Nice man, a bit of stretch, but looks like you're handling it quite well. Pretty cool having all those tiny lights instead of just on big one, I like how you can have em all at different heights for optimal coverage. Looking good man!

Nice work with the CFLs.
Good to see the venting and carbon filter.
Try using a small table and look into the LST grow method.
Get those lights close as possible to as much plant as possible.
One more fan wouldn't hurt.
Good luck!

I def. learned what stretching is and how to control it from my 1st grow
I am controlling my 2nd batch as best as I can to make them all similar heights.learntogrow

Do I have a chance in getting a couple of pounds of yield from the looks of the pictures?
Lol, great sense of humor man
. I bet you'll get about an oz outta em. Not bad for a first grow. Remember my first grow I barely got a quarter of snickle fritz schwag fluff. You're doin way better than I did man, no joke! Can't wait till you smoke that first, self-homegrown bowl, nothing like it man!
Yer kind of killing it with the cfl bro! Your ambition and enthusiasm will take you anywhere!
Hey honestly I love your homemade reflectors....l io l....really good work with cfls.....from my own experi er nce ive alwayas traded low,clfss ,t5s n 400mh s always bring alot of resin,trichomes n hps and warmer lights bring much more density.....lokks great 60 days min. Though

80% of the CFL bulbs in the flowering tent are the more yellowish color. I will eventually switch them all

^^ What tony said. White pistils = Not done adding flowers(weight). Those calyx need to swell. I have a feeling that because your light intensity is rather low, they are taking just a bit longer to mature. Its ok. Sounds like you know what you need to do next time. Thats the fun of a run, figure out how to improve for the next run. Its addictive.
Some advice: those bluish(5000K) bulbs for veg. I have 3x 23w(125watt replacements)in a 36 vanity cabinet for my veg and they grow everything I need for my 3 HIDS(2x400w and 1x150w). Switch them out at flower for the yellows(~2300K? I think) at flower. Put as many as you can without causing heat issues which will cause bolting during the stretch. Next grow aim for a level canopy by training, topping and tying down. You will learn some amazing things about the plant when you start to manipulate them to suit the grow room best. Clone clone clone. Get a technique or 2 down. Then youre golden.
p.s. I bought a 150w hps shipped to my door for $65 on amazon. Your yields will dramatically improve with this.

I only have one fan in the tent
what are the benefits of having more? and should I aim them directly on the plants?
