I found 24" T8 grow lights at Wal-mart for $11 bucks a piece and zip stripped them to the corners of my tent.
CFLs would work too but then you have to dink around with mounting and hanging but it would definitely help.

I can just slide them around the racks, and I have extra light hangers/ratchets I can use 
I'm thinking of doing two from each and maybe putting one in the corner.. extra 160w.
I'm really interested in doing on under neath the plants, at soil level, to light up the insides... Have you ever done something like that?
I have my plants growing along the edges... so I'm not sure if the t8 thing would work... could you post a picture of what you mean?

I see monster nugs in the future. As big around as your arm.

I get full lighting all the way around and added UVB also, that's the light in the center.
I have the 400w in a 3x3'. If you already have the cfls then go ahead and put them in there. More light the better.

I think I will feed them next watering... in a few days... full bloom nutes, and about 2ml grow nutes.. per gal... they are big plants, they can handle it.

As you can see in my pics though, I have a few main stalks zip tied to the corners!
temporary to get better use of space...I only have a 2x2.... so you have a little more room than myself
I gave away my cfls... I'm just going to go buy some... $8 a piece, $4 a shop light....
two shoplights, two adapters, two bulbs
$28 purchase
I'll just hold onto the cfls too..
I'm thinking about putting chicken wire around one and hooking the shop light underneath.. this way nothing grows too close to the cfls

So... Some grow updates..
Ive purchased a 42w 2700k CFL... I'm going to plug it in at soil level, and run it on a separate digital timer.. I figure this will be nice to give some light to the underneath canopy, so all that green is doing some work!
Also going to feed some full bloom nutes today (it is 1am), day 15.
expect photo update at the end of tomorrow...

its a sun master I think
I don't really like it as it's not a sealed hood! I had to seal with aluminum foil tape..
Look for a hood that has a built in gasket seal... thats what I'm going for next, maybe even a cool tube.
It's this new Mac
It uploads better than my PC but they came out sideways on RIU's end..

So guys.
I think I'm fucked. These plants want to keep growing and fucking GROWING. they are PAST 3x stretch on day FUCKING 16! It's a 70 day strain for fucks sake, probably no more than 30 calyxes on each plant, and they are already nearly 3 feet tall on day 16, when going into veg @ 10 inches.
I don't think I will be able to finish................................... FUCK this strain seriously. It's not a medium height attitude, it's a fucking TALL TALL ass plant.
Might just cancel my summer plans, and stay home to actually use the tent I spent $1,100 on.. just start AGAIN because this strain is so unstable and sucks balls.
.... and oh look, pictures are sideways again. fucking mac

Yup i had the same problem with stretching. My TD didnt stop stretch until about 2.5-3 weeks. So i had to do some LST. Nice looking grow you got going though.
I think i read somewhere about something you can use on plants to slow or stop stretching to keep em within grow spaces. I forgot what it was called.
