First and foremost a mans set up and management can say a lot. Im no one to judge but i refuse not to drop the polish and hopefully it pollinates your grow life. #The "aluminum" foil can and will burn your baby plants and plants in general. Do to small beem lighting.#The "cardboard" is a hazard
because it can and will catch
on fire.Thus it will retain
moisture and heat and can cause
molding as well. #You need
about 6 more cfls thats straight
to the point. #I know that "top
light" only holds about 500
lumens. That needs replaced
and im sure its a 2700k
flowering spectrum bulb. You
need at least 125w or 6000-
10,000 lumens 6500k daylight warm white bulbs per sq ft., for
one plant life. You are
experiencing some stretching
of plants meaning Not Enough
light for them and light is too
far away. You can grow out in the open until you get the right layout for your plants. You seem like you have the right mindset so that means you have to do it proper with polish. I recognize the situation. All you do for now is get your plants morw lights asap. They look like they have enough water to last a week so be careful to check the weight time to time to see if they are light in weight. If so they need water. If the pots are heavy let they dry out. Or submerge a half of finger in the soil to check or about 2" in to check.

The plant on the right looks pretty bad. Get rid of the foil, I agree with guardian. If it's a box, spray paint it white. If you're using nutrients, use 1/4 to 1/2 of recommended dosage.

There are so many options for micro grows, but without anyone knowing your limitations, budget, etc, it will be difficult to give ideas. Just google micro grows, alot of ppl grow in old PC boxes.

In regard to when they will show sex, ot all depends on the maturity of the plant. A plant is normally only sexually mature when it has alternating growth. Only then it will show sex. 12/12 from seed wont magically show you sex in the first few days. The plant needs to be ready.

Those plants also look a bit stretched. Have u got a fan blowing on them?

You might also want to read up on how to bury them deeper.

Keep it up. Its hard in the beginning. Almost gave up at some stage. But perseverance and reading as much as you can is key
