Belladonna flowering cfl grow

Just wanted to make a quick post to see what you guys think of my plants. Ive grown before but this is my first successful grow.
I planted 3 in soil from seed and kept 2 due to space issues. They've been flowering for little over a month. Now i see my plants like this i keep thinking back to the one i threw away, if only i had more room.
I used 3X 150watt cfl's bulbs, 2 in reflectors above the plants and 1 inbetween them. The fert I used is apparently, so it says on the bottle "the finest dutch quality" organic fert Bio-grow(8-2-6) and Bio-bloom(2-6-3.5)
I had many problems early on mostly self inflicted due to using bad compost which im sure stunted the growth alot. When i sorted the problems, repoted and started using the fert they took off.
Two pictures of each plant top and side shot. Look how different in thickness the white hairs are. Both same strain Belladonna.
Let me know what you think
Thanks

Oh belladonna is the name of the strain?? I thought you were referring to a ''different'' Belladonna.

Plants looking great though. Second grow eh. Your third will be much better. Somtimes I'm amazed just how much you can learn from one grow to another. All need different treatment, nutes, water etc etc. I dont think its possible to know everything.

Good work.

haha i think i know which Belladonna you were thinking off.
My 1st grow is my avatar picture, planted a single seed, same strain. It grew perfect without a problem except the fact it was male. I carried on growing it for awhile just for experience but soon planted these two to replace it

Let those babies grow, they look like they have a bit of life left in them, have you considered using a really low wattage bulb so you don't disrupt the cycle?? you should be able to take care of the light leaks if the bulb is of really low wattage

Thanks for checking this out mate
I know they could do with a little longer but my girlfriend is pressuring me to get rid before saturday when people come to stay. Shes complaining about the smell now to so the light isnt the only problem lol.
Am i loosing out on much weed by cropping now? About 20 - 25% of the hairs have turned brown.

60 - 75% really? I was thinking 30% tops, this is my first successful grow so i guess i dont really know.
Today is the day i gotta do it and i really dont want to, wish the situation was different because im more than patient and want to wait it out.
I can just turn the lights off for 24hrs and deal with the smell in other wayd but i hear this isnt a good thing for the plant at this stage.
