Not enough light?

What kind of lights are you using

actualy ther getting alot of light, plants with long stems usualy lack light. ones that have about 4-5 nodes with leafsets and are only about 5-6 inches or 7 inches tall (like you see in this pictures) usualy are getting the full dose of 12/12 light, good grow... HERE IS MY PLANT SO YOU ARE NOT DISCURIDGED

well, actually, 12/12 is for when you want to start flowering, right now, i have them under 3 26w daylight cfl's with homemade reflectors( the original relfector is a round one the sits around the base of the light, with a 2 foot wide, folded in half length of aluminum foil, all the way around it, and taped around the reflector), and when i can, i take my babys outside for fresh air and sunlight( i live in the sticks). they get 24 hours of light, minus the timeit takes to take them outside( i have 10 plants, in 5 pots, roots seperated by cardboard( i just did that 3/4 days ago...

Thanks for the posts guys, i really appreciate the help

The change in environment is probably putting to much stress on them.
