yep..turn the lights on...18/6 is correct for vegetative growth.

keep the bulb within a few inches of the top of your plant...checking the plant isnt burning..

hi just another question how long do i keep it on for 18/6,theres alot of growing room so they can get tall if need to

All depends on how much you want to grow them. For CFL it's best not to get really tall plants as the light doesn't pack the strength to get through all the layers of leaves. I prefer nice tight top colas over a lot of popcorn buds. I'd say veg them for three weeks then switch over to the 12/12 light cycle. They're going to get between three and four times as tall during bloom so keep that in mind.
