Couple things here:

1] MG Moisture control is one of the worst soils for weed plants. Transplant to anything but MG, Scott's and Shultz because most of those soils have pre-added ferts.

2] Incandescent bulbs won't work. In fact they might kill it.

3] CFL bulbs should be about 3 inches from the plants. At 12 inches away, they are getting only a fraction of the potential lumens given by the bulb.

4] Yes, they should be on a light schedule; 18/6 during veg which lasts about a month from the start and when they are about a month old put them on 12/12 to trigger flower. You will need a timer for this; get a "heavy duty" timer.
