Is there enough light any tips are fine

They look beutiful amigo.. Try to keep humidity on the 45-50% range. how can you do that? well u can make the tent a bit hotter and increasy air flower.. But so far so good. Feed em silica twice a week that helps with the stress low/high temps.

- No there is of no more light at this point. as they grow they will. =)

Haha no idea are they to small for 3 weeks from seed???
Look fine to me. Nice and healthy.

Looks like plenty of light. Is that a CFL? I only use CFL at the very beginning of a grow but, have used the big ones before all the way through. Been years but I know they will work. The cab is nice and organized. All in all I think everything is fine. The only advice, don't over water or burn em up with too much nutes. Be patient. Also, if your going to add more light later, consider something different. Like a small HPS or LED. I would love to try a COB but haven't yet so....... My theory is using different types of light will give you more spectrums for the plant. Good luck.

Thanks growyourowndank, yeah there is 3 CFls 630 true watts of them, will I need more watts later on or would this be enough I've got the exact same bulbs in 2700k too, I didn't get a hps cause of ballast and extraction fans and so on

Can't really tell about the fan being too big. Do the branches blow around like its a hurricane in there on the low setting? Or do they dance? If they dance that's what I like to see. I think 4 nodes should be good to go. Check out the first couple of pages at the following thread. No reason to read all 200+. It's really simple. https://www.rollitup.org/t/uncle-bens-topping-technique-to-get-2-or-4-main-colas.151706/

I think that will work. That's a lot of watts. I understand about heat issues. Been there done that. But, I'll tell ya, those high watt CFLs put off quite a lot as well. If you can keep temps under control, the CFLs will grow you some serious dank. Maybe not the most effective, but they will do great. My CFL grow was one of the best producers I've ever had. About 300+ actual watts for one plant. So..... Anyway, I think you are doing fine.

There's 3 settings number 1 they move around slightly number 2 is like heavy wind, I usually have it on 1 and everywhere now and again on 2 to get fresh air on there

do you think led and CFls are a good combination I was thinking of buying one led in 2 weeks when the plants get a bit bigger do you think this is a good move?

Thanks mate I was thinking in about 2 weeks when my plants get a bit bigger adding a led, do you think combination of CFls and led are good idea?

If you don't mind using the extra energy go ahead.. I've never used an led but I don't see why not. trying it is the only way to really learn. It's a good idea if you can fit it in there and it doesn't mess with your temperature to much imo.

Thanks mate for replying, if it was you how would you rig my lights? I was thinking led over the top of plants, than moving my plants away from the wall and having 1x250w cfl either side like where I have my 130watt one at the moment except the other side too, effective yah or nah
