Trimming top leaves

I spent 45$, and I got 345 watts of CFLs.

this is an old set up, no recent set up photos

Only the one T5HO, yeah, I know I need more light, I'm working on that. It was all I could afford at the time. Too many irons in the fire, I'll have the cash the first of the month to buy a couple more to daisy chain. I know my setup sucks but it's all I got for now. I do have a CFL lamp I'm going to put on them for the sides.

don't worry girl I have a couple of AK-47 is vegging under 1,4 foot four tube T5 and they look okay.
I didn't want to discourage you or anything, I just wanted to see if I could help you out, but I guess your you know the answer.
I myself will be losing probably half of my productivity in the flower room due to lack of lighting and I can afford no more either.
If you don't mind I think I will subscribe to your journal; cool?

Have you ever thought of putting a strip of CFLS in the opening between the two T5s?

Or maybe, behing the plants on the opposite of the T5 used for side lighting?

They do look nice regardlesss

Thank You.
I wish I could but I just can't afford it right now. I'd like to take the T fives out of the veg room put them in the flower room and put a 1000 W metal halide light in my veg room, but that is gonna happen right now. My other ideas to put a 1000 W high-pressure sodium in my flower room to increase production, which is 9 x 7 and is only running a 1000 W high-pressure sodium in it now and I think this is the best idea for right now.
The economy sucks and I can only afford what I can afford, but I can increase production to get the best production of out of what I can afford.
That's all I was trying to do for Rosie.

As I gave prices, 300 watts of CFL lighting will be SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper than 1000 watt mh and hps set up...45$ as opposed to 600+.
