First grow could use some advice

Hey everyone!! Im new to this site and just wanted some advice to help my buds come out the best they can. Ill give you most of the infomation about my setup and im open for anything you guys got to say.

Im growing in my closet and its about 2 feet by 4 feet.

Im using 5 26w cfl and 2 13w cfl. It said on the box 100w but says it uses 26w on the bulb nd somthing about 1700 lumins or somthing along those lines.

for nutes i have just been using Foxfarm Big Bloom concentrate and my plants have been growing great but when i went to get more from my local hydroponics store he told me if i was using just Bigbloom i wont get much yeild bc it doesnt have enough potash. so he told me to get Bio Flores 2.5-2.0-5.0
and also gave me a free sample of bioboost. I was wondering if i should use just the bio flores and boost or both bioflore, boost, and bigbloom.

For soil i use Fox Farm organic ocean breeze. My biggest plant is in a 5g bucket and rest are smaller. My 5g bucket has holes on the bottom and i put that in another 5g bucket with white stones at the bottem and holes in that to drain in a plastic tray.

I know im crappy at explaining everything bc im new at all this but ill have pictures soon and you b able to give better advice when u see them.

They have been growing for about 2 months and i just changed my lights from 18/6 to 12/12. 2 of my plants are around 18 inches tall and the other 3 are about 13 inch tall. All ,my lights are set up on a timer that turns the lights off at 8pm and on at 8am.

Ill def think of more details to tell you but if someone could give me some advice so far on what iv posted id really appreciate it =)

Welcome aboard. See my signature for some useful stickies, especially the one that details information to include when asking for help.

iv seen a few of those but ill look at the rest and im sry if i offended anyone asking for help, just needed someone elses input bc iv told noone

Dude, no offense taken. It just helps to have done the background reading and perhaps you have. I'll take a closer look. A lot of people around here will lend a helping hand. Self education is just part of the deal.

My first thought is that you are going to want to read up on the lights. I'm not good with CFL stuff. I kind of ignore it as it doesn't apply to my situation. However, I'm thinking you are going to want more lights and you want to be sure you have covered the correct spectra.

How many plants and what is the strain? My concern would be that they may overgrow the space.

There are others who know nutes much better than I.

Pics will help.

pictures on the way gotta run tho reinstating my drivers license. bbl today with some pics =)
