if your having problems finding nutes for flowering i would go to any gardening section and look for products that you can relate the GH products to. just look online at their flowering products and the chemicals in them to get an idea of what is needed to help flower, once you understand that find other nutes that arent name brand at any local store that has a plant section, will be easy just by looking on the back of the bottle or package knowing whats in it and needed.

Provide more info on cabinet size.. or are you planing on changing grow spot? Then you can decide on what light you want... in Watts, get your ventilation all sorted and should be fine.. You could run a 400W with cooltube in a tight space if you really wanted, depending on money. I wouldn't bother going less then 400W personally... If I couldn't run more then 400W I would either grow outdoor or find a better spot/room. Unlucky for you, you don't live near hydro shops, they sell 2nd hand equipment in most and cheap.

What kind of CFL bulbs are you using? I'm having problems with just 1 bulb. I'm keeping my bulb 3-4 inches away from plant and they are burning the plant. Any advice!

Edit: sorry I just reread how close your lights are well if I get mine that close I have fans that blow on my cfl kinda like a cooling fan for my bulbs

This is what I would do if I were you right now. Tie each branch down to the pot. They don't have be bent a lot, just slightly will the the job done. You will promote branching as you go into flowering. The plant should triple in size as it goes through flowering, but you can manage that by tying it down to the pot. Looks like it could use a little more nitrogen. I'd take care of that as soon as possible, as you don't want to be giving it a lot of nitrogen during flowering. That is the time when you want the plant to use the nutrients it already has stored up.
Looks good though. Very healthy. As they aways say, better under fed than over fed. Much better.
