check out gettin a nice LED for grow/flower multi spectrum etc.. Blackstar, Kessil.. otherwise you have been given some good advise, I would look into finding a hydro shop/grow supply store and getting better nutes if possible.
happy growing

Looks like your bigger plant is getting a bit of fert burn. As for the new addition to the family, just keep up on what your doing.
I think it was already suggested and might be a bit late now that you have already invested in all thoes CFLs and fixtures but something like a 200W CFL works much better and is more accurate on the color temp that they list. a 6500k is closer to what it is than the smaller home CFLs

That's up to you. If it were me and I was going to shop for grow CFL's, I would get a 150W or larger CFL (not a 150w equivalent ). If you shop around you can get a good price. I can't remember where I got mine, I don't use them much anymore. I switched to T5's, but I do take them out from time to time. You would need the fixture that fits them too, if you go this route. I do see many peeps using the smaller home CFL's and they seem to be working but I do know the color temp of thoes lights are not what they say. You'll get better penetration and coverage with the larger ones. 500watt MH? I think you meen 400W mh. Most peeps use HPS to flower.

Okay 400 is what I thought but the guy whos ordering my light keeps saying 500 or 1000, but if I get 1000 I gotta rewire and stuff so 400 is just fine.
Can I flower with a MH? I know the soft white cfls will work for flowering but will useing the same light I used to veg to flower harm it or make it less strong of buds?

Could I buy these bulbs and put them in the lamp in this picture?
Look at the prices they seem very low

Yes you can flower with a MH fine. Using the lights you have to flower is fine too but your problem/solution is to keep things very short as the penetration of those light are not good. You will get airy buds not as tight nugs as if you use a stronger light.
The bulbs are on the cheap side because they are for normal lighting and not specialized for horticulture (color corrected/spectrum). But you can still use them ok. Just not as good as one giving the plant more of what it needs.Could I buy these bulbs and put them in the lamp in this picture?

You need to match the bulb wattage with the correct ballast.

UPDATE: 3/14/11
The leafs on the new plant seem to be getting more yellow, I watered it with 1 cup mixed with nutes today cause the soil was bone dry. The leafs have a lot if discoloration. Should I cut the leafs that are PURE yellow off?
The other plant is looking great.

I should be getting a 400 watt MH light and im going to try and get a HPS bulb to work in the same lamp. 
When I switch to 12/12 should I use the 400 watt HPS and the 100 watt MH? I figured itll give me the most of the spectrum from about
2100k HPS
2300k CFL
4000k MH?
Maybe even 6500k CFL?
To fix the nute burn im going to start mixing 3/4 of the recommend amount per gallon. That should help right?

Another note for mold. I used just plain baking soda and water. something like teaspoon/gallon I think.(google it) then rinsed it off with fresh water in bloom. Seems to cure it on stems, kinda on leaves. Harvested some dank with no problems to the buds. Some bad stems I just cut down early though. Also you need a ballast to run HID. Look on craigslist man. Im getting a 1000 watt (which can easily grow a half pound. easily!) for $80, probably less than u spent on ur bulbs.

HELP!!!
Ive got bugs
They are tiny tiny tiny mites or something.
There 1/4 of the size of a grain of sand and are a light brown almost orangish.
I noticed them mostly on the pot not the actual plant.
Should I get a bug spray? Organic right?
If I spray her now it shouldn't affect the buds in a month right?

Okay...
Last night I pulled my plant out of the room to inspect / remove leafs. As I was removing them I noticed the bugs on the all over the top of the pot, like 200 - 500, and a few actually on the plant.
Today I cant find a single one on my big plant or pot but very few on the other plants pot, like maybe 4 I saw.
I defiantly want to get a spray to get them now.
Any suggestions on sprays to help remove Spider Mites?

Maybe a stupid question, but how do spider mites get on indoor plants? What causes them?
