I'm still a total noob at growing, but I think this has grown up to look pretty nice. I'm going to be emulating this basic CFL grow set up once I can get out and buy the sockets and bulbs.

lolz i think u don't get replies because there is nothing wrong with ur grow.
look really nice, stems look small though but a small fan would fix that.
how much heat do u get from the light?

yes there is a point to putting that blue cfl in there too! Most people think that HPS or 2700k is all you need for flowering. It is true that you can produce good yields just by using those but you want to supplement them with some blue lighting aswell. the blue lighting keeps the nugs growing tight. the only other advice iv got is to keep the lights close to the plants (roughly 8" depending on temp) because cfl's loose a lot of lumens being further away. but looks good so far, looks like a big plant for a big yield. good luck!
