You should have topped it a long time ago as well. For one plant in flower I wan at least 100 watts per plant and that is on the light side. The more light the better.

It also looks like you have plenty of room to add 3-4 or even more cfls in your area, I am running 6 total right now, 2 are the 23 w the others are the 18w i believe i can't remember at the moment lol, Im using the 6500k spectrum for about another week then the flowering will begin. Also since you are using cfls, you can pretty much put those lights within inches of your lady, she will love you for it. I read in a post a while ago that if your not burning your fans occasionally, your cfls aren't close enough lol. Here is a link to my updates ive been posting to show you more of what im talking about.

since im gonna add more anyway should i go with the tubes? or just regular bulbs. im at 5 total right now i think im gonna add about 4 more. also im using black out curtains as my door. is that gonna be enough air flow w/ my lil pc fan, or should i add more fans aswell. n my space is 2ft deep x 4ft across and 4ft (can ajust to about 7ft) tall.

Thanks for the rep thc, I could type in everything i know right here but alas that would be wasted space lol, Do some reading throughout these forums, picture gandering etc, I have never grown a thing in my life till these plants and im where im at by reading peoples failures on top of their successes, There is a TON of info on here just gotta put some leg work into it, pretty plants come with tons of work as i am learning now lol. and a quote from somewhere on here (i can't remember exactly what post) but if your not burning a leaf or two with cfls, they are not close enough. ill post this weeks pics sometime tonight or tomorrow on my journal. keep up the good work though, your on the right track just some tweaking still to do lol, it will become never ending if you want gorgeous girls :)
