as many lights as you can get...

yield and light wattage are directly related... more wattage = more weight

you will need at least twenty eight thousand CFL's for at least 1 gram of bud

your leaves curling down can be a sign of over watering or the soil is too dry whats your watering scedule

I'm pretty sure you have to be 18 to post on this site... But I started growing when I was 15 and I wish I had this site then so I don't really care. Try to get a camera it will make a huuuge difference. Water them once the water is dry about an inch into the soil (every other to every 3rd day). What color are the leaves like light green or browning? What kind of soil are you using? What size pots? Maybe you said but how many/what color/what wattage CFL's are you using? What is your timing schedule? Where is your set up? Do you have temperature readings? Haha. I know alot of questions... They could mostly be answered in one picture if you had one.

I would say just start flowering and take the best looking female and scrap the others. You might be able to save 2 but with less yield. What are you doing about smell?
