Well you can switch to 12/12 any time you want. The longer you veg the bigger your plant will be. Plants double in size after switching to 12/12.
The plants look good but like they look to be streaching. Put your light closer to them. It looks like a MH glow..you can go pretty close w/ a MH depending on watts. .
As far as the brown tips and drying..there are many things that can cause that. My guess would be mag. diffeciency. That always starts in the tips.
What are you using for ferts? I agree with skunky way too much stretch. Your plants are going to fall over once they get tops on them. Better get some big sticks to tie them to. Your fan is too close to the plants. They don't need that much air current.
Put more hydroton in the pots and cover up whatever you rooted them in. Your going to need the support. Are these sativa?

i'm def no expert, but from what I have read. If that is tinfoil it may be causing your brown spots.

no way is it from the tin foil, those plants are stretching enough to get light.

They look good either stretch or mostly sativa. If that's tin foil get rid of it and go to wally world for space blanket, it's just like mylar only cheaper..

Maybe you saw what happened to me. Not too bad. Going for month 4 of 24 probate tomarrow. They will let me go early. California Dreaming. Already looking for a place out there. Hope to see more of you.

Something does not add up 3 420 , that not a hps it not a mh. Now if its one of them fuky envirolets, thats your problem.
If a bulb says it puts out a x watt of light, but uses x watts. You use the watts it uses. 60 watt cpf uses 13 watt and puts out 13 watts of power. To save you plants , get some more lights and cpf can be put about 3 in from the top of the plant.
Remember a stealth grow only works till you plug it in.
Get a 400 watt mh or hps bulb , that should kick them in the buds.
and do not use 24 hrs when growing, and 12/12 of blooming must be totaly dark, no light what so ever.
One thing just poped in to my mind , if you have not sexed them they could be males , as males grow , real fast.
