Tiny Grow Collapse-Need Help!

I am growing two plants in my cabinet in my room. I have 3 cfl 17 watt under cabinet lights attached to the top, foil around the sides, and my plants on the bottom. One plant is restrained so she doesn't hit the roof. The second plant is going to need it too. I first encountered trouble with them when I was trying to raise the temperature intheir environment from 60 to above 70.. With a space heater. I had it a few feet away but unfortunately I burnt some of the leaves closest to it. :/ then my next problem was the lighting. I started with two under cabinet lights and added a third. They all are attached by duct tape and keep falling down hurting my plants.. Last is their time schedule. I don't have a timer and I don't give them exactly 12-12 since they are supposed to be in their flowering stage...

I left the lights on all day today. So does that mean they're now back to the veg stage? Or does it mean they will become male plants? I need some help. The temperature problem is fixed since it's a lot warmer now. I'm kind of getting fed up with being so secretive with this grow in my room.

Would anyone suggest I move them outdoors and let nature grow them for me? I can find a location for them, its just the problem I wanted smaller faster plants to smoke soon.. Any help and or suggestions will be greatly appreciated! Thank you, all in advance!

Also, I considered cloning some of these branches on these plants and either starting from there in the cabinet or starting the clones outside. I may need some pointers if you guys think that could be a good idea to just start with 'newer' plants and fix the grow area. I got a little carried away since this is my first grow. :(

hmmm u left out some important info... esp how old they are. other than that, stressing them out like that in flowering esp in terms of light hours can drive them hermie. taking them out may also be problematic but perhaps less than otherwise. They will probably reveg unless you live in the southern hemisphere cuz it's spring now, and only start flowering late july. but then it depends on what stage you are. to grow well you need to put up just a little more cash and effort into it... no freebies here i'm afraid :\

Oh they were 4 weeks in veg and 3 weeks in flowering. What do you mean hermie? Both male and female? It is spring where I am too, so I guess that isn't a problem. I know putting cash up front is best, but I had a great set up for a beginner, my parents just destroyed my first technical grow. And second. This is my third and it's going well besides these obstacles.. I don't know if I have signs of being male or female on either plant. I can't really tell, I think the light cycle not being exact may have stalled them further and their temperature two weeks into flowering was around 60-65 degrees, also could have stunned my plants I think.

ok. please pay no mind to the mindless drones polluting this thread. so yes these problems can and will shock your plant, stunt your growth and may even cause it to go gay, which means self pollination which means seedless mj. not the end of the world if you grow for your own smoke but not cool either. anyway, you do what you can. i still wouldn't recommend taking it out. get a timer though. it's 5 bucks :)

btw i must warn that i have heard that growing mj in your parents house might make them lose their house and property in the big war. i dunno if this counts for micro grows but i'd try to learn and consider possible consequences if i were you. the enemy is always near.

Thanks dude. I think I'll keep these plants indoors and keep flowering the best I can. I'll also get a timer for them. They deserve it. (: isn't seedless weed good? Ill make sure I don't get them caught. I think two plants is minor compared to all the other kinds of busts cops could be working on that are more important. I'm just growing for myself to save a couple bucks. But at the shot I bought I don't think I'll have saved anything..

Ummmm, I think you mean that self pollenating will lead to seedy buds, not seedless

well i dont know much about you or your state/country, I can only advise that taking risks is ok sometimes if you think you can take the heat, but getting others involved is something that requires a lot more caution. You can never be sure you won't get caught - you can only make sure that you and those dear to you can handle the costs.

and yes that is also a problem with growing. i mean some guys can pull it off at very low costs... but i couldn't either. so i had to pull a big op just to justify the costs of getting it right. real pain. were your previous grows not successful enough to cover the costs?

And to be honest, if there are seeds in the bud I don't really mind. I could use them just as long as there would still be bid in the plants...

My previous grows were just little plants and they had about their third leaves at most and my parents found them.. Ha

You live with your parents and trying to grow in your bedroom and this is the third time, twice busted! This is a easy fix, try growing outdoors if you have the freedom of 24/7 self movement, Meaning you can go and do what you want,when ever you want or even a couple of hours to do what you want. Your parents are on to you, go outside with it and no not your parents back yard, get creative explore your neighborhood and surrounding area's, go to your grow during dark hours and don't tell anybody PERIOD that is a must. Don't take your friends to it, don't tell them about it or just give up until your paying your own way through life

Yeah man, that's what I'm going to do when these two plants are harvested. I wanna get some seeds and have an autoflower grow in the woods around my house.

We have all been there man. lol. as for the duct tape holding your lights up, use some k'nex or some pieces of wood to brace them up lmao something to aid the duct tape. then for next grow,(after the outdoor) , get the cardboard uhaul box and such that people are recommending up there ^^^^.

happy growing and good luck
