ok so the lights came on at 7 and when i woke up i went to check on them and had forgotten about 2 clones i took and jus set beside the other ones and they are doing great lol when i found them they had grown like 6 inches and i took the clones about 2 weeks ago.... but anyways i lowered the lights and got to looking around closely and realized that there are tiny buds already trying to start all over one of my plants and im gettin a mix between red and white hairs, is this good or bad or neither, but its just tiny so its hard to see but idk we will jus wait and see how they turn out.... once again any advise would be appreciated :) thanks

you shouldnt be seeing any red hairs at this point.. white hairs are called pistils. They are there to catch pollen. They are the first step of buding. If you want a better yield buy better lights.

for the number of plants you have you should definely have more lights if you want to reach 6 ozs. I vegged my plants for 3 weeks and they were the same size as yours. I had a 400 watt hps. Also, looks like you're using tin foil on the walls. You should take that down unless you want to risk hot spots..

YOu need more side picks also the best thing you can do to increase your yield is to get more grows under your belt. The last thing you want to do is worry about how much your going to get, for one you will be depressed if you dont meet your goal. The easiest thing a n00b grower can do to get fat buds is buy more lighting and get with HID now. As long as you get the HID on the last month your fine. No way to guess without even seeing flowers yet thats like drawing a picture of a plant and guessing. Dont water the plants until they need it and start your nutes off way lower than what it states on the bottle or bag and get more lights and you will be fine. You will learn as you go but for now even with no skills you can buy at least a 600w hps to step up your game. http://www.dchydro.com/category/BST0/Grow-Light-Ballasts/

site has cheap plantmax bulbs for less than 30 dollars if you dont want to get the sun master bulbs at first
