keep the light as close as possible as long as its not burning it. you really should get a hps, you will be greatly amazed in the difference. its really a great investment in he long run and will pay for itself and power usage. my first grow i spent a bit over $1000 got a 5x5 tent with a 400w hps 170 cfm inline fan with a small cool tube. made all my money back plus about 6 ounces of personal. fox far soil and nutrients no supplements except advanced nutrients super thrive. best thing is, it was all legal thanks to medical laws. had a friend with a serious illness and i was her caregiver. worked out great for us all.

I'd just use both bulbs at the same time for veg and flowering. And is 6" as close as u can get those bulbs without them burning ur plants, if not try to move em as close as possible.

try keep them cfls an inch away from the plants at all time mate, the reasons your bottom leaves are yellowing off n dying is that your soil is too wet n your roots cant breath, look up PERLITE, the plants will droop when they need feeding, them greenlamp cfls ar not so bad but u will be better off with hps

I'm a huge Blue Mystics fan, your growth is a bit slow but you're going to love the Mystic when it's done.

I did one round of CFL mystic and one round of MH/HPS Mystic and while the smoke was beautiful with the CFLs, I'm in absolute dreamland with the MH/HPS Mystic.

no cfls need to be basicly touching the plant more like 1cm away

That looks like a 125w bulb. A 23-42w could probably be placed within an inch, but those 125s burn pretty hot. Also I've burn plenty of leaves because people said "put it an inch away." You'd be surprised how quickly a leaf can get being an inch away from a 42w for 20 hours.
