many folks around here add more to that.
make sure you pots have good drainage as well.
good source of growing info
found in this link.
LOL, r24 Ur link is gone, the one 2 ur site, where u'v copied the old OG FAQ, which is full of inaccurate/misleading/just plain bad info...it's a start, but too much of it isn't helpful, imho. Well here's an example below

And about florescent lighting.
on the bulbs, be sure to find a bulb with the highest color number

The reason being, throughout the year the plants outside receive more 6500K light because the days in summer are long and hot and as Autumn/Winter gets closer the day gets shorter, and gradually receives less 6500K light and more 2700K light as the plant flowers. Do what you can to avoid bulbs within that 3500K 4000K because they emit very little light that Is useful to your plant.
Instead of parroting info that is clearly inaccurate, meebe do some research r24, b4 acting like what's about is fact. Show me a factual spectral output on those CFL 3.5k-4.5k, Y don't U? wavelength by wavelength micromoles/m^2 readings if u can
?
For the OP, there is so many inaccuracies being throw @U, I suggest what I do in other threads full of this kind of poor quality info...go read up UB's thread on RIU, buy a book on plant culture as UB rec's. then go ask him some questions starting with *all* the info U can put into ur initial post.
Try moving farther away from the plants/leaves/soil ur taking pix with that Nikon PnS digicam, or figure out what the limitations of range R on the macro function. Then crop your larger images down to the specific part U want to show/post b4 uploading them, they will be more in focus if u do that.

Most of U prolly forgot the best tread on the grow forums on the old PG (until mods, broke it up into disorganized pieces) with title 'why I feel U shouldn't use peat moss' or something like that. UB, likely won't admit where he first saw the link to hort. myths, that I posted on PG :D (ego, u know). UB would not agree with the section on peat moss/eviro damage in the link he posted on his PM thread.:

Frank offers solid, simple info which is what you need. There's plenty of info on the web about plant culture. Aside from guys like Mel Frank's hard copy, I'd stay away from cannabis forums or at least take them with a grain of salt. There's too much confusion and hype and that's not what you need to succeed. Anyone can flip a timer, not many will take the time to understand what makes a plant tick.
Here's another site that dispels alot of horticultural myths,
a must read at this link:

^ I won't be so enthusiastic as UB, good read, but don't 100% completely agree (and neither does UB if he took the time to think about it, remembered the PG peat moss thread
) I also have MF's Indoor Growers Guide, and for the n00b, the plant problem diagnosis section is quite confusing. Learning what makes ur plant 'tick' as UB suggests is
not that easy, and he doesn't get it right himself, until he works on a problem after some failures...he won't admit that either :P
For instance, UB says 'welcome to Master Gardeners Guild' if u have dark green leaves. In general, perhaps. Diff. strains have dif. phenotype expressions of color of leaves. With orchids, if you have dark green leaves, too dark, ur plants are not getting enough light- usually...they should be 'Islamic Green' in color if @max health, not a 'Master Gardener Guild' if u don't recognize that.
After a while, people are just going to ignore it, like I did, like I do most TV commercials.
I'm just curios, what about his pics made you think he needed more light?
