I would start looking for screw in household LED bulbs to replace those cfl. You will get a lot more light for the same wattage and they are directional once you take the globe cover off.

Take a serrated knife and cut off the cover of one

Aye so wym why do that? What’s the purpose?

Because the globe is designed to diffuse light and without it your will get less loss and more directional light to the plants.
Some folks on here have illuminated fairly big tents with the same thing with great success.

Send your light at the plants and not the walls.

Appreciate that these were from some weed I smoked with a lot of seeds how soon can I tell gender and how??

Not until you flip bro, go from 18/6(18 hrs on 6 off) to 12/12 which will force them to flower, some strains will show presex around 6 weeks while still vegging but for your small space you're only gonna veg for 2-3 weeks before you flip.

You will find out that closet is much too small for ONE mature plant!
Shortest photoperiod plant Ive ever grown was 39 inches tall, quite wide also.

Somewhat strain dependent, maybe 6-8 weeks before it's apparent.
If you're under 24 hour lite, consider dropping that to 18/6 and a little blue in the light spectrum might get 'em to show their sex easier.
If there were alot of seeds, something pollinated the plant you got your seeds from, hopefully it was a "normal" pairing where a female plant and a male plant were involved and your seeds aren't hermie prone.

Blue Light Sexing
The flowering response in cannabis plants is triggered by plant hormone PFR changing to PR during a long dark cycle. This PR is returned to inactive and the flowering response is mitigated when the dark is interrupted by red light around 660 nm. Blue light also has the ability to retard flowering response but is less effective. When Blue LED or fluorescent light is the only light used on an 18:6 light cycle, the plants will slightly begin flowering but will continue vegetative growth. After sexing they can be returned to a full spectrum light at 18:6 to produce more robust vegetative growth and halt the flowering process. This method works well for high plant count gardens that would make using the clone and sex method a bit tricky. It can also be used with a full 24 hours of continuous light.

They're stunted most likely do to lack of light I would recommend an actual grow light, if you planted on January 18 they should already be ready to flip, they should look like the ones in RBGenes pic
