First Grow - Flowering 21 Days. How Do They Look?

I'm 21 days into flowering (12x26w 2700k CFLs) and wondered how they look in comparison to what others have seen using similar lighting.

I took these a few minutes ago.

How am I doing for a first-timer with less than $50 in this using bagseed?

Thanks

How long did you let them veg? They look like my plants that I am growing under t8's. Mine are bigger, but I probably veg'd for longer. I veg'd my plants for about 2 months. They are 18 days into flowering and about 20 inches tall. This is my first grow as well. Here is a pic of one of mine.



I LST my plants, from what I have read if you are using FLORO's of any kind LST and topping is a good idea.
 
Nice looking lady!

Mine are only around 12 inches tall at this point, but I topped them pretty early. Their first 3 months they sat in the window of a spare bedroom and didn't get any light other than through the window. After that I put them on 24 hour CFLs for about three weeks and switched to 12/12 21 days ago. Actually, they've had a pretty rough life when I think about it. I planted 6 germinated seeds in one pot and sat it in that spare bedroom. I only watered them once a week or so, and when i decided to transplant, I had to basically wash all of the dirt away because the roots were tangled. I put each one in their own pot and learned a valuable lesson, but unfortunately, the pots were a bit small. So, I waited to sex them, scrapped the males, and transplanted once again. I also topped them in week 2 of veg under the CFLs, took several cuttings for clones at day 14 of flowering, and have trimmed a couple of fan leaves to allow more light to reach the bud sites a few times during flowering.
 
Here's a better shot, taken this morning:

There are 18 bud sites on this one so far! Even though 6 of them are still pretty small, I'm guessing that many bud sites on a plant that's around a foot tall is okay, yes?
