In the past, I grew outdoors. This is my first indoor grow, however, I’ve done a lot of research on indoor growing to prepare.

I have two 23 watt (2700K) (no hoods) and one 68 watt (2700K) (has hood) CFL twisty bulbs, for a total of 114 watts. Being that the bulbs are 2700K instead of 6500K, they are not recommended for vegetative growth; however they are all I have. Miracle grow potting soil (first week), then switched to FoxFarm Ocean Forest. I'm using miracle grow as nutes.
I have a small non-oscillating fan and I'm using tin foil and white plastic as reflection. I have a Milwaukee PH Meter and an Acu>rite Thermometer/Hygrometer.

I am growing 2 Pineapple Express and 3 Sour Diesel from seed, so there could be males.

I’d like to get a 150 watt HPS for flowering, the cost is around $90.00. However, I may as well, get an entire grow system, so that I’m doing things right.

I don't expect a big harvest; I'm hoping that I can get enough to last until my next harvest. I'll be taken clones for the next grow.

After three weeks, the five look very small. The first week, I gave them 24/7 light and then switched to 18/6. I water them when the top of the soil is dry; I also mist them with water daily. I started giving them half dosage nutes after two weeks. Also, I added a little Vital Earth’s All Purpose Guano Mix and Vital Earth’s Mega Worm Earthworm Castings on top of the soil and then watered in.
Two weeks in, I topped two of them; they had three branches and 5 leaves. I also lollipopped the two of them early. Amazingly, the ones I topped are growing the best. One of them is dwarfed (not topped or lollipopped); it just wants to stay small and compact.
I keep the humidity between 50-60% and the temperature between 70-85 degrees. Also, my PH is sitting at around 6.9.

I think I supplied all the information that you need. Am I doing a good job with what I have or am I making mistakes?

I added a few photos to help. These were taken yesterday, at the three week mark.
those are all goin to be shorty and really bushy plants. i would try to get better lighting and let them get taller and then switch them to 12/12 and see what happens from their. but ur best bet would be to put them outside, ull get bigger buds anyway, and like u said this is just an experimental grow, so y not just put them outside and get bigger buds?
