They could be. maybe the angle of the pics made em look further but the side lights look a bit far away.

why did you get rid of all the other cfl's? Your going to want as much light as possible in there mate, get em all back round it or get a few more of them 125 watters. Im thinking about using cfl's in an old wardrobe but im looking to put 2 x 250w red/blue cfl's side by side that way you end up with more lumens than a 250w hps but without the heat. The only thing about cfl's is light penetration, you really do have to keep them within 4" of the tops and you will see some pretty good results. good luck mate, keep growing.

i didn't get rid of the side cfls, there still under the tubes. im using that section for starting seeds. im germinating 5 different auto strains right now. when they sprout ill put them under the tubes with the cfls, and for flowering ill put them all in my closet under both cfls.

the side light on the auto bomb was to close apparently, because the bottom branches went all crazy trying to avoid the it last night. so i just moved it back a little and it looks fine now.
i'll be starting a new auto grow soon with auto blueberry, royal bluematic, pineapple express, S.A.D., and a northern lights auto.
i'll probably start the journal in the next couple days.

I'd scrap the multiple spaces and collect all my CFL's in one area. I'm a bit of a newb but that doesn't seem too efficient. Just pick up an emergency blanket for light reflection and make a space, your plants are stretching and need more light. As for the yellowing it's probably a nitrogen deficiency, which is normal mid flowering.

I started my autos under 250 watts of CFL's under my light rig and had them roughly 2 inches from the top at all times. CFL's need to be very close to your plants.
