Well, let me first say your plants look good. The only thing I would advise is you need more light, at least from the angles in the pictures. The internodes look like there’s some inches between them. But it could be the pics or some sort of Sativa. Get more light in there, I know Seemorebuds has a book out discussion CFL grows. He’s also a poster here, props to him! And you for nice looking plants the first go around!

Maybe it's the angle, looking again and they look nice!

well there is 6 full spectrum cfl's in there, the light looks different cause i'm using a nice camera and set it so it wouldn't be all whited out lol. it is actually just mid seeds i had laying around and i messed up the lighting position when i first started so they are a bit stretchy. thanks everyone i just got tired of dealing with d-bags so i took it upon myself to give it a shot and I think I've found my new hobby haha

sadly yes its aluminum foil i would go get some mylar or whatever the white stuff is called lol but im strapped for cash and using what i got at hand, but after research ive found that aluminum foil works well with cfl's because how the light is distributed and wont turn it into plant burning laser beams. On my next go around ill probably stick with the cfl's but get some mylar and actually set up a nice pro grow box and really getting into different types of soil and nutes.
