If i were you id go to wally world and get 6 to 8 26w cfls, some clamp lights, and some y's. Hook that plant up with some side lighting and maybe a coupel up top. If you want you can take the reflecters off and your temp wont go up that much. Youve gone this far might as well have something to show for it. The buds might be a little airy but its still bud. good luck
Your yield will be small and the buds will run on you. Where do you live? Hell I can give you a few flourescent 40W fixtures. For that size space I'd recommend 4 flourescent shop lights standing vertical in each corner and one or two horizontal, that would probably be enough. The twisty lights produce a lot of heat and there have been safety issues with the cheap ones, only get GE if you go that route.
A friend has another 65waatt blue spectrum and a 45watt red spectrum I can use. I just think it would be a waste getting rid of them at this stage, atleast now I know better for next time. Ill continue growing and see what happens and pushit ill try and hook up some side lighting for below canopy but it might be a problem as they have pretty much filled out my cupboard and lights may be too close and burn leaves. I'll see how it goes. Thanks again.
They're stretching because they are searching for more light, as another poster said here either scrap it or get more lights because you will get nothing with that set up.
I havent had time to post but ive rescently borrowed some more lighting from a friend so now theyre under, 2 x 45w red spectrum cfl and 2 x 45w blue spectrum. they are flowering nicely and are already producing orange pistills. i think the stretching has stopped but before i put the extra lighting there was quite alot of steretch and ive had to bend and tie down some branches so the full canopy can recieve light. ill upload some pictures as soon as i get a chance.
here are some pictures taken this morning
