I seriously would not recommend growing them a lot taller, with HID lights it would be fine, but cfl's lose shit loads of intensity with distance! keep them short and stocky, with close proximity to the light. Also, leave the blue enviro in for the first 2 weeks of flowering, it stops them stretching as much, and they use the blue light more efficiently at that stage of flowering. Plants looking great btw, so obviously you know what you're doing. Keep it up!
Plants looking awesome, I would flower now too I agree with titania with out some form of LST the light penetrance will drop unless you have a completely reflective grow box or some form of side lighting. A month should be plenty of veg for a very respectable yeild considering your plants look perfect like they have never had any adverse conditions in their lives. Your girl should be able to handle it if she is intelligent, you just need to make it worth her while. I would definitely get her something for her efforts if she does well. good luck!

Oh yeah wack in the red as well, much better, plants love mixed spectrum.
So long as the temps don't get out of control

yeh, well either way the plants are gonna spend most of their flowering lives under both spectrums, especially the last 4-6 weeks of flowering when males have been seperated.
heres some updated pics, as you can see my big baby is pretty tall now, jus hope to god she isnt a he lol
i ordered some more envirolights so now in total i have 250w blue, 250w red, and 125w red, as i say i will have all 3 of these over the plants during final month of flowering to maxamise yield, shouldnt be too bad, 625watts of cfl power is quite a lot i think.

there about 45 odd quid
theres a bit more heat with these 250watters so u cant really keep em an inch above, more like 4 odd inches above to stop burning

Reading over the suggestions from many nutrient suppliers:
Stop feeding with any veg nutes week 1 of flowering
Begin feeding full strength (which could be 1/4 to full depending on strain) flowering nutes week 1 of flowering
By the last two weeks of flowering back off on feeds (if full strength go 1/2, then 1/4)
Last week no nutes.

koo, iv not started using any nutes yet through the veg stage, so gonna start with 0.25ml biobizz grow and 0.5ml biobizz bloom per litre, in the 1st week of flowering.
should i feed nutes every week and say by week 4, double the dosages?

What are the concentrations of those feeds in N-P-K?

bloom is 2-6-3.5
grow is 8-2-6
i have no idea what that means, does that sound good?

First week of flowering stop using the Grow formula.
Add a 1/4 - 1/2 strength bloom feed for the first week.
Over the next few weeks up the feed until you get to full strength, if you are comfortable with that and your plants are burning.
Then for the last 3 weeks before harvesting work down to no nutes.
For example, working from full strength feed:
Week 8: 1/2 strength
Week 9: 1/4 strength
Week 10: No nutes
Week 11: harvest
