Id keep in mind cfls dont penatrate deep- veg to tall, you wont get light to the lower stuff. I vegd to 15" tied all tops down&flowerd. Im impressed with the results so far!

GC you have a nice looking grow going on. I would start using some LST personally to keep your height in check. I can only go by what folks on the site have said about 2x-3x growth when switching to 12/12 light cycles as i am on my very first grow also. You have a lot to work with and doing so will open up your plants to more light. I am totally down with Kotton's comment on cfl light penetration. Thats why I have kept my lights so close the whole grow and it has also kept node spacing and plant height down because she didnt have to stretch to get light. Hope you dont mind but heres a few pics of my girl at day 29. You may be able to see the dark green plant wire ties i am using to LST her.

She is a short little one but she has flower sights coming out all over. She goes into 12/12 next week. If you look very closely at the second and fourth pictures you can see where she lost her head..lol. Right in the center

thanks arch! that helps a lot. Your girl looks very nice , yeah like you said i do have a bit to work with, i started my plants raised on a bunch of random crap lol, and i can still lower the taller one about an inch and the shorter one abut 3 inches, im grabbing some more cfl's i think, after i pick up a timer. And to be honest im a bit scared to LST as ive never done so before. but anything to keep them low, i think i may be able to raise my lights about a foot if shit get extreme lol. happy grow

UPDATE: So i was watering my plants and decided to look at the bottom of the pots and noticed little roots coming through the holes, looks like its time to transplant again. its amazing how strong/fast these roots are growing, what do you guys think my next pot size should be, they're currently in 1.58 gallon pots and have only been there for 2 and a half weeks of their life, so let me know. im going out to get some bigger bulbs to replace the 13 watter's today and a maybe a timer (if i can find a cheap one) i didnt realize that they were a bit pricey on a very low budget.
