hey man checked your pics . Not bein critical but you need more cfls or you need to change what ever bulbs you got in your fluros. Imo them are way too spindly I use cfls and I get way closer vegatative growth than that.
Add cfls and lots of them.

And make sure they are really close to the bulbs. With floros, you need them to basically be right on the plant (well like 2 inches away.)

^this, and also I'm going out on a limb, and assume you do not have any air circulation? intake cool air (down low) exhaust hot air (up by the lights) plus a oscillating fan to keep the leaves fluttering, to keep away pests, and to strengthen the stems.

it seems like your not utilizing the room/space that you have, that would be a blessing if i had as much space as you do.

Heres the deal. In order to achive good buds with CFL you need alot of CLFs. You need ignore the = watts and focus on real watts. So example if you get a CFL and it says its 46 watts = too 100 watts you need to ignore the 100 watt number and focuse on the 46 watt #. That being said I am currently using 500 watts of CFL not = but real watts and 1 100 watt HPS. I like the 4x 48" you got is that T5 T8 or T12. Now you just need like 6-10 46watt bulbs on Y spliters. Also it seems your colors are somewere between 5000k and 6500k awesome for veg but you want 2700-3000k color lite for budding. Here are some pics of what I did.

I am 6 weeks into a 9-10 week flower of Super lemon haze I have also started using Tigerbloom 2 weeks ago and last week started Beasty Budds.

You got the idea here. More light of course. But at the very least, make sure you finish this run out. Whether you have enough light and will get a lot of bud is not the important thing here. What matters most is you getting the experience of your first grow. You'll learn a ton from this and it will only help on your future endeavors:)

no.red plastic won't work. and after you get more light, it looks like you're going to need more air circulation too. Instead of just pruning your plants along the bottom, next time try topping your plants instead

as long as the thread says "criticism welcomed," I'mma say stealing supplies for your grow is tarded, then untarded, then re-tarded again, then un-retarded, then doubletarded.
