Your going to need to do an all around adjustment for bigger plants not just lights...BIG PART tho...but that soil is imo (if your growing in soil) 1 of the main components... if you skimp on dirt, your plant will skimp on bud...?

Start over. Your dirt and pots aren't working.

Get 2 or 3 gallon pots that don't let light shine through. Light isn't good for roots. I prefer fabric pots.
Get a bag of Fox Farms and add 25% perlite.
Each pant should have 2 23w cfls from sprout. Ad a few cfl's each week until you have AT LEAST 100w per plant. 150w would be better.
Get some decent nutes. veg and Bloom. Feed veg nutes until week 5.
In week 4 begin to train the main cola lower.
Make sure temps aren't higher than mid 80's with lights on or lower than mid 60's lights off.
Run lights 20 hours per day and don't interrupt their sleep.
Put a fan in the space to move the air around.

Autos are basically fail proof if you take the time and spend a little money to get set up correctly.

Temps never exceed past 79 I have a aor conditioner in the room and a thermometer hanging near the lights. Maybe because the soil have no perlite

U need at least 300 actual watts, better soil, also keep the lights like 2 inches away from tops, also autos is better to start them in 5 gal pots., water them every 3 to 5 days, fertilize after 2 weeks from seed, and after that fetilize every 14 days working your way up, also keep light schedule 18/6. 18 hours light on/ 6 hours light off. GOOD LUCK!!!

I can't figure out what's wrong then.. Definitely cover your jugs with duct tape or fabric or something to make them dark..

Should be looking something like this at end of week 3. In week 4 they typically start to shoot up.

They are actual watts. Im just gone let them grow and see how they turn out. I could always breed them to make seeds by spraying on with colloidal silver
