18/6

Yeah your all good! Just means it’s a girl. btw, Is there an NPK rating for your soil?

The plant food is 12-4-8 along side of some bcuzz roots 0-0-0.7 and grandma's molasses

18/6

I would never run 18/6 with weak lighting like cfl, I believe this is why it's doing this.

But admittedly I am also just a big fan of 24/0 for any kind of light though

Its called DLI or daily light increment.

What it means is that the plant wants a given number of photons for its daily needs. The plant will goto sleep even with the lights on and thus "waste" the light its given and that's why some people run 18/20 or whatever number of hours to save power.
This also means that with weaker light the plant will want more than sometimes given if running lower hours. I like to run 24 so the plant always has as much as it will take. Some people say roots grow best in the sleep period or dark and they try to force it by running 18/6. I dont find that to be the case for myself.

Anyways you'll find what works best for you, just sharing what I've learned/found.

The yellow is from the 2700k this is 1 day growth with not enough light

@OP look into screw in LEDs bulbs. Much more penetration and photons than CFL bulbs.
As well as being more directional once you pop the glob off. You'll get more bang for your buck over CFLs.
