as for now you can leave the plant under 24 hours of light if you want to ... you just want it to veg right now you only need to cut down the light to simulate winter approaching... this triggers the hormones that start the reproductive cycle in the plants... this in females leads to budding... you also want to use a high color temperature like 6500k go to lowes or home depot and get full spectrum or they may say daylight... those are the bulbs you need to good veg growth... then when the plant is mature you need to cut the light down to about 12 hours on 12 hours off and switch the bulb to one with about 2700k.... also you will need more than a 13 watt bulb try to at least get a 23 watt cfl and make sure the bulbs you use are giving it enough lumen's... for a small plant you will need about 3000 and if i remember 1, 13 watt cfl is only around 1000 the 23 watts are about 1600 so two of those should do for now
