help and advice on my grow room setup using cfl's.

alright. so i got 6 bubba kush plants that i got as clones. when i got them they were put under 3 13 watt 4000k cfl bulbs in styrofoam cups. since then, theyve been transplanted into 1 gallon pots with fox farm ocean forest soil. im not using any nutrients but im using this stuff called insect frass? haha now i have them under the long cfl bulbs. they are 28". one is 20 watt 2700k. the other ones a 17 watt 8000k long bulb. an i still have a 2700k regular cfl on them. theres plenty of roots and they are all about a foot tall. i also have a small fan in there to keep circulation. when can i start flowering? hows it sound?anything i can do to improve? this is my first grow and i didnt wanna just have one plant! xd hopefully it pays off!

I don't think that 8000k light is doing much, regardless you will need more watts in the right spectrum (~6500k for veg and ~2700k for flowering) especially in flowering.

well theyre not 20 watts. theyre 20 watt equivalent. theyre each equivalent to about 200 each

and i was reading on another post that purple light is good and thats the color the 8000k is putting off so i thought itd be good.

No, they're not.

If they were, people would actually use them.

Get some nutes before your plants die, and get a real light before you flower.

It doesn't matter what they are equivalent to. The real actual wattage is what matters.
