hey man looking good, u need more light and way closer, the plant will stretch for light , as u can see, so more lights as close to the nugs as possible but not touching

Looks great and healthy but for denser nugs and higher yield you want more light. Either go HID or get more CFLs and move them closer, like 1-2" away. If you can keep the air cool enough in the area you can basically let the leaves grow into the bulb (or like 1/2" to it) before you move it.

well first thing u wanna do is construct something cheap to reflect the light down as much as possible...heres a 6 light cfl hood i use (and made) from a 99 cent turkey pan, some light sockets, hot glue and a chain...works excellent!...maybe one of these for the top like 4 inches away and since u have those little clip light things, station a few bulbs wherever the biggest nugs are that u want as much light as possible on... cfl bulbs lose intensity in a short distance and they have poor foliage penetration capability unlike HPS and MH bulbs...therefore u want as many as possible to be honest ...the sun gives off about 10,000 lumens of light at ground level on every leaf on a sunny day. those light put about 1300-2000 lumens per bulbs and they lose light right away,every single inch farther it gets it loses light output tremendously. so to match up to the sun u can imagine, what r we talking 50 or so bulbs per plant?...thats obviously way too much and unpractical but like i said, as much as possible

to run an HID light its the next step in growing, mess around with cfl for a first couple grows and research more, using hid is like the saying, more money more problems, but in this case its more light more problerms,lol...hid requires a ballast for the light, the heat it gives off is a true new battle your not ready to fight at this stage and then u need more advanced growing techniques,medium, nutrients and ventilatiuon and odor control...believe me...just get some personal smoke, mess around and get the hnag of it first...if u wanna see my plants in my stealth cabinet u can click on the grow signature at the bottom of my posts... im about 2-3 weeks from harvest myself...drop a few lines if u like.wow thanks alot i was thinking about that turkey pan too ... cool i will get right on that dont want to lose my plants

How many clf's r in there??Add 1 125w cfl per plant and ur good...When ur done with this grow and if u have 150 bucks bye a 250w hps if ur only doing a couple of plants, the heat aint that bad maybe 6-8 degrees above ambient..Make sure u have constant air flow 2 ...GL boss..
