i now have a 5/6 week old plant that i have been growing in my box, using at first 1 23 watt CLF and now 2 CLFs (a whole 2!!) attempting too use the LST method because of huge space issues (i intend too keep the entire grow in this box!)

i read you can acctualy go 12/12 from seed so about 3 weeks into veg i swopped too 12/12 -my plant has now been in 12/12 for 19 days and is not showing any signes of sex? i read on other topics this could be a light leak problem-i dont think i had any lightleeks but if i did they have been fixed now, i have also bought a timer so my babies get exatcly the right light scedual.

here is my questions-does my plant look satvia dominant? (unknown bagseed of good quality) do these take longer too show sex than indica? also going 12/12 so early in the plants life, does this make it longer too see sex? i just want too check im not doing anything terribly wrong, the 3 seedlings have been 12/12 from seed. i also noticed some brown spots on a couple of leaves, on the serated edges.

the grow box temp is around 82, and has a computer fan for ventilation.

just looking for some general advice really im afraid my growbox is as big as its getting so i dont exspect miricles, i would be happy with 2 grams per plant, this is purly a science project really:P can i exspect too get ANY bud out of these? i intend too add a 3rd CLF and extra computer fan soon.

thank you for any help and advice.

ps.unsure where too post this so have posted here and in "basic growing"
leaves look green and healthy but stalk looks very spindly... this is because of lack of sufficient lighting... you need to get yourself a box that is just like a foot taller or those plants might not be able to flower in that box without curling against the top of it and hitting the light and stuff like that... i have a pretty small box myself... it is like 30 inches side to side, 30 inches front to back, and about 4 foot tall so when i harvest my plants they will only be about 2.5 feet tall because of my large clay pots and lights. but i also am learning. my first plants are only about 6 weeks old and they are almost 16" tall... they were outside for the first 5 weeks or so and now inside on a 24 hours of light becuase i just finished the box. also if it helps i'm also using cfls and i've learned that "daylight" bulbs are best for vegetation and "soft white" or "warm white" are better for flowering stage... i had 13 bulbs in my box including a huge 68 watt soft white that cost me $15... i have a combination of strategically mixed daylight and soft white bulbs for maximum efficiency... if you want pics let me kno and ill show ya... ok a couple extra thoughts... also i have the entire inside of my box covered with foil and foil tape... you should do this or use something white... and do not let any light leak into the box while in "lights off" time or i hear your plants can become hermies and produce weak seedy bud hope i helped bud... btw i just joined this forum and this is my first interaction on here!
