When you upload it let it load for a minute, confused me the first few times I tried. Also easier to do with the Go Advanced button and use that paperclip attachment icon.
or upload to a photo site, like Photobucket and use the IMG link, cut and paste.

you should place them into sepparate containers and from the looks of it probably try and place your lights closer to the tops, but to be honest 65w cfl bulb wont do you much good in the long run.
Habing that said you will never be able to use plain water during the whole grow phase. Unless its a very well done soil (meaning you mixed it yourself with good knowledge of whatyou need....) it wont hold nutritients for more than 3-6 weeks depending on how big the container is and how fertilized the soil in question is.

Also theese plants are not very developed yet. as far as i can tell they are only at the third set of leaves and hasnt even got a full set of true fan leafs yet.. The slow growth is probably mostly linked to having to little light, but sharing container can also be a big problem and induce slow growth.

Separating them and adding more light would that do the job or i need to add some nutrients.?

im having a bit of trouble with seeing the pot size you are using, but since it has grown preatty slow i wouldnt say it needs any fertilizer.
As for adding and removing stuff i would say it all depends on what you want to make of this project. if you want to frow very stealthy and small amount i suggest u lookup cpu grows. but if you are planning to be able to smoke daily and not having to pay criminals for street weed then, yes there is work to be done and much to read for you.
What im saying is that its easir to help if i know what kind of end results you are reaching for

Im tired of paying suckass dudes who claim they got some fire and end up with some bunk weed.
All i want is supply my own bud. The pot size is a 2 gallon one.

I gues it all comes down to how much a person smokes, but if i was to look at my own habbits im preatty much certain that a 250-400w hps in a 3x3x6 ft space would do the trick.
But be advised that you will need good vetilation for a HiD light since they put out a lot of heat! Hid lights ( HPS and MH) are what i belive is the most yield efficient lights right now. The HPS puts out mostly red/yellow light wich makes it the perferred choice in flowering phase. MH puts out mostly White/blue light wich make this the preferred choice for vegetative state. But you dont need both, any of them can be used for a complete cycle, but if you are to choose one, then pick the HPS!
If you were using HPS from the start your plants would be at the very least 300% bigger after 3 weeks.
An experinced grower will be able to pull anything from 0.8/1.5 grams per watt of light used. However this can vary a lot depending on genetics and grow medium used.
This is why its VERY important to do your homework when you choose your genetics! There are a lot of greedy breeders out there with half ass unstable genetics. it takes a while to understand it after entering the grow world, but it aint preatty..
Hydro will always yield more than soil (if done right), but soil cannabis (especially organicly grown) will smell and taste better. The quality i would say remain the same.
Investing money in a grow setup doesnt need to be very expensive. most things you can build yourself and there are a lot of DIY videos around that are very helpful. Just remember to try and make it simple. Sometimes people but all kinds of stuff they dont really need and end up with a preatty pricy setup that they hardly even undetstand.
The world of growing is vast and questions never stop. There are a lot of different information around on many different forums so with some google skills and advice from friends you make inside the community and fellow growers on the forum i belive there is plenty of information to be found. What im trying to say is.. Get ready to read if u wanna grow weed
. growing isnt rocket science, but it damn sure can be 
. And remember to always keep an open mind for discussion about cannabis(not legal crap i mean her i.e.) this will help you a lot.
Also try getting yourself a book about growing cannabis. They are really nice to have and contain loads of good info. just make sure you get one with the basics cause some books are very advanced.
Ill be happy to try and help you to the best of my knowledge.
That said im not a Professional grower, but i have 5 years of growing experience so at least i know my way around the "basics".

It depends how good the bud is if its some good shit ill smoke a doobie every three hours. If its some bunk weed i might just roll fat blunts and smoke one every 1½ Hours. Now i awready transplant them whats to do next.?

How good the bud will be is compleatly up to you my friend. The amount of reaserch you make and the time you spend on your plant will decide both potency and yield.
If youw anna be able to smoke and not run out you need HPS and good ventilation. nuff said. as for what you should do next please read my posts ^^.
Even if i can give you tips, i cant do the work for you. In the end you need to lookup information, read it and learn for yourself. i can do nothing but point you in the right direction.
but heres a few pointers if you wanna be able to smoke every day without running out :
1. use HPS light
2. use a cooltube/cooled hood (makes it muche asier to control temps)
3. use good ventilation and have at least 1 oscillating fan.
4. get yourself some good genetics. sannies seeds , bomb seeds , mr nice seeds , sweet seeds , female seeds, dynasty seeds, U.S.C seeds, esobar seeds, mandala seeds, soma seeds are some of the breeders i recommend
5. Dont tell, Dont sell, Dont smell : make sure you have this and you will not get cought (unless its legal for you in that case congrats!)
After you have 25 posts you will be able to send PM. so if there is anything i can do to help you, then ask and i will try to help the best i can.
. Oh and there are tons of information around! ifyou are feeling a bit lazy just check out some good cannabis cultivation guide/video on youtube. there are 100s of them
.Whats next you say? growing bud
