ok this is my first time grow... i have 4 purp plants about 2 and a half weeks in... i have em in my closet... i have 3 300 watt CFLs about 8-10inches above the plants.... i just added 2 120 watt spotgro growlights about 2ft above my plants along with my CFLs still at 10inches... i also have 2 fans one exhausting and one pullin in fresh air... i jus need your opinions on if i have the right setup and any other tips u guys have... please help with your input..
 
you need to get those clfs closer to the plants. use you hand as a judge, if its uncomfortable to hold you hand there then its too close. Most of the time you can get clfs within 1-2 inches of the foliage.

remember light intensity quickly diminishes with distance.

plants look lovely tho. gl
 
your plants do look very good but i do have a couple of comments. ive been in this game for a long time now and ive never seen 300w cfls. and those grow spot lights you have going straight up look like flood lights?? its good to know what and how many watts your running just for personal benifit. you should drop those lights to about 1-3 inches away from your plants and get at least 3 more warm white cfls when you go to flower. im sorry you wasted you cash on those flood lights. you would have been better off with just getting more cfls. half cool white and half warm white will work wonderfully for you once you goto flower. for what you have your plants are looking great but they could be so much better if you at least brought your lights closer to your plants. you'll be happy you did at least do that. peace.
