My feelings on this are that things will start to pick up in terms of growth, you just have to give it time. The first time i started seeds under fluoros it felt like eternity before they started to develop. I didnt have the luxury of knowing what CFL's were at the time but the key is to be patient. Once you get your first female, hold on to her, and dont let her flower. Let her Vegg for at least a month, more like 2 months, and use her cuttings and start cloning. They will develop much quicker than seeds, and will be genetic replicas of their mother. I would also consider investing in a HID light. You'd be surprised at how cheap you can get a 150 HPS at. Visit. High Tech Garden Supply and take a look at their grow lights. They all come with reflectors and a remote ballast, everything you need to take your grow to the next level! good luck! and ill be checking back in on this to see how your doing. P.s. the only problem with MG potting soil is that it has bad draining and all it needs is some perlite. Trust me my first grow was outdoors that began indoors and all i had to use was MG and perlite and i had a wonderful first harvest.
