i have 5 23watt 2700k CFLS each produces 1600 lumens with one bulb with reflector near the bottom, if i did my math right then i think i 115watts CFL equivlent?

well tbh , its looking quite sparse and underdeveloped for nearly a month in flowering, you want to get way more light otherwise the buds will be like popcorn and take ages to complete. but the plant itself is looking healthy enough

your plant is healthy but stretched out from the light being too far away from the plant. you have enough light but with cfl's you should have the bulbs within a couple of inches of the plant.

thanks very much, the buds are so small cause i had less then 2000lumens untill the other night, now i have 8k lumens =D, i had 3 13watt bulbs, but now that i have the 5 new 23 watts, is my plant going to do any better?

Also, i wasnt too sure about keeping the bulbs that close to the plant, they get really hot when they are all together, they are adapted onto a power strip

sorry, took a little while to get back to you:

1. absolutely

2. the built in ballast gets pretty hot but the bulb is a lot cooler than other lights. use your hand as a heat sensor at the edge of the plants and bring the light in as close as you can without overheating your hand. you should be able to get the light to within 2".

thank you, i moved the lights closer, but im just "iffy" about it cause the bulbs are getting hot and not the ballest,
the new lights though are helping ALOT, my friend said to add one of my 6000k bulb in there and i wasnt sure how the plant would react,
