first time grow have questions and pics

Hey everybody, I have 5 females, in soil under 4 T8 fluorescents, that have been flowering for 4 weeks now. Each plant is about 3' tall and 1' wide. I was wondering if I have enough light for flowering, and about how much they should yield. Any info would be appreciated.

to me it looks like you don't have enough light because your plants do not have dense vegetative growth. i would try and add another couple fluoros to help out

Yeah you need MORE light. Get some spiral CFL's. Make sure they are 2700k. (most are) Flouro tubes can work well for veg, but won't flower for crap. Seriously. And make sure you keep the lights as close as possible. Every millimeter counts with flourescent lighting.
With the lights you have you are not going to yeild much at all.
but with those plants you have the potential to yield over an oz. per plant. But you need some more lights to acheive that. Good Luck.

ok cool. I have a bunch of cfl's so ill wire up more lights. Thanks

Alright I added 5 23w CFL's and one 42w. I also put a small fan on them, will that help with the thin spindally branches in the same way it help make strong stems?

Thanks for all the help you guys are more reliable than the verizon network....

Put whatever bulb has the most lumens right on top of the plant. Keep all the lights as close as possible (2 inches or less). Reflect as much light as you can back at the plant. After weeks of growth this tiny amount of extra light really adds up. Peace...

hey hunny! I love you!
