To make sure what's wrong.
Hi All and evening picture update...well it's my evening.
Some random bud shots.

May as well talk about some problems now.
I am losing tons of leaves from the bottoms now. There is a good reason. You may not have noticed that you never see the lights and the CFLs on at the same time. My circuit beaker kicks off every time I turn them on together.
I have tried every combination I can think of and it always kicks. I will continue to work on this, believe me.
The other big problem is the girls are just going every where and the lights can't cover them all. I've super cropped and tied them up where I can. I will probably harvest the ones that are ready and then pull the others under the lights and hopefully they will finish.
I bought a big switching device and will install it soon as I figure it out. If it works like it should, both my ballast will be running off 240v and that will free up a 120v plug. Then hopefully I can run both types of lights together.
Obviously the next run, I will have the girls more under control as to size and hopefully use my lights better.
Funny thing is I'm not going crazy...I expected many problems on this first run. It will work out sooner than later. Practice...Practice.
Where'd the Matterhorn GO? All I see is Cannabis print wallpaper
Now don't go plugging your finger in any light socket that isn't off.. I know how you like to get buzzed..
I have never grown tall ladies.. so the problems you've found yourself in is still a bridge not yet crossed for me.
I'm sure you'll find a comfortable plant size or technique to try to keep the light at it's sweet spot... I think I learned from you to Fim from as early as the 4th node..
Great to see you having these experiences now, trial and error makes for a better grower right!?
Take care my man, Love respect and trust!
I think Norcaliwood put it really well. Unfortunately, it's a way of life indoors to have those bottom leaves die off a little. I do pull them off and keep the bottom trimmed up - it's about the only trimming I do most of the time - those bottom leaves that start to die. It's tough to get enough light down there as Wood said. Your plants still look amazing and really green and healthy - You must have a million buds. Should be a long trim party!
Good idea Shaggie!
I don't have a picture, but I do have a link to it here,
Hopefully 420 will let me do that. Not sure they are a sponsor. After reading the instructions, there is no way I can wire the thing. In fact they suggested that an electrician should do it. Even though they say it's 40 amps, it's actually 50 amp. My house wiring will have to be updated for it. That will be a while down the road.

. Your girls are looking beautiful. 
Sure Man, I'm open to ideas. Thanks.
Nice piece of hardware OMM. If your not real comfortable with working electricity then get an electrician for sure. It sounds like you'll be doing an upgrade anyway. Just have the electrician hook it up at the same time. Then you won't have to worry about getting fried or burning your house down,
Hey Buddy!
I've built hundreds of computers and wired my own stereo components, but this is allot of amperage, so I am bit leery. I think I will probably let the electrician do the whole thing like you suggested. Of course I have to make a bit of money first, so it may be a while.
Thanks, I couldn't be happier about the girls.
I have done some wiring for temp controllers (for my smoker) and for the GR lighting/fans/etc. But anything in the electrical panel I don't mess with. I leave that to the pros, I like my hair the way it isHey Sisco!
You can only see the Matterhorn from the outside now.
The Cannabis print wallpaper is covering the walls inside now.
I stopped putting my finger in the sockets....was getting real jittery. Like a bad sativa high.
You got it man, new experiences. You know I'm loving this. Already putting together my next plan of attack on the Matterhorn. Little bitty FIMed plants.
No long vegging anymore.
I hope some day you get a place where you can grow tall ones...it's different for sure. Hello to the family my friend.
You're gonna need them.
