For those 2 plants only I would put out an easy 42 watt bulb with bigger reflector and call it a day.

Well for now, I would put the two CFL lights on her and remove the rest. I have a thing, I don't use light I don't feel is approved. What wattage are those CFLs? I have 1 42W CFL over 6 clones doing fine, and I just got another refletor today, so a home depot trip for another is in the making. What kind of soil are you using? I am just starting out in soil now myself, and so I will have to learn the ropes. I have 3 flowering plants as well, in hydro.

yeah i took the red bulb out and the one that doesnt look like a cfl on the left front really is theres just a case around it that kinda directs the beam. and i replaced the red bulb with another 23 watt cfl and the small one in the back corner is a 19 watt. the soil im using is just some run of the mill potting soil...no chemicals added i think
i just found it in my shed and dug to the bottom of the bag where the soil was darker and had less bark and the only thing i need to do now is get some reflectors i guess. I just topped her to so i'll let u know how that goes. but other than that i suppose its just steady as she goes on this one

just moved it up a bit
the one that was really strectched died due to breakage so i learned my lesson. But the bigger one she's doin great
i just clipped the newest growth so it would split into two stalks maybe get a bit more bushy but im just being opptomistic at this point. its gonna take a while but she's growin strong

Where are the pic's of your hydro set up? If youu have 3 plants in a hydro set up how is you don't know shit about lights?

put a little fan on her. That will make her strong. Like wind. Not to close, just enough to make her dance a little.

its all good
sooo after you top your plants does it usually take a little while for the normal growth to start back up cuz before i topped it she was growing pretty steadily and i topped about 3 days ago and theres no new growth yet

Yeah it will take a while with soil under fluoros. My hydro under HPS grows noticeably faster.
