So I'm going to throw out the alien and baby plant tonight. I heard you can make hash oil from leaves and stems. Do they have to go through the flowering process for that? I doubt there is any thc content in the leaves. Furthermore I would need to wait until the rest of my plants finished to gather there leaves and stems, i am guessing by then the leaves from the baby plant will have dried up and died inside of a bag rendering them useless.
Should I be flowering? (Lots of info and pics so help quick!!) :)

You need a lot of them..and just take out the halogens...they are taking up plug spots for more cfls.
Yeah you can't really find HiD lighting where I am either, unless you want to pay the ridiculously marked up prices my local hydro store has, which I don't...I got both of my large lights off of ebay...Check craigslist. Right after I spent the money to order the 400w CMH light a freaking guy on craigslist was selling 2 1000w set ups with ballasts for less than I paid for just one 400w light...kinda sucked.

none of them look good though......................
if you ask for advise and ignore it thats your problem.... I give it 2 weeks with halogen. Plus incanesent-halogen do not have the light frequancy plants need
or if you can get them to flower its gonna be hairy 1/2 gram pr crop.
that in my eyes is a waste of your time-money.
get like 5+ x 20w cfls going, they look very leggy to
That's not at all what is going on, From my newbie experience looking at the plants none of them seem to be burnt or fried. Nonetheless I will replace the Halogen with 2 cfl's tonight.
If my plants lasted 4-5 weeks vegging from a single 100w halogen and 2 cfl's I don't see why it wouldn't be possible to flower them for 4-6 weeks with 8 cfl's. Even if its a shitty yield to what you guys are used to. My plants took longer to veg so maybe it will just take longer to bud or maybe they will just die like you said
I DO appreciate the advice.

dude you might want to go research lighting.
CFLs can do cracking things, but you need more than 100w to flower.
Maybe you might wanna think of just 1 plant, it might be more succes as you could put all that cfl energy into one plant. have them as close as poss. 120w cfl - 1 plant is more achievable than that lot you have. plus could get easy an oz+

halogen is wasted energy...... (unless your floodlighting)

Unless the leaves were taken after the plant was flowering then they aren't worth a whole lot for making hash and what not. But even dead leaves off of a plant that is at least halfway through flowering have a lot of applications and uses.

I use a 20 in box fan in each tent blowing directly on the plants...you just want to see the stems moving in the "wind" that is what makes the stems stronger..having to grow against a fan...When I first started out I was like nah, I'm using CFLs and they don't get hot...I don't need a fan..but then I got a fan anyway and bigger lights and wowserz! that is where it is at!

Sometimes...some people don't believe what they read on other threads or something...
I feel like if I look back in my history of posts I probably have a lot of stupid ones just like everyone else...having dumb problems I could have fixed and figured out myself, but for some reason some of us like to ask questions that have already been asked until we have the confidence to figure things out ourselves...
Once you grow enough plants though you don't need anyone to walk you through it, but when you first start it sure does help...and I think that is what this forum is for.
