My First Closet CFL Grow 3 Dwarf Auto Flower Snow Ryders

Whats up everyone. I've been researching the forums for a couple months now and I thought it was finally my turn to give it a try. I got a closet stealth box that is about 33"x33" and 4 ft tall. I'm using a mix of perlite, sand, and black gold and I have three pots which hold 7 gallons each. There's going to be a height adjustable center piece board going down the middle of the box with three power strips attached and 18 6500k 13 watt bulbs connected with y adapters so I can get two bulbs for each socket. I also am going to have a couple soft white bulbs placed on those power strips. There's a 4" diameter hole in the center of that board connected to ducting with a 4 " inline fan inside and blowing into a homemade carbon filter going out the top. There is also some intake holes in the bottom of the box and the box is lifted a little off the ground as well as a mini tower fan inside the box mounted to the side on rotate. The main parts of the box is mylared out. My room has A.C. so I'm going to keep that cold air pumping in. I'm going to use Fox Farm Grow Big and Organic Big Bloom for the veg process and then Tiger Bloom for the flowering. I'll get pictures up in the next couple weeks, but first I got some questions for all you experts.
So first some electrical issues... I got atleast 18 of those 13w bulbs and my timer only has one socket so would that be too much power to run to one socket?
I have three feminized dwarf auto flower snow ryders...
According to the site I purchased them from, they are pre determined to start budding after 6-9 main stems grow. Any way to prolong the veg process?
We plan on scrogging and just constantly bending and weaving the plants back down as they grow up towards the light without any topping... Is that the best method for this particular strain?
Any advice would be apprecaited!
