I would say 4/ 2700k plus at least 2 /6500k cfl's.
2700k is more in the red light great for flowering!

regarding the lights... I don't know where will I put another 2 lights in that wardrobe...as you can see, at the moment there is a bar (the hanging bar) and from that I am hanging the one "Y" shape in the middle and two more on the sides. Please give some suggestions for the new setup.

hey buddy
Looks Amazing...even with a few burnt leaves, you can cut those off if you like, as they will Not heal where they got burned.Good thing there is lots more of her it should not be a problem!
Yes shes a Beast and will definitely need a few more lights to get good light penetration to all her areas. in pic 3 there is a shadow about half way down, best to get some additional light cuz she is so Big now. or even a reflector of some sort, piece of drywall painted flat white over top of the lights, will help direct more of the top cfl light downward...no wasted light going up, get it going down on her.
Hahaha sorry don't mean to overwhelm you but just a few things that I noticed

Thank you very much for the comments, thing is I am thinking where to add more lights cause I don't have to much space left there...and up, there is only one metal/hanging bar in only one plan/axis.
I am thinking maybe to move it again in the cabin shower...but the last time I moved it there she got the gnats and the temp there is not controllable. There is no heater there, just a small heat blower on the wall.
Please advice

get a 1x6 piece of wood or 2x4 about a foot long or more...mount 2 y connectors to ends of it, hang piece of wood from metal bar with wire, on both ends so in can balance, even little tiny chain or good string so it will not break. ... just try to get one more on sides so you will have 7 total...that's a lucky # ..lol
so all you need is a 2 y connectors
piece of wood cut to 12-16 inches.
wire, thin chain, string?
least one more light for sides.

the only problem with the Y connector is that I got it from ebay from hong kong and it takes about 3 weeks for the post to get to me
oh....you don't have a hardware/tool/home building/construction store around? that was odd...lol
could just try to hang two more light on sides...thats probably easier.

I will not have the chance to use another Y connector, as I said, I have this one from Hong Kong and it took 3 weeks to come. So I'll try to somehow cover the anterior-posterior axis with 2 more lights.
Question regarding the 2700k lights. How many watts should they have?
I'll try to put the Y up with 2700k, another 2 of 2700k on the sides laterals and up and antero-posterior another 2 of 6500k...it will be very crowded

I need all the advice I can get and I am very thankful for it. + rep
Only thing I was able to add cost me a lot and it's not the best.
Two lamps ( 10 euro each) - the only way I am able to get some cable from the stores. They have parts and cable but it's more expensive that way. So...2 lamps that I broke into basics and used only the cable and the bulb holder. 2 lights...the best I could find - 20 w and 2700k and 2 holders. All this cost me 40 euros... and the result is this
So...up top there are 2x35w 6500k on a "Y" holder, right side one 20 w 2700k and a bit lower a 35w 6500k; on the left there is a 20 w 2700k and in front again a 35w 6500k.
The wardrobe is getting smaller

anyone else notice the difference
good job perke. notice ,one on left is blue and the one on the right is orange.
Nice, I didn't even think to compare the pics, nice, really nice. Can be even better, but no more space in the wardrobe. The brunches are getting pressed by the walls and door
