dont see that happening, no offense, its just the truth and I dont think counting on it is gonna help you upgrade and then finding out it really isnt would be a sort of buzzkill or downer or whatever when you realize it later. another $20-30 in cfls will make a big diffrence, but not so much these plants,they've suffered from stretching and weak lighting so i dont see them getting that much from them so i understand your not wanting to do anything till next grow, but why not start next grow now? by the time the ones u have now are done flowering they will be nice and big and ready to flower. have u considered a seperate clone/veg box yet? perpetual grows are awesome, nice pretty much so evenly spaced harvests, its really easy too. lol. heres how i'd do it in your situation. 1.get your veg area set up, keep the lights close enough so they dont stretch. early on you wont need quite as much light so till they get a lil bigger keep the extra lighting in the flowering area, just dont let them outgrow the lighting. when you toss the *new plants* into veg however take almost all the lighting w/them into the flowering area.
2. when the plants in flower are about 2 weeks from being done go ahead and cut 3-4 clones(till u master cloning, then 2 is alright, the extras are in case you kill some of them. lol.) from your female veg plants. just let them chill and root w/their mothers for now.
3. when your flower are done go and switch your mothers to flowering and position the by then rooted and totally ready to grow clones where they get as much light as possible.
4. repeat the cycle.
After a few harvest youll be able to upgrade the flowering area to a 400w hps or so and then when you get that far you can devote all the cfls to your veg box.

To say that the plant's have been grow under cfl's there looking ok.But i would say that the next set that you do get the light's has low to the top of the plant dureing all part's of growing be it veg/flowering.I have just done a thread on see more bud's on this page saying that it was them word's that impacted my growing the most may be it could your watch it dude.By haveing the light's that much closer it will make the internode's tighter giveing you dence hard buds not fluffy weightless one's...........................................tyke......................

Nice looking plants. I would fill those pots with soil up to the brim next time around. The more soil the better.
