cfl florescent tubes

first time thread on my first grow i am using cfl flourescent tubes 2 40 watt warm white heat emission bulbs and 2 40 watt cool white. i heard on a web site that warm white bulbs are good for making buds dense and and cool white is making the bud stretch. i will post pictures shortly. also one of my lights took a shit on me so time to go to wall-mart and get my ten dollar light fixtures.

the first two pictures are from veg and the last two are two days in flowering and they are stretching like crazy!!!!!

here is the closet all closed up

Those lights are o.k for veg , but I dont think you will get much farther without more light . but GL

you need to put the lights much closer. also need to transplant into something bigger very soon

ok noted i have some things i can raise them up and i will take care of the potting monday when i get paid.
i heard for fluorescent should be about 2-4 inches from the light but i found it would wilt the top leaves.
also i was wandering what is better a dark green plant or a light green plant? my buddies plants are light green and mine are dark and we used the same seeds
i will find out dimensions of my closet next time lights are on.

bmw2313 thoes aren't CFLs thoes are (please correct me if I am wrong but thoes look like T5 flor tube lights) CFLs are compact flor. lights

T5 Bulbs


CFLs

transplant, give the roots some space to grow

snow tiger i am quite sure they are fluorescent also. i am hoping to sea of green them so how much larger should the pots i transplant them be? oh i was away in the moutians for a day or so and omg the plants grew tall and thick over night i will try to take a few photos soon

idk if you can tell but i raised the plants up and i put the other set of lights in. its ALOT brighter now

looking very good , do you have a fan blowing on them?

no there is no fan but the bulbs do not get hot maybe a little warm but nothing to burn the plants. i am going to get a flowering suppliment soon any suggestions guys?

I would put a small fan on them blowing very lightly so that it helps strengthen their stalks before flowering because if you flower them and the buds become to big then will start to lean / bend and possible even brake so before flowering deff have a fan on them

ok cool sounds good i have to go to wall mart for a a few items so ill pick that up too. anyone know how long untill i will be able to know what sex they are?
