MINI homebox CFL 12/12 from seed- White Label Skunk#1 and NL both Feminized

Hello RIU community
This is my first grow experience. Today is day·1, both girls sprouted this morning, looking very healthy so far.
I got them in 1lt pots with canna seed mix and no nutes. Temperature oscilates between 25C and 28C (77-82F). I got no fan and no humidity meter but they should get here soon.
I was originally going to grow with Hans LED panel but since it hasnt gotten here and I need to get this grow to end by mid january i deceided to go ahead and do it with CFL's all the way. Its gonna be a good learning experience and i will apply whatever i get out of it to my next grow whith leds because ill be using the same soil and strains.
For this grow i bought a minibox from Homebox which is very small, i only have 30X30X90cm, but as i said, im not aiming for big yield, just to get some experience.
I have both of my babies under 12/12 with 2x 65w(real) 6500k CFLs. Once they start showing sex I will change them to 2lt pots with Plagron batmix, get the 6500k's out and install 3x 65w 2700k to flower. I will not change my set up as i dont wanna spend more money on it.

My objectives are:
Stay stealthy and not let Wifey or anyone else find it.
Figure out a nute schedule (i have no clue how im supposed to use them)
Find out how to make DIY Activated carbon filter which should be ready when it starts to smell.
Finish my master's thesis before my grow ends

looking good bro i wouldnt use any nutes till about 3 to weeks the soil and the seedling have eneough nutes to get it into 2 week of veg with out a prob also this depends on the size of ur pots. nice set up bro i like. yes def get acarbon filter if u want to keep it stealthy that should be ur next investment light and ventalation should be ur two main prioraties bro. the nute scheadul just fallow what the bottles say bro then after a few grows u can start messing around with how much u want to add at certin times and what not but im grtting alittle to much into it now. im blazed lol

Thanks Bro,
I found the nutes schedule laying somewhere in my basement but i dont remember having seen it before.. i was probably stoned when i bought them hahahahhaha!
thanks for the advice!
I have two layers of Activated carbon 6x6in and about half n inch thick, i will fin a way to atach on of them to my pc fan as soon as it gets here.

Day·2
Saturday and in laws are coming to spend the weekend at my house!
I cant take pics until theyre gone. shit i cant even look at my babes until wifey goes back to work on moday morning! I just hope they dont stretch too much and burn ...
Have a good weekend guys!

Day·3
So today my in laws are gone and wifey isnt home , time to spend some time with my other girls.
I watered the Skunk #1 today for the first time with hesi tnt, root complex, power zyme and super vit, all grow nutes, PH 6ish. my soil had no nutes at all. My NL doesnt need water for a couple of days. I could see roots through the holes in the bottom of the both pots. babies look good! no signs of stretching.

Day·4
No News, pretty much all the same. I can now see the second set of leaves from the Skunk#1 coming out. They are both still pretty small but you can already tell the differences between them. One CFL was out this morning i dont know why, i replaced it and its all going good again. Tent is open and i have a fan blowing in there qhile the lights are on until my pc fan gets here or wifey gets home .

Day.6
NL got 1 tip burned with the cfl. The Skunk #1 seems to be ahead in developing. I watered the NL with Nutes for the first time since it sprouted.
