she still going strong... adding some side lights to make sure the lower buds get light... is there anything with having lights below the top of the plant

If I had that setup I'd try to work in about 6 bulbs and go for a full canopy. A screen woulda been awesome, but looks like ya got that one thats a lot longer than the rest. I'd do 4 2700k and 2 6500k 55ish watt CFLs and put them 2" above the tops.
I'm finishing up with my first grow (officially my first) and I wish I would have done the canopy instead of letting them get all fubar and outta control w/o any topping or much LST at all (i pinched once.) Check out the grow in my sig if you wanna see what not to do =p

canopy being like a dome of lights? my cousin grew a beautiful white widow plant with basically my setup but the lower buds didnt fully mature (lack of light) so im trying to improve on that? I LST'd a few times.. I have an adjustable amount of space (pantry) so she can grow im just trying to keep it within my light limitations. (apt.s basically require a CFL grow lol) but yeah... side lights (as in below the highest top) will not negatively effect my top buds correct?

Nah a canopy as in an even layer of bud sites on the top of your plant. You can LST, Supercrop, Top, Fim, or any combination. When did you switch to 12/12? You don't wanna shock it too much by cutting or anything now, but you could probably tie the tall one down to be even with the others. You'll get more in the end concentrating on the top buds, rather than the popcorn nugs. Just blow up your set up with lights on top of the plant no more than 2" above. Just make sure you got good air circulation and exhaust, don't wanna get it too hot in there.

I'm gonna sub, I'd like to see how this goes. One day I wanna have a fridge grow with ocean forest and a scrog with a bunch of bud!
 
This is my first grow as well! Don't really know what I was doing, but there in there 5th week of bud'n, and I've been using this site to get me through the process and what not. The fan leaves are yellowing from bottom up, but I've read this is natural. I've got some cell pics here.
