Yeah thats good lighting, just keep the light about 3-5 inches away from the sprout, you don't want a long stem. Also, can you give me some more details on your grow set-up?

Honesty,i have no grow setup lol im considering a grow tent but for now they are just gonna sit on my dresser and i have a rigged tent i made out of bubble wrap until i make a choice on what im gonna do lol im very indecisive! But i have a nice size closet and the attic is right above it so that is most likely where my odor is gonna be directed.But i was worried bout them just sprouting and that size light tho i know u can never have to much light.but i dont want a long stem!

KEEP the light close then, also.. thats not good my friend, I would suggest going and buying some timber and reading up on a DIY stealth grow build, or something fun.. I LOVE BUILDING things, so if your anything like me.. You will enjoy growing. Also if you don't have a ceiling fan, you need to get one or something a little smaller for you plants... They will die if they don't have something rein-acting the natures wind :D

And with cfls..because they dont give off much heat,is the basic concept the more light the better?

I just skimmed through your first grow, AMAZING! If you don't mind me asking, what strain was it? It looks like an indica strain..
thanks buddy, i appreciate the kind words greatly!
it's ICE from nirvana. its a hybrid 50/50 split. Does a pretty big yield from what i gather
so stay tuned and you'll find out with me. :)

more lumens etc the better. keep em close as what has been said. if you put your hand
right above your plant(s) and feel no heat your in the clear. (for the closeness of the light)

Yes i know,VERY little light and my light is about 2 or 3 inches away but i would probably raise just a bit once i add more lighting in the next couple weeks....

just keep your lights, (cfl) 3 inches from the top of your plants.
raise it as they grow. keeps their stretch to a minimum and keeps em bushy.
kinda like mine. :)
