i changed to CFL Lighting and im not seeing much progress?

so i was using this set up



and i changed the pot it was in..its bigger...and i changed lighting...i went to cfl..and i came to notice cfl lights dont have much heat..atleast mine dont..its a 23w 1600lumen...which isnt good and plant to get better ones...its about 4-6inches away from the plant. and i also put that light pictured nearby so it can create heat as the cfl doesnt?

the only thing i can afford is the things around my pad? thanks!

get the light as close to the plant as possible, but honestly you are not gonna see great results with that much light. do you know what color temperature the bulb is?

Wrong Bulb........get a, 150w-2800 lumen, 6500k CFL!!!!!! You need a better spectrum range. Your light should be 6500k for veg and 2700k for flower!
Here is an example!

Color temperature is a characteristic of visible light (the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that is visible to the human eye ) that has important applications in lighting. Some of these applications include photography, videography, publishing, manufacturing, astrophysics, and other fields.
The color temperature of a light source is the temperature of an ideal black-body radiator (Black-body radiation is light in thermal equilibrium with a black body, light radiation with a given temperature. The closest item in the real world that behaves as a blackbody is our sun.) that radiates light of comparable hue to that light source. The temperature is conventionally stated in units of absolute temperature, kelvin (K). Color temperature is related to Planck’s law and to Wien’s displacement law.
Higher color temperatures (5,000 K or more) are called cool colors (blueish white); lower color temperatures (2,700–3,000 K) are called warm colors (yellowish white through red). Daylight has a spectrum similar to that of a black body, with a correlated color temperature of 6500K.

This is where i bought my CFL: http://www.1000bulbs.com/product/6828/FC42-S65.html

Check out my setup!

try a spiral cfl

youll need some of these

in my grow room (closet) i have over 40000 lumens of light, with a wide range of spectrum. if you are able to get that much light to the plant you wont ever have to worry about topping or stress training the plant because it will grow naturally bushy,the best thing about cfls is the low heat so get them close as possible to the plant.
