First Indoor Grow, Rubbermaid Micro CFL/LED

I'm using a 30g sterilite as of now. Think I may do a full veg/flower in rubbermaids till I get a tent setup in my closet.

I have two of these for LED's just screwed to top of lid. 2x 18w LED Panels

There are also 4x 23w(5000K) and 2x 23w(3500k)

I also have a 42w (2700k) currently not using may wait till flower to throw this one in.

Querkle bagseed, wapa clone(the biggest one), then Tahoe OG, Fire OG, and Headband clockwise from the wappa.

How does my setup look to you guys? Should I raise my pots or lower my lights?

Gonna be using Dyna-Gro for nutes. Also have another 30g to double height down the line if needed.

Had them all in this setup with a cpl CFL's (not pictured) before today.

Any input appreciated thanks all for taking a look.

Wow - I'm definitely following this grow. I'm intrigued to see how it turns out, given your light setup.

I would quickly raise your pots so that the top of each plant is no more than 2 inches from the cfls - it's hard to tell how close they actually are from the pics.
The 5 seedlings look like they're suffering a bit but the clone looks great.
 
Thanks guys, raised em up a lil bit. Do you need to have them that close even for those like 65+watt CFLs like 2-4 inches?

Still trying to decide if I should get a dimmable 1000w HPS or some sort of LED for the heat/power savings for the tent down the line.

All of em are clones cept the 2 on the far right which are querkle bag seed. You can see from the older pictures the clones haven't done much in the last couple weeks excluding the Wappa. I think the seedlings are gonna pass em up, Thought it was lack of light we'll see if they start moving now.

Thanks for comments and looking in <3
 
Oh I also took out the 2 23w 3500's and put in the 42w 2700 cause I read in one of the stickies that 3500-4000's don't give off much usable light.
