    Best CFL Manufacturer

    Well i am not sure on brand, but why are you looking at 4100k CFL's. They are almost useless to plants. 6500k and 2700k are the best numbers to look at.

    Adding more light for flowering?

    I think you have the right idea, just add the two new bulbs and everything will be fine as long as the ventilation is good enough.

    Best places to buy cfl's

    Walmart here in canada just got in some 150-200 watt normal receptacle bulbs in both 6500k and 2700k. They are up for $10 - $18. Would almost be worth it to buy them up and sell them out.

    Aluminium Foil and CFL's

    Yes you can use most car window reflectors (to keep the sun from heating up your car) as most are made of mylar. However Flat white paint is the most durable. @RyanTheRhino - I would love to try one of those as a reflector for sure.

    Aluminium Foil and CFL's

    Tin Foil is also electrically conductive so if your not using the proper capping on all of your wires than you can hurt yourself like i did at first. 2 open wires + 1 bare foot on the tinfoil = Quite a jolt.

    First-timer grow cheap start

    I use an old computer power supply. But for you any 12 volt DC old charger will work well. I used an old linksys router power supply at my start. Try the second hand stores in your area or even the dollar store.

    Help: When to change lights

    You need 2700k for flowering, 6500k for veg. it can be others but get as close as possible, and nothing between 4000 - 5000 IMO. And to change them out it doesn't matter much for the short amount of time you will be changing. I would just add a few large cfls to the sides if you can. Tubes are...

    First grow evar! Skunk #1 in soil under CFL (Organic)

    Soil is too wet from what i see, the yellowing could be over watering as well. If your roots are in a mud pit, its too wet. About once every 1 - 1 1/2 weeks in my experience is fine until they grow at least 3 point leaves.

    Ahh lst. I would get them as close to the bulbs as possible without burning the leaves. Just add some books to the bottom and take them away when it gets too close.

    Show me your CFL Grows!!!

    Is that 4 plants in 1 bucket? If so you will have a hell of a time splitting them up if you want to in the future. That bucket doesn't look big enough for 4 to grow to maturity. They will also be fighting for nutrients and water.
