I know their budget was much smaller in comparison but the effects were much much worse than I had anticipated.

Yeah, the growth scenes were pretty uninspired, particularly the "bad" cheerleader's second spurt, which takes place out over one, flat shot. Some intercutting certainly would've made things more dynamic. To be honest, I found the whole ending/climax of the movie to be pretty dull from a cutting perspective. The director seemed to have a thing for playing out the sequence in a couple of uninteresting, wide angles. Maybe it was a budgetary thing.

Weirdly enough, the most interesting growth scene wasn't in the movie but in a promotional commercial for the movie.
