just know your plants will double in size when you start to flower. make sure you have enough room may have to tie some down

i have plenty of room .. its a 6.5 tall.. i actually have them on a small glass table to get better airflow rightt now.. so once they start to stretch and whatnot ill just take them off the table and put them back on the floor.. and just adjust my lights..

I've been doing the same thing with cfl's and have decided to go with t5's due to longer bulb life and a much higher lumen output and i don't have to look high and low for higher wattage bulbs. If money is a factor t8's are considerably cheaper than t5's and I've had wonderful results from them so don't let people tell you other wise. It's all about the 2700k and 6500k spectrum bulbs and mixing them together is a great way to mimic those ufo led's which actually work pretty good for vegging. Nice grow and I'd suggest staying away from all platinum/steel grade beverages as they will seriously kick your nuts and your head the next day.

I noticed that you use the plug in sockets for your lights. I used those before the setup I got now but I had to put a wire where the Y socket splitter was because two 68 watters on one of those plug in sockets is pretty heavy and could easily come out. When it comes with light, I always think it's best to make sure they are all securely in there, if you can give it a good shake and nothing comes lose then bumps won't do anything.

Besides that, all your plants look nice and healthy.
