your plants are stretched, man, get them cfls closer to your plants, you may want to get more if you have 11 plants?

11 plants under cfls is a bit ambitious. you would need A LOT of cfls. 5 cfls a good for 1,2 maybe 3 plants in my opinion. And those plants are streached so bring the lights in closer. Like 4" away.

dude best thing to do is invest in a good light... here is a pic of one of my babies at 4 weeks...
I am running a single 1000 mh on 9 plants... you might want to go invest in somewhere between 30 and 50 more cfl's if you plan on budding 11 plants at the same time and getting anything worthwhile...
yes if you can afford it go with the hps 400 watt but you would need alot more for 11 plants i started off with flourecents for two weeks my plant didnt seem like it was going anywhere i went up to home depot and just picked up a 70 watt hps and in 1 week it had grow 3 times what it grew in the 3 weeks with flourescent

best bet is to check your local kijiji or something similar, there are tons of grow lghts on there and e-bay too, more light = faster growing plants that arnt stretched, but also involves a few other issues that you will have to deal with like the heat the light will throw... so you make sure that you have figured out how big you can let your plants get because you will need a couple of feet between the lights and the plants, then the temp of the room will also go up, so you will need to figure out a way to cool it... there are a ton of sucessful cfl grows on here but they all have probably 5-10 cfl's per plant and they are the highest wattage you can find
bro your plants are madddd stretched out what u gotta do is just keep the light 3 inches above them at all times. the good thing about cfls is that their good for vegging and flowering but if got 11 plants id wanna get like 20 to 30 lights on em. id try some bloodmeal tea to get ur plants nutrients up their look type weak

if you can get a mh conversion bulb for it and you can finish out the rest of the vegging
