It must be, the plants are obviously liking it.sounds like a great mix
I haven't read all 45 pages, so I don't know you exact lighting configuration. But from what I can see, if you had more lights on the side of the plants, you wouldn't get height, but the plants would be a lot wider. I have 12 CFLs in a small box - 8 are on the sides (2 on each side of the box) and 4 above. I get great horizontal growth. I recently had a plant that was as wide as it was tall (unfortuneately, I killed it transplanting - quite a shame).
I recently switched to CFLs, so I don't have a ton of experience. But it seems to me that with CFLs you don't get as much height, but the plants are bushier (as compared to regular florescent or outdoor growing, which are what I have experience with).

Ya sure. Vegitation i uses 1 Tspn of FF Grow Big Per Gallon + 4 Tbls FF Big Bloom Per Gallon. For flowering i am using 1 Tspn of FF Tiger Bloom/pg + 4 Tbls FF Big Bloom/pg. FF Open Sesame, FF Cha Ching, and FF Beastie Bloomz, all three only 1/8 Tspn/pg. And i will emergency flush 3 days before harvest. And i water until a little bit run's out of the bottom of the planter and then i stop immediately.
Thanks
