Ok guys, first of all forgive me for my language barrier since english is not my first language.

anyway, i have some question about my baby since this is my first time growing any plant ever in my life. which i didn't even planned at the beginning that it would turn out to be serious gardening for me.
Last Desember i threw a bunch of seeds from my weed i'd bought on my backyard and after about a couple of weeks i noticed that they are growing n there were 8 of them. so i moved them into pots n grow them indoor. (yet, only one survive until today. ) The following week i figured from the images i found on the internet if those are sativas, which is pretty common for that kind growing in southeast asia.
So, today it's about 6 feet tall from the soil. i use five 23 watts fluorescent bulbs on top and 1 about-2-feet-or-less fluorescent tube on the side attached to the wall. and i put the lights on for 12/12 cycle started about 6 weeks ago or more. luckily i started to see the female pre-flowering (they called those fuzzy little hairs 'pistils', right?) on the 4th weeks.

my questions are:
1. why don't they start blooming after i put it on the flowering stage for such period of time? because the pistils are stay the same size even though there are much more showing up.
2. am i being impatient or sativa takes longer to mature before it starts flowering? it keeps growing taller though.
3. should i add ultraviolet tube to make it bloom faster and better?
4. why the leafs at the bottom part keep turning yellow which later became brown n dry ? not many just a few. is it normal for the plant on the flowering stage?

i will appreciate any input. thanks for your time guys.
again, forgive my english.
