Hey Fire, great read so far. You remind me very much of myself. I have been tinkering with growing with CFLs and no budget for quite some time myself. I just run one 18gal rubbermaid setup though.
Other than some reflectivity and maybe squeezing in a few more watts, I think you are lookin great. That plant is definitely producing. If you like the smoke, you should reveg it and try it with some better veg time on some clones. Also, love the LST. I am so addicted to it myself, you can produce so many budsites with relatively little work. As for the watts, I've been reading and reading for years myself on here and OG before about growing while kind of standing on the sidelines. It seems like people reccomend between 80-100 watts for CFLs if you want some tight buds but in my very limited experience and reading it seems like you can really get some extra push on the 100 w/sqft side. I could be wrong!
What are you planning to grow next? You mentioned that you were getting some clones. Lastly, I wouldn't get too excited with the nutes if you are just toying with that plant, but a little unsulphered blackstrap molasses. You can get a bottle for less than five dollars at the grocery store and it will fatten those buds up right towards the end.
Anywho, cheers to the grow...keep us posted and the budshots coming.
