Next time wait a bit longer before you switch to 12's. Your leaves shoult at least touch the edge of the pot. Your soil looks like it needs a bit more perlite or vermiculite. Careful not to overwater, this will cause the plants growth to slow.

well look for the little white hairs I'm really stoned and i can't remember what they r called but u should be seeing those within the first week...if you see any pod looking things with no white hairs then u have a male...I dunno if u already new that but u asked what to expect and thats what I would expect and even though they r small they will probably still double in size before u get buds

You should expect your plants to double in size at least and start looking for those pre-flowers in a week or so to determine sex.

Also, WTF are those little plants growing in your pots? Weeds? Of the unwanted kind...?

with the soil you got just find out what a garden weasel does and make your self a little tool. it will get air to your roots. and i want bigger plants when i go flower

they look pretty healthy i noticed some leaf burn and i can't really tell u for sure what caused that but i'd say possibly overwatering possibly causing a nitrogen deficiency also i would say that getting more aerated soil that drains better using perlite or something similar would help. I haven't grown in soil bf so I'm doing my best....but they don't look bad man i'd say you probably get some buds off those i mean they are small but you obviously knew what size they were when u switchd so i dont need to tell you that and im sure u realize the longer u veg the more bud u get when u switch so basically what im saying is they look decent and you'll probably get a little bit of bud out of em

everything is way way behind schedule it looks to me as if theres only 3 or 4 nodes?! that long for a month and half of vegging? mine are that big like at the 10day pt.? .. n e who ... not here to bash u and say ur horrible but if i were u i wud use shop lights the fixture is 9 bucks from wal-mart p[lusu gotta get the 4ft bulbs thast go in it ....wuts ur temp?? ..using any nuets? ...if not.. than u shud be... what kind of water are using... what was the light schedule for them during veg stage? ..24/0 is HIGHLY reccommneded since ur only using cfls and the fact they can grow 33percent more from 240/0 rather than 18/6 ...and IMOP 16/8 is retarded ....but u shud read some tihngs and researched a little bit

Well the whole name of this game is "" Hurry up and wait "" then you get to cut them down and groom them,, then you " Hurry Up and wait " some more to cure them . Then you "Hurry up " and smoke them , Then you plant some more to "hurry up and watch a seed crack , then grow and start all over ... So while your waiting .. How about sining us a song .? entertain us ..... Got any naked pics of your sister or girlfriend ? cause 8-10 weeks is a LONGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG TIME
