CFL Closet Grow (Semi-Stealth)

Hello everyone this is my 5th grow, I've grown outside & indoors before.
With the grow I'm currently running, Well.. It started out as something I wasn't expecting much from but now that I started I'm thinking of changing things.
Anyways!
I currently have 3 42w CFLs that I've veged my plants and I started flowering 6 days ago.. I'm not sure exactly how long I veged for. I just started flowering early so they don't get too big. So I basicly have 3 months to finish flowering cause I'm moving..

So right now I have 3 plants.
All have been grown for the same amount of time.

Heres some pictures of the 3 little plants
Oh yea, I'm not 100% sure but I believe all of them are girls.. and as you can tell I topped the one on the right, I was just experimenting and it turned out to work well.. I'll probably do this on all my next grows



Oh, also I had some underwatering problems when they were younger.. Seem to be fine now, Everythings under control.
Heres some pictures of the plant I topped, I believe its a girl?


and I have one more picture of a plant that I haven't noticed and signs of sex.. Had some bottom leaf problems.. involved underwatering =/



Feedback appreciated

Ugh, why so many views and no replys.. I don't understand

Subscribed looking forward to seeing your grow.

Thanks.. Oh, they're also bagseed.. and I ordered a 105w CFL 2700k a few days ago.. Should arrive soon.. I have a homemade reflector setup for it
My next grow I'm def ordering seeds.. This grow was kinda an accident =/

Nice man but you should have went with hps instead of the 105 watt CFL

Yea, I've considered going with an HPS system.. Currently I don't have the money to invest in it.. I'm trying to get a Carbon Filter..
My next grow I'm getting a 250w HPS; But thats a while away.

Hmm, probably 8-10 inches out of the soil. They're all pretty much the same size, the one I topped is probably an inch or so shorter than the rest.

Well, CFLs are defineately good for veg, but flowering is a whole different thing.. Hopefully my 105w CFL will be good for flowering, I'm not expecting great yields, but I'm expecting dank yields
Oh, 2 of them I have confirmed are female, One has yet to show signs of sex..

I'll be posting more pictures tonight once the lights come on

So i recieved my 105w CFL 2700k..
This things huge! I wasn't expecting anything near as big.
Anyways, I'm setting it up tommorow at some point, I'll get pictures of plants w/ the new set-up tommorow!

Shouldn't the bulb have the ballast in the end near the socket?

cfl's have the ballasts near the bottom...i've heard 100w cfl's get hot as shit....

Pardon my english! lol, where did you get a "SOCKET" for that bulb

It works in standard sockets.

what kind of soil is that your using?

OHHHH so its a 200w Equivilant bulb. so like 48 Actual watts. lol
