This is my first time as well but from what I've read and seen in other grow journals you can get some really nice bud with CFLs. You'll just get less of it, but who cares?

A lot of it depends on how you treat the plant in the last 3 weeks of flowering and how you dry and cure your harvest. Follow a tried and true plan and it looks like you can do miracles with these plants.

And as for a week for the seedling to pop out, naaaah. I had ONE 13 watt CFL on my sprout and it popped outta the dirt in 2 days
