I think your plants look pretty good. Don't conjure up problems

At 6 1/2 weeks growth slows considerably, so that probably is OK. Like AimAim said, all looks good from here.

You are growing how many plants under how many lights?

Looks kinda dark in there.

You can flower under CFL's make sure they are 3000k or in and around there, but don't expect the best, BTW the lady looks fine, I have seen way nastier grow some serious Dank.

Peace

Depends on your resources really. Try craigslist for a 600 HPS. Maybe add some 4' fluorescent shoplights for the sides of the plant.

250w HPS is fine but you will have heat, if it is an enclosed space make sure you can deal with heat build up. I like tents, and cooltubes, I likem alot.

250 is a good start dude, just keep your yield expectations down to earth with it.

A 400HPS would give you better results, but then it would create more heat and burn more electricity.

So maybe the 250 is best for you, it you are flowering in a small cupboard.

You will need some fans.

400s better for two plants but a 250 will do it as long as you flip em soon. You might not need a hot air removal system with just a 250 and those cfls, just an ocelating fan. Depends on if you have lots of room for them or theyre jammed into a tight box and if theyre inside or in a garage. Personally id go grow tent, 400, 4" inline with a carbon filter and all good quality.
