Hey smoke how is the grow going? From what I see at this stage in the game you're ok on lights, space etc.

As your plants get larger you're going to want more lights and space. How many plants are you planning on flowering in ur tent? I would say one or two max unless you're going to do the Sea of green, which if the tent is the only grow space you've got, that would be the best way to go.

The thing about CFL growing you're going to want to be as efficient with your lights as possible. One way to do this is to have a solid canoy that fills your grow space. This is advantageous b/c you're not wasting light, and more of the plants can be 1" or less from your bulbs.

I would look up some info on LST-low stress training, and topping your plants. Check you UncleBens topping sticky in the Advanced Marijuana forum. He details how you can go about topping your plants to get that full canopy.

I hope that I answered some of your questions and pointed you in the right direction.

Late.
