that hps will def help u out. Then you can concentrate your cfl's around the middle of the plants and let the hps take care of the top. I had the 150 from htg supply, very little heat and I could keep it about 6-8 inches from the tops. I liked that one because it had the ballast built in. They have a pretty loud buzz to them though. Your grow looks good so far. Another thing that could be stunting your growth is a bit of N toxicity that I see. Too much N after the 2nd week of flower can really stunt bud growth and cause "the claw" I would feed strictly a bloom nute with 0 nitrogen in it from here on out, let your plant grab its N from the lower fan leaves if it needs it.

Actually I dont know how much hope I have for the tall bean stock, shes pretty light on the buds. Ahe has bud sites all over but theyre almost getting skinnier like she is! My short n thick girl lookin good tho.

Yea, I was wondering if it was the N doing it. Im using super bloom at 1/4-1/2 strength and his has a little N, I think its 10-55-35 . What kind has no N?

Btw, thanks for the tip, Ill use water till I can get nutes with no N.

If you have some grandma's molasses laying around you can add 1-2 tablespoons/gallon until you get your bloom nutes. It has a little of what a flowering plant needs, not everything but it will help and it has carbohydrates in it. The straight water will help to flush out any toxic salt buildup in the soil from the nutes. Make sure you water enough that you have plenty of runoff and that you only water when the pot is light. Might I suggest, for a cheapy solution getting jungle juice bloom. It is only $7.50 for a 1 quart container and its pretty good stuff. Its from advanced nutrients. It is on htgsupply. Np for the tip, that's what I'm here for.
The taller one is def sativa so it will take longer to grow out buds and finish. More light and side light is definitely the right move. Dont let them discourage you. I pulled 2.5 oz from a cfl grow that I nearly killed 3 times. Overwatered overfed still got a decent yield with 400w cfl

Does htg deliver pretty fast? I'm guessing I dont have too much time..

They both have been flowering for roughly 4 weeks, can you tell from my pics an eta on each plant?

What is the temp in the room? And you need a fan in there to circulate the air.

Its about 85-90 lights on, I have 2 fans running while lights are on, not really an intake n outake,, more of just circulation...too hot?

the higher the temp. the lower the humidity,since youre already developing buds you may want it at around 45 or lower and gradually drop as you get closer to harvest.your temps aren't unbearably high as theyre still developing,but it may be too dry in there atm and if thats the case a bowl of water can be a start.is there a cab. door or something else you can open to let hot air out?
Oscargrouch

Yes actually I just decided to crack the door open a little for ventilation. I think a combo of heat and no fresh air is affecting them. It seems the clawing is worse since flushing. Maybe I need to flush again actually. Gopefully that along with some fresh air and lower temps they'll do better.

do the leaves feel dry and thin, or moist?

Id say they feel more dry and thin, not too dry though.

that's heat stress. You might have to switch to lights on at night to beat the temps. That's what I do in summer. All you have to do to switch time is leaves the lights off for 2 days then go to like 8 pm lights on 8 am lights off it will be like night and day difference on the temps.

I also use pro silicate to help the plant be more resistant to heat and retain moisture .

Yes Terry straight water, trying to find a nute without N. I have a way to get bat guano for hardly anything which I heard was good. Yall tried it? I think I'll try switching to lights on at night too, thats actually prolly exactly what I need to do.
