Needing some help - flaws and set backs

I am growing two plants in my cabinet in my room. I have 3 cfl 17 watt under cabinet lights attached to the top, foil around the sides, and my plants on the bottom. One plant is restrained so she doesn't hit the roof. The second plant is going to need it too. I first encountered trouble with them when I was trying to raise the temperature intheir environment from 60 to above 70.. With a space heater. I had it a few feet away but unfortunately I burnt some of the leaves closest to it. :/ then my next problem was the lighting. I started with two under cabinet lights and added a third. They all are attached by duct tape and keep falling down hurting my plants.. Last is their time schedule. I don't have a timer and I don't give them exactly 12-12 since they are supposed to be in their flowering stage...

I left the lights on all day today. So does that mean they're now back to the veg stage? Or does it mean they will become male plants? I need some help. The temperature problem is fixed since it's a lot warmer now. I'm kind of getting fed up with being so secretive with this grow in my room.

Would anyone suggest I move them outdoors and let nature grow them for me? I can find a location for them, its just the problem I wanted smaller faster plants to smoke soon.. Any help and or suggestions will be greatly appreciated! Thank you, all in advance!

Also, I considered cloning some of these branches on these plants and either starting from there in the cabinet or starting the clones outside. I may need some pointers if you guys think that could be a good idea to just start with 'newer' plants and fix the grow area. I got a little carried away since this is my first grow. :(

First off your gonna need more than 3 cfl's, i would think about a 250w hps to really speed things up in flower stage. You will be alot happier at the end of harvest, and yes the plants will go back into veg mode if you leave the lights on more than 12 hours. If you cant get a hps right now, you might wanna think about putting them outside. You have to have patients when growing mary-jane. You can take cuttings, as long as it has atleast 3-4 nodes. Dont let you bubs fall on the plants, get yourself some bulb hangers from home dept. If you up your light to 250w, that might give you just what you need as far as heat is concerned.

Right now is a great time to place plants outside. IF they aren't budding, yet. Even if they are a little, they'll revert and veg all summer. Just keep in mind, they're gonna get HUGE outside. If there's any sativa in them, there gonna get HUGE+. It doesn't sound like you're indoor settup is up to snuff, yet. Either go outside, or spend some $$$ on a timer and good lighting.
