 First grow cfl bagseed sativa week 6 flowerIf the plant is nearly as tall as you (unless you are a dwarf) it is about 3 - 4 ft too high, for your lighting. I used to grow with CFLs (2x250w) and kept 4 plants between 1 and 2.5ft high. At 2.5ft I got 8oz off four plants, but the plants had lots of popcorn buds and were a nightmare to harvest. At 1-1.5ft I got 6oz off four plants, but the buds were better quality, with zero popcorn and the plants were easy to harvest (20-25 mins a plant). 
 
 Do some LST on your next grow and keep the plants smaller. You will get better results. Also look into topping / fimming, both these techniques really help when growing under CFLs.
 
 One thing you could do now to help, is bend that main cola to one side so that it is parallel with the bulb above it. Check out my 1st 2 grow logs to see how I used to position my lights (I was using 2x125w at the time those logs were made).
 
 edit: One more thing. Go easy on the food when using CFLs especially the PK13/14, because you have low light levels the plants consume less food and they do not need the same feed strengths as plants grown under 1000w HPS lights. Adding normal amounts of PK will just turn your stalks red and be bad for your health (I found I only need 1/3 dose of PK and 3/4 strength everything else).
