Have you got any more information on your ten buck grow light? The trouble with cheaper lighting can sometimes be that it will veg the plants OK but not have enough power to flower them. What sort of light is it?
Also, what are you feeding them?
For food I left the soil and everything how it was when given to me i haven't given the plants anything but water when necessary. I want to know where to start to keep them alive! so far they are still growing from the light, I turn it off a 2 am until seven every day I heard your supposed to do that.
thank you for the advice never thought gardening could be so fun and smell so good =]

Tips
From what I have learned there are 5 things beside the lights, make sure you have enough wattage, 1000w will burn trichomes but you have to have enough to push through flowering, I set mine on 600w seems to be just right. Sorry I got lost in a tangent, so the 5 things besides light; water, airflow, temperature, humidity, and nutrients. Basically your going to mimic the changing of seasons from spring to fall in the most ideal conditions possible. Humidity should be less than 50% for budding, vegging is less particular, dont get crazy or anything, think of a beautiful summer day. Plants need nutrients you must fuel the machine, nitrogen is the common issue with plants showing strain, if the edges of the fan leaves are turning yellow, not enough nutrients, if they are really dark, like unnaturally dark you have an abundance, other nutrients do play roles in different parts of the plants growth, check out some nutrients organic is always nice, bat guano and goat droppings and coffee grounds are great sources of nitrogen! In order for the plants to grow and get the CO2 they need to photosythesise you must have fresh circulating air, get a couple fans and put them on the plants, this will also help strengthen the stalk and branches of the plant supplying enough gusto to hold some hearty buds. N temperature is also very important for the girls, lights on should be around 75F lights out mid to low 60F if you get over 80F you can start to break down essentiol thc building blocks. Lastly water, anything that lives needs water, you can usually tell when a plant needs water, probably once a day let the top soil dry before watering again, overwatering can suffocate the plants and that is just as bad as not enough water. All of these components have worked for me to avoid mold, fungus, and have produced some pretty dope trees. Hope this helps, you can't educate yourself enough! - "Bless the Flowers, Bless the Weeds" - Combat Corduroy

So something really important that we need to know. What is your budget?
You have to keep in mind that right now they are in a very early stage of growth. later on they will start to bud and the smell well become greater. Depending on the strain, some might smell good, some might not. a good carbon-filter with air-extraction fan can eliminate a good deal of odor.
