Well for the height of the plants pictured I figured it would be more root bound then the male roots pictured. The plants are just needing light and some soil probably to look right in my mind. The price of bulbs can get a pocket smaller for sure but if you compare just the cost of cfl replacement to HPS or MG and somehow work lumens and overall yield you will most likely end up at a hps for flowering and keep the cfl for side lighting, at least you didn't go and spend a bunch right away not really knowing what your style of growing will evolve into. I wish I would have got the 600w ac setup I was orig looking at vs the ac 400w I now have. I would only use CFL tho in a cardboard cab tho out of risk of fire. Oh and most people that have been on here for 0-6 months see tons of setups and to post to all of them would be a chore vs a pleasure so don't freak when you see 10,000 views and 50 responses. Try answering "what kind of bud is this" a few hundred times and you will understand.
