My first grow

I know this is nothing special and yes it doesnt really look good at all but its really all i can work with at the moment :cry:considering im still living with my parents and have to keep it as stealthy as possible because if they found it i would be in BIG shit haha, the plant in the beige pot is a motherplant, my friend purchased some white widdow seeds and he also received 10 free seeds but it didnt say what kind they were, but they came from amsterdam. the other plant is a clone my buddy gave me about 3-4 days ago i have seen some improvement in its growth since i have received it, my lights i am using are one of those 13 watt energy saving bulbs and i think a florescent light with a reflector, the whole computer is tinfoiled, yes i know this setup and my plants suck but when they get bigger and the weather gets a bit better i will be putting them outside since i own alot of land i live out in the country, ill update the pics preety often. By that way that 2 litre bottle full of liquid you see in there is a home made C02 generator , i found out how to make it online made it 2 days ago didnt really notice a difference so far.

shouldnt be flowering that early, you must have it on a 12/12 cycle,raise it up too 18/6...and get them closer to the lights

put them on 18/6 light cycle for a couple weeks and stick em outside. you could transplant them outside now since you live in the country and own lots of land and they growth would sky rocket.
 
I had it on 24 hour light for sometime, that clone is flowering because i got it off my friend and he cloned his plant when it started flowering therefore it looks like that, but i read that 24 hour light is bad and can stress the plants so tomorrow im going to start 18/6 thanks for the info guys, i have change the lights, i took out the bigger light which i thought was a fluorescent but is inface a CFL U shaped light, it was throwing off too much heat and the clone was under heat stress since the tips were turning brown, i read another thread and someone said that symptom was heat stress, i now have two 13 watt CFL's in it they add up to 60 or 70 watts each and put out 3000k lumens each, is that enough lighting? my fans i have in it havent been working but i open the door very oftenly in the day time and the plants do not seem affected, theres a hole about 2 inches high by 3 inches wide int he back and i have a fan on my ceiling running all the time so i guess its getting some circulation, im looking for another lamp or two so i can take them apart and put the fixtures in the growbox to add more CFL lights, i would like to have them in it for about another week possible two because the weather here is acting very weirdly, it snowed may 31st! i live in Ontario,Canada, the weathers been really crappy so in a week or two it should be back to normal therefore is when i will transplant these into 5 gallon pales and stick them in the bush and watch em grow alot better, thanks again for the help guys,any more suggestions?
 
UPDATE

I have changed the lighting in the box, i know the fluorescent fixtures doesnt really fit and its sideways but im sure it will still do the job, and i also still have that CFL up there at the top, im sure this lighting will be fine for the next week or two, i will be switching to 18/6 tomorrow.
