new micro grow i need some questions ansewered

a couple of weeks ago i set up my new micro grow. im using 2 of those flouresent bulbs in a box thats 12"x15"x24" i have 10 seedlings (the strain is prone to have lots of males) and i was wondering if i would be better off scaping most of the plants after sexing them and just foccusing on growing on and continusly topping it untill next spring and then sticking it outside to grow one biggie bush or if i should just grow 4-6 plants to like 18 inchs tall then induce the flowering?

if your going to tell me the lights i have dont work dont bother commenting because i've used the exact same type of lights before and they worked fine.

We don't know what kind of lights you are using except that they are flouros. But if you grow plants to 18 in then flower, they will be about 36 inches when ready to harvest. And you have to subtract both rootspace and lightspace from your 24 in. Autoflower dwarfs might work.

the lights i have are those flouresent energy saving lights because the last two times ive grown i've gotten discovered by the rents upstairs because of the electricity bill (i live in a basement suite)

if i was to start flowering at say 8-12 inches would that effect the potency of the buds or just there size?

most growers are of the opinion that the potency should be pretty much the same, size will be the big impact
may want to consider some training with a low roof, just getting ready to LST a micro grow myself
