It is still early to expect odor. The buds are kind of airy yet for a Kush. You need to increase the light on her. Depending on the specific strain odor may be low the entire grow.
My setup now i put 2 80w white cfls and 2 yellow cfls 40w but the thing is i read that flowering plants like more red spectrum than white but in my case i have more white, is that okay?

That thing will never finish properly without any real light
CFLs are shit for flowering.

im in a low budget so can you tell me if there are any good lights i can use?
You can get semi decent yeild on cfls...just need a lot more a D really good placement...if your on a budget (like I swas) get a decent cheap t5 from ebay...I bought one for $50 bucks and the brand has really good reviews actually (on the Internet, not ebay reviews) pretty decent wattage to high output of lumens, keeps the nodes nice and tight.......trust me hid bulbs are way way better, but goto the indoor section here and then go to the cfl subforum and tell me there isn't people that pull decent flowers...still nothing to mh/hps Im not saying that
^ and then a bought a 9 pack of 42 watts cfls, suckas are huge so altogether I'm around 470w after this harvest I will be getting my hps but, deff won't forget my t5,cfl's ....a lot a lot of people start out with them, so your on the right track and you can obviously grow it out so your getting loser and closer!
Thanks so much mate, tomorrow im going lights shopping its only one plant i wont need that much light so ill look for the t5's that you talked about and hope fully ill get a good yield, i would get dissapointed if i got a small yield since i went through alot of shit growing this plant, this is my 5th month in my growing period and im hoping for the best

Bro, go to home depot and get yourself two of the 2 liter size cfl. 2700 Kelvin. Since its only one plant, two large cfl hanging vertical should do you justice. Not my grow but see how big these cfl's are?

I have 2 massive white 80watt cfls and 2 40 watts yellow cfls 2700k for each, total 240watts i thought that this is actually fine since its only one plant in a small closet,
So is it good or not?

Ive bought 7 of those 250w cfl's made by apollo lighting and 4 had half the tubes burn out within first few days from literaly a single bug landing on them...uber super fragile. If u buy i strongly recomend u keep them protected and also vertical hang is never as effecient as horizontal mounted bulbs.
Looks like ur stems are stretchy and thin but sure they fill out ok. I guess u got 6-7 more wks

how big is your closet ...u might be ok with 250 if its one plant if u kinda close in the area so the light bounces around they say around 100- 150w per sq foot.
Stingy bud. Not sure that is gonna do very well

if you have about 60 or 70 mars hydro has their series 1 100x3 led light on ebay now. It's a full spectrum light and works really well in small spaces for a small amount of money. 170 true watts i think.
