And sorry about that I've just been really freaking out about my girls.
To answer your light question from the other thread, no. My lights are not grow lights. There just basic T8 bulbs. I think its THESE, I had to look at Philips lighting crap cause I cant find them on HD.com

IDK exactly if your leaves pointing up is from lack of light but it looks like its doing the same thing my first plant did. Lights fixed it and it is obvious that your plants are waaaay underlit.

Exactly how much light? That kinda varies from peep to peep. I've read that during flower you need roughly 2000 lumens per sq foot during veg and 3000 during flower, but a very knowledgable vet on here recommends 5000 per sq foot in flower.

FYI, when I hold my light meter 3" from the fluoro tubes I get the same reading as when I hold it 3" from a 40w CFL. If you are going to use fluoros get plenty of tubes and when your plants start to get thicker with underbrush those CFLs would work great for dropping into a tight spot for extra light penitration down low, thats kinda hard to do with tubes so I use both.

More light = more growth was the very first thing I learned when I stumbled onto can.com.
