Indoor cfl auto bomb/pakistan ryder grow

[xXSASquadXx]

whatsup, these two autos are about 3 or 4 weeks old and they are now under 18/6.
the taller one is auto bomb, and the other one is a pakistan ryder.

the lights are 6 40w florescent bulbs on top, 2 25w cfls on the sides and one 60w cfl in the middle. is this enough light for flowering?

so i moved the auto bomb in my closet under a 125w cfl, and the pakistan ryder is in a mini fridge i converted into a mini grow room. ill post pics of that tomorrow, heres the Abomb..

ill keep it under this light it should be good enough. there are lot of bottom branches growing nicely..

and here's the top, soon to be a cola..

here's the pakistan ryder in the mini fridge, under a 105w cfl..

i dont see how the auto bomb got so much bigger, they have been under the same lights except for like a week before moving them in the barn the auto bomb had the slightly higher wattage cfl.

Looking good bro. The autobomb looks stretched out some. 1' inch between nodes is good anywhere from 1/2-2 inches is ok. Looks like the autobomb has a couple inches in-between the nodes. Looks like they're in bloom now. What are you feeding them?

I tried Auto Bomb....didn't germ. GLAD to see it growing. Stretch usually indicated s-t-r-e-t-c-h-i-n-g for light. However, in the past, getting used to my fluoro t5's, stretching allowed side branching whereby I could pollenate!! Looking like a prepubescent female alright!! Congrats!

Just looked at the Seed Data base http://en.seedfinder.eu/strain-info/Auto_Bomb/Bomb_Seeds/

...one of the largest yielding ( a good thang!) autos (I think the reason I wanted to purchase!)...I think, besides high thc...
"Plant Height: Dwarf (30-85cm)
Indoor Flowering: 65+ days from seed.....THC and better yields while being exceptionally easy to grow. Auto Bomb is one of the largest yielding autos to date."

Thanks for the friend request bro. How the
Girls makin out? Here's a small read on stretching. To much stretch and you run into a few problems. 1. Stretch over a few inches will greatly reduce yield. A large distance from top cola to lower branches will mean less light and lumens reaching the lower buds for proper growth. Resulting in airy buds of a smaller size. The also require more energy to pump water from it's leaves and transport photosynthate from it's leaves. The extra energy could have went into flowering. Taller plants that are stretched also have a more spindly stem. The weight of the buds later in flowering will require stakes to avoid damage and falling over. Stetched plants tend to yield 30-50% less. Now I'm not saying any or all of these things will happen to
You. I just said it looked a little stretched. This is just a answer to your question of what's the problem with stretched plants. I like to have some stretch in my autos. 1 inch between nodes is optimal.
