5x42 watt /150 watt equivalent CFL;s, at 2600 lumens' 2700k

Mother space 5x26 watt CFL 5x23 watt CFL ( mixed light temps.)

6 blue dream and 2 white widow 4 pk 2 super silver haze 1 bubba kush in the flower space that is about 4x4. The Blue dream and white widow are 25 days into flower and the rest i just put into the flower space.

Put the grow box on its back essentially and stacked another on top of it. attached all my clamp lights around the box. Watering all plants tomorrow. Will add Lights from mother section of grow room and put into the Flower box with extention cords and socket to out let adapters + y socket spliters down the middle of the grow box.

I've never had to grow in grow boxes or a small space like one
Hmm looks harder to use than a single MH or HPS on a mover
less heat this way, less noise but more work and wires
Im old school about MH/ HPS on a light mover.

Day 27 for the (first pic ) Blue Dream (second pic )and White widow. Got some yellowing on the bottom leaves. Maybe my girls need some N? I have a little fungus nat problem. Thats why i have the clay balls on top of my soil and sticky paper fly catchers.
Third picture is the Purple kush and super silver haze. The PK are tied down kinda.

Last pic is the updated grow box. Just turned my dressers on their backs and attached my butt load of Clamp lights. :stoned:

Oh and as for the cost of all my lights. Around 8 bucks per clamp light 16 bucks per 68 watt cfl 9 bucks per 42. +4 23 watt CFLs that were like 2 bucks each.
Sooo 9x8= 72 16x4= 64 9x5=45
So around 175

More pistils forming. Yellowing of the leaves is spreading up the plant. I have watered four days ago with FF big bloom at full strength, fixed light leeks. Will water today with Fish emulsion 5-1-1 at full strength.
more pics on the way!

They all imo all look about a week into flower. Will this effect my end overall yield? Or more so just harvest time increased ?

Bump Bump Bump. Advise anyone?:(
Doesn't look like the Fish emulsion did much for the yellowing.

Hopefully the answer to the yellowing is the answer to my reallllyyyy slow bud growth.
