My first indoor grow, what you think?

6 of them are seeds from sour diesel hybrid strands. some very good smoke. the rest are the finest regi strains out of about the last 10 pounds or so i seen. potting mix is jiffy organic 80 percent, with some mircacle grow potting mix, along with some perlite. I used miracle grow all purpose during veg and miracle grow for tomato plants, fruit plus kind. add epsom salt to all gallons of water. Fan stays on bout half the time, temps stay in the upper seventies day time and around 67 as low of a night. as you can tell i top my plants to produce more colas, as of now they're in the flowering mode... only 3 days uninterrupted. The bigger plants were planted on 2/17 and left in the dark till 2/25. Using cfls 23 watt lights, pushing 1600 to 2700 lumens a piece ea. also the last pic is some kush rolled in a leaf off one the plants that was blocking light to too many lower branches along with her friends around her.

None of those plants are ready to flower. What do you mean you left them in the dark for 8 days straight? WTF why?
 
1.you desperately need more light! If you want to stick with cfls (6400kelvin)you can find some really well priced 125watts and hoods or maybe upgrade to MH if you are still vegging...
those plants are def not in flower at the moment and don't seem quite ready I would give them 3 to 4 weeks more of veg 18/6 light sched if you want a decent harvest.
If you want to flower i would pick up a 600w HPS and run 12/12 light sched which would be enough for the girls you have.

2.you are overwatering them for sure! If your pots dont have drainage GIVE THEM SOME! Give them some time to dry out but not completely, I would recommend watering once a week. I would also transplant out of miracle grow IMO that miracle grow is not good for cannabis i'd try something like foxfarm ocean forest supplementing with flowering supplements in late flower (after 3weeks or when the plants show signs of deficiency) and 2tbs per gal of blackstrap molasses weekly.

3. Keep your grow space clean, it's good practice and will help avoid pest problems. I also usually recommend a weekly systemic and foliar application of azamax, the best defense is a good offence!

Hope all of this helps! good luck!
 
8 days of darkness was from starting the seeds... I planted them n jiffy pellets. Placed up in a cabinet and forgot about them (from seed) Thanks for the advice... i have a 400 watt mh but the heat issue is overwhelming... i cant get it more then a foot away from the plants. it cooks the walls... where would one find that blackstrap mollases and azamax?after i implement your advice i will post some updated pics
