Lights are wayyyy to far away, with good ventilation, you can have them 2-5 inches away, as close as possible without burning. Also, more light for all of those plants.

were goin for a sea of green style grow bottom section is the for new clones and 4 mothers the light for that is a 125w CLF blue,
on the top section is the flowering part, the bigger plants hav had 2 weeks longer than the smaller ones hence the size difference the lights for the top section are 2 125 w sun glow cfl's with a home made shade lol

you got 173 wat ? lights on 1 plant or wattage ?lol and i think 2 have 1 plant inthere wud be a waste of space all im tryin 2 do is maximise the space we've got. we did have 4 plants in there2 start off with but they over grew the wardrobe very quickly, me and me mate have changed the set up around 4 times now to try and get the best effect with the space we got lol it has been a nightmare but the way it is now after some advice off a chap who's been growing for 25yrs seems to be workin and easy 2 mantain and if all works out a regular suply WOO HOO lol

the bottom section of the setup is for clones and to be fair we hav had 100% succuss with all clones done but wat wattage u thinkin 2 add to the top section dont forget space is issue i thought with 250 watt of light that wud make a suitable crop do u not think ?
what's the k rating on the top CFL? and I would have the moms and clones at the bottom and do a SOG grow for the flowering part
1 - I would add a nother one to the flowering area and have it so the CFLs are going the other way then what they are to they cover more plants better
2 - thoes lights for the flowering area are to high. The plants are streching to the lights
3 - adding a nother light and changing them so that they are going the other way lets you do kinda a cycle kind of harvest so 1 light has a fresh batch of clones, the next light has plants that are half way done or w/e to harvest and the last light is the one where they are in the last part of time before harvesting and by the looks of it if you did it that way and if you had a nother row of 3 you could get a harvest about every 2 to 3 weeks depending if the strain is a 8 weeker
