first timer indoor 40 days into flower

hey guys

well its day 40 of flowering and i think my ladies are looking pretty good but i have never grown before so i really have nothing to compare to. vegged for 1 month under 6 x 85 watt 6500k and flowering under 6x 85 watt 3000k. growing 2 x northern lights 2x lasqueti haze and 4x utopia haze, i know which the utopia haze are but i kinda got the 2 northern and 2 lasqueti mixed up so im not sure which ones those are. Northern says 45-50 days flowering and the other 2 are like 9-10 weeks supposedly. growing in miracle grow potting soil am running about 1000ppm of fox farm tiger bloom and some big bloom watering every 3 to 4 days as needed .

Im really interested in your opinions how long you think i have left and how much i might get, i threw in a 5 dollar bill in a pic for size comparision, thx look forward to hearing some comments, sorry about the pics i keep tryign to get in closer but the pics just come out blurry

L00ks good man. Nice first grow! seems lush for 8 plants under 6 cfl's!

Very nice man, way to grow! i can't really see 8 plants, but from what I can see I'll guestimate around 1/2 lb. I got 7.5 oz from 6 plants my 1st grow. About the same sized plants as yours.
I have a question for you. Did you switch from the 6500K bulbs to the 3000K or did you ADD the 3000K to the 6500k for flowering. because it would be a shame if you only used 6 red spectrum bulbs when you could have been using 6 red AND 6 FULL spectrum bulbs. Choosing red or blue spectrum is for the HID guys. MH= blue, HPS=red. They have to choose one or the other, so its best to use blue for vegg and red for flower. But in reality full spectrum is better for veg AND flower. Using CFL's you dont have to choose one or the other, you can use BOTH, which is far superior to one or the other. 6500K cfl is full spectrum (or close to it) and i think probably would have been better than 3000K. I see to many CFL growers making this mistake.
Am I making any sense this morning?

YEah... Someone could probably tell you. Indicas tend to be shorter and bushier. Sativas are taller and skinnier... Im pretty sure thats right. (i hope i didnt switch them.)

those look GOOD. Ive got 4 goin now my first grow too. 4 are a little easier to keep track of/.
