look good mate but very stretched, especially the babies at the bottom, move the lights closer, if you just got CFLs in there at the minute, get them as close as possible maybe 2 or 3 inches but make sure its not too hot for the plants so put your hand over the top of the plant and feel the heat
 
I have 9 26 watts warm white 2 23 watt bright white and 2 lower watt warm white. They have had no nutes and are a bagseed strand. I belive around day 50 or so and about 2 weeks into 12/12.
 
Oh an yea the furthers bud site away from a blub is only like 5". Most are right on top so I have to adjust daily. But thanks for the comments and I will post more pics :-)

That's good, but for the lower buds to get the light they need their own bulb(s) at 1-2 inches. I see that the top bulbs are in great lighting position
