So I decided to try making a grow journal, hope You guys are going to like it, and since it is my first grow, so maybe I will be able to get some good tips on what can be done later.
So I am not going to post the very first days of my growth, but I will start from around week into it.
My setup is ->
PC grow box size 55 x 50 x 25 ( I will be writing sizes in cm, because this is most comfortable for me, but replies in inches or something else are cool with me)
3 CFL bulbs, 2 of them are 18w and 1 is 23w, all three of them are warm white colour.
2x PC fans 12w.
My first problem occurred, that the plant has started to stretch a lot , and it started to bend, but with help of some good people I figured out, that I should have placed them a little bit higher, so the plants would be almost near lights.
Here are the pictures

Few days later, after I placed the plants higher, then I started to see some better results, the trunk got thicker and the plants started to look healthier.
As well, just as I put those flowers higher, one of the leaves curled.

At first I was a little bit concerned, but since this didn't happen to other leaves, so I'm calm.
Flowers few days, after I placed them up.

And for today, the plants look like this

Now, since I am limited on lights, and I want to get the best of what I have, I would really like to hear some opinions about, when should I start flowering.
P.S. I am very open to all criticism on what I am doing, I think in this situation, its the only way to learn more about growing.
Peace
