Did you use CFL?

If you did try upgrading to HID lighting.

how close was the light? Did you have good airflow and ventilation between the plants? Larger the light and closer it is, the better spaced your nodes will be :D And in turn...larger fatter nugs. Did you use any nutrients?

also you can try putting in a revolving fan pointing at your plants this will act as an artificial wind and will help beef up your stems and make it easier for nutes to be absorbed..
