plants under fluorescent lights

so far am i doing the lighting right

They look a bit stretchy to me. It looks like you have your light as close as can be, can't do much more than that. What type of fluorescent you running?

Puff.

17 wyatt cool white

more watts

wat would be perfect

No less than a 23-watt CFL for each plant. You need lots and lots more light. Start reading about others grows and pic threads with pics. Check light heights above plants.

what if i put a 65 wyatt blulb

Not trying to be rude here but it seems like I say this over and over again to new members, if you want to get accurate answers to your questions you need to post all relevant information necessary, your initial post and pics did not contain enough info regarding your setup for us to really help you so remember to post as much relevant details as you can. For the "BEST" results when using CFL's you want at least 50W per plant in veg, I know you can get away with less but if you want your node spacing tight and faster growth use more watts, I recommend to use 100W per plant in veg and then double that for flower, however as long as your temps are in control you could use more, remember more light= more better quality bud. Some say to use strictly 5000k-6500k for veg and 2700k-3000k for flower, however Ive heard from several experienced growers that a mix of red and blue spectrums produces better results, they and I recommend a 2:1 or 3:1 ratio, with emphasis on blue in veg and red in flower. Good luck and keep us posted.
