I own Seemorebuds' cfl book- bought it when GK first released it.. lol..last nov...

My first grow was cfl which resulted in a 3 oz. 12 gram cured yield from one plant- a few bumps along the way (mostly with falling lights and burnt leaves/buds)

That baby was vegged 2.5 months before put into flowering under cfls- the biggest thing with cfls is placement, it's critical.
Cfl buds are always a lot fluffier and less dense than hps buds- hence more bud spots are usually better for the overall yield. Usually for any plant flowering isn't suggested until the plant is at least 18 inches tall. It's key to note that the mango strain used by GK in his book is a
VERY heavy yielding strain, his results aren't very typical. Starting seeds at 12/12 prior to them reaching mature age does not make the plant sex quicker or flower faster- the only thing it does is cut down the energy the plant gets,stunting growth. With clones though, since the mother plant has already reached maturity you can start 12/12 actual flowering right off the bat (there is no sexing stage for clones)though the plant will be much smaller with a much smaller yeild as it was rushed. Also 12/12 does NOT induce the plant to show it's sex, the plant's maturity does, all my plants from seed always show sex while under 24/0 lights because I veg them until they reach maturity before inducing flowering, no rushed plants here. A thought to remember- in nature these plants veg for nearly 5 months before flowering, almost an 8 months life span- forcing the plant to go through it's whole life cycle in 3 months is stressful enough. Just some info to remember the next time around..
Do not always follow the directions on the nutes you buy- those directions are not for marijuana growers, lol, they are for hobby gardeners and produce. Again, marijuana needs very little nutrients compared to all the other plants typical gardeners are growing- a typical nute dosage for typical plants is usually an overdose for marijuana. You are growing a WEED, remember that- they usually thrive better with less intervention.
You also should have paid less attention to the amount of water you put into the container during the flush and more attention to the color of the water coming from the container during the flush- the point of the flush is to put water through until it comes out clear. That's the only way you can be sure you got all the toxic buildup out of the soil... a flush is a touchy move, though a little late to be saying that- as now your plant will continue to show signs from the OD (some OD signs take almost 2 weeks to show up in the leaves), and will make it difficult to sort out OD signs from possible under nutrition signs caused by the flush itself..
So yeah.. any questions let me know.. right now you're pretty much at a wait and see point.
Also with that heat problem you just had- did you check if the plant actually needed to be watered before you watered?? I.E. stuck you finger 2 inches into the soil to see if the soil was moist? If it's moist 2 inches below the surface DON'T WATER.
