1. More/Stronger light would help. IMO. (what kind of lighting?)

2. Paint the inside of your grow area; with flat white paint, next time...:thumbsup:

3. Good Luck.

OK excellent. With my current grow thou how much longer intill the buds get big enough before i can start drying proccess? Also am i right by having it on a 12/12? I will put foil around plant i think to help light abit.

Be careful with foil as can create "hotspots" which is not very good for plant. also when getting ready to paint inside of cabinet check to see if you can get your hands on some KoolSeal which is an Elastomeric aluminum roof coating. The bright white has a 95% reflectivity to it and works really well!!

Donovan 12/12 is right for flowering. Find a hyro shop and get some black & white. £1.00 a sq. metre. Reflective as hell. Tape it to the walls & floor. You haven't said what lights you are using. HPS are better for flowering, MH for veg, imo.
