Man, hang those lights like 2 inches above your plants. I don't know if your plant is stretching already or not, but either way having the lights closer will prevent further stretching.
iight thanx manQuote:

yeah thats what i did i had a few books and now there 2" from the lights
How much light should i have on them when i move them into 12/12
Depending on which turn female, 5,000 lumens per square foot or more for good results. I have about 280 watts for three plants and its working way better than I expected :thumbsup: Just give it some time and you should know if they like the amount of light :stoned:
Kool i will post pix of my plants every week so you can see how they are doin to
those lights should do nicely for the 2 plants. but few things:
1) get the tips of the plants within 2-4 inches of the lights.
2) trim the rim of the containers to soil level, or it hampers airflow severely
3) make sure there are drainage holes at the bottom of the containers, or your gonna run into a bunch of issues later.
yup i put the plants 2" from the light and i have drain holes but im going to cut the side of the containers right now thanxQuote:

Put the lights closer to the tops of the plants but check the temps.where you place the lights.Make sure you got that fan on for them.Even though cfl's burn cooler it can still get kind of hot for them if you don't have a fan blowin'.Good Luck.
Also a fan lightly blowing on them should make the plant develop a strong stem, to keep them from falling, breaking or leaning once they get weight on them.
i couldnt help but notice that your lights look like they are 2700k.... for growth you are going to want 5600-6500 k CFL.
you will notice the differance.
