everything seems perfect as i can see except the lights, dont expect your plants to grow on the estimated time it's suppose to grow in, your giving them a 100watt CFL, i mean a 100watt HPS can be 5 times better that CFL on 2 plant is really not doing anything to the plants, and the widow just loves light brutha, think about it this way, red spectrum feeds the formation of buds, blue spectrum feeds the formation of stems and leaves which your ladies are way past that already, and the daylight CFL's is not giving much red spectrum, light to plants is like food to us, put your self in their place, would you rather live on a chocolate bar a day for the next 3 months, or would you rather eat a chicken a day?
same concept, atleast if you cant get and HID lights then get 2 or 3 or even 4 of those lights
in CFL's
more light=more bud and healthier growing
but in HID's more light=more heat but if you control the heat then miracles would happen upon your ladies, if your worried about the electricity bill, i use a 250watt HPS with 3 fans and one huge carbon filter fan, blowing 24/7 and lights on 20/4
all that and my bill raised up by 50$, in the end if you give them less light they wont give you much yield or potency bro

good luck!
and am going to be around to see how they turn out, holla if you have a journal on them ladies

I have 8 100 watt daylight cfls . I have been trying to get a 400 watt hps but they been expensive. I had problems with humidity and i had to buy a 200$ dehumidifier so it set me back a bit. My humidity was out of control but its around 45-50. I was thinking that i should get rid of the table they are on and put them lower so they get more light spread out i need to get the lights around a little more i have them all going across the table . I found someone selling a 1000 watt hps with everything i need for 350$ you think its worth it to pick it up?

Are those 100w cfls 100w equivalent or true 100w?

 

[Soysawce]

100 watt equivalent its only 23 watts i think i dont remember

 

[agito]

184w of cfl is really not enough for flower buds well
the light need to be close as possible within 3"
if your keeping those lights in future in grow shorter indica dom strains so the lower growth is closer to the light and indicas use light more efficiently

Should i buy more cfl lights or should i buy a hps light i saw on ebay they sell 400 w hps with everything for like 130$ish and this guy wants to sell me a 1000w hps for 350$ but i can prob haggle him down . I remember going to my hydroponics store and they were trying to sell me some light for 500$ or somthing so i was really thinking on that 1000w let me know someone
