Look much better after the transplant. I concur with the nute advise as well. Your on your way to some good 'ol homegrown goodness!!

Move the lights literally as close as possible. like 2.5-3 inches away. CFL output diminishes quite quickly so you need to make the best use of the lights. Check them everyday and maintain a constant height from the top of the canopy. The bulbs don't get hot enough for you to worry about anything.

thanks guys.
ill keep posting more pictures of them as time goes by

and i just put in some nutes in them already.
they grow so much everyday dude.
its amazing.

btw.
i got 3 reggie plants there.
idk their sex yet. but how much does 1 plant usually yield with this setup?
and the white widows from ministry of cannabis? they are feminized

that depends... waiting a lil' more can get you a bigger yeld :) but if you start flowering now plants will stay a lil' more "compact" and close to one another and thus receive more light.

how many watts you have again? are you planning to LST them, and/or add more CFLs?

They are looking great now, congrats on saving them! I agree with the above posts about moving the lights. Those puppies can get as close as 2 inches (or less with a constant breeze) to the foliage without burning. What I normally do is keep moving them until I start to see a burn, then back off half an inch or so. A couple of very small burns won't affect the plant at all, and you will know you are getting all you can out of your CFLs.

i would say start flowering now bcuz of the amount of space u have. they are lookin alot better tho. u can move the lights a bit closer but dont burn them.

I think if you want to get the best yield out of those CFLs, give it another week, maybe two before flowering.

You don't have to, just what I think.

i want them a little bigger man :]
but i can only have 3 big plants at a time here. im a little short on space.
and idk what are the sex of the big ones.

and the cfls are 23 wats each (it says 23w = 100w) with 1,600 lumens per bulb. and they are 2700k
and there are 15 bulbs in there.
