Well let me say to me they look good there not strecthing at all One thing to improve things if you want what i would do is put that LED as the main over head fixture. Use the cfls as side lighting. Im no pro about Leds or CFls for that matter but judging on all the thread ive read leds have better penertration than cfls. But you know what they say if it isnt broke dnt fix it they look good to me. Other than that get some air moving in there put a little desk fan at the very least they will love you for it.

Man i had to give you some rep for your setup bro looking real good and your new to this. The only info i would give ILI already said especially the part about the fan!!! Keep up the good work im eager to see wht you do on your next one.

I was just thinking about it you could try to keep your canopy more even put some books under the younger ones to raise them up with the older ones. This will help the younger ones get more intense light.

Thanks for the feedback guys i have a small 5inch 12v transportable oscilating fan running down in the bottom of the cabinet and a 80 mm fan sitting between the topshelf that the 85w is sitting on sucking out air, they just not visible on the video
Am heading to the postoffice for the 6500k light now will need to find good spot for it

perhaps in future ill divide the cabinet into top and bottom halfs =

Great looking plants, growaholic. I've been very happy with the results of my CFL grow, and it looks like you've got things well under control also. Nice setup!
