Update: I havent been posting up since no real changes have happen but no they did my Cotton Candy has shown signs of sex, and its a girl a lot of white hairs on multiple tops bad news was that i had her in some soil that had too much fert and was giving my plant burns so i had to transplant to some organic soil i jacked from my mom.. Sorry Momma
so i plan on buying some super thrive today and giving her that so she wont stress out too much. the first two plants are my cotton candy and last but not least is the Liberty haze doing its thang

If you are going to flower with cfls and are worried about airy buds try to incorporate some blue(6500k) with your red(2700k) and this will help to make your nugs denser as it gives a broader light spectrum and that is what the plants need.And definatley try to ge your cfls closer to your plants as this will minimise your veg time.P.s. lovely looking plants and good luck with your grow.

Maby I can help ?? One plant needs about at least 50 W of CFL's ( compact flouresent lights) since you are on a low budget choose warm white 27w , 4 of them. Then usual potting soil and rain or bottle water. Get your self a heat blanket from a drug store. Line the box out with your heat blanket and put up the lights in n vertical way 2 on the top and 2 to the sides. Get your self a PC fan but remember they run in 12V DC so get a old charger that's output is 12V DC.. Then you soak the seeds for 12 hours in water and then plant them run the lights 24 hours for the first week and the 18/6 hope you get it right and sorry if I left anything out, aint very good in English

Don't worry about what got burned from cfl in my limited experience with CFL buds that get the ti burnt don't grow that shoot any longer but they make up for it in fatness.
