with what? cover the walls on the side with white paint. and get the lights closer(anyone tell me if im wrong) about 3-4 inches away from the plant. oh and when you change it to 12/12 get a high pressure sodium lamp with a reflective hood. 600w works great.:thumbsup: and going cheap is not the way to go. count on spending $150-200 on the light. any more questions?:rastasmoke:

You need to read some grow FAQ's, find the FAQ forum on this site.
Anyway, here are some basics:

Pull your male plant, he will mess up your crop by pollenating the females.

Switch to 12/12 very soon as your amount of lighting will not reach much of the lower parts anyway.

You MUST make sure that they have 99+% darkness during the dark period.

Your lights should be 1-3 inches from the plant tops. Read some CFL threads.

Tie your plants down so most/all the tops are at the same level and therefore close to the light. Read LST thread.

Change nutrients to flower formula and maintain appropriate PH, see nute FAQ.

Add some lights with the lower kelvin color (2700K) for flowering, this mimics fall light for better yield, see light FAQ.

Your lights, though not super strong will do fine for a small grow. Try to get 50watts (real watts, not incandescent equivalent watts) per square foot, but the more the better. Again, see light FAQ.

This will give you some idea, but read, read, read, read and read some more.

Good Luck!

Yeah, Bulster pretty much said it all. Except Mylar plastic works better than painting.

frstly tahnks for critique
today I changed light system.
I made reflector from computer case
my pulbs are 220w (total)
1- 85w 4900 lumen day light
3 x 30w 1400 lumen day light
2 x 23 w yellow light cfl

Can't really see, but it looks like you have a problem with the leaves on the big one?

Also, if I were you I would switch those 3 x 30w bulbs to yellow (2700k) at start of flower.

Nothing is FLIR proof!!!! It find a heat source and leaves a signature. A heat signature.Nothing reflects heat without absorbing it first.. Thus the signature!
