You might be able to get away with three more. How are you mounting them above/around the plant?

Get a small desktop fan at a local hardware store for 10 bucks. Have it blow over the plants eliminating heat, allows you to add more light if you are concerned about heat.
23 watts are good but a waste.. start getting 42 watts 45 watts or even a 36 watt cfl, they work really well, i used 4 cfls for one plant and my plant vegged beautiful.
I have 18 cfls over 7 foot high plants right now.. But if you do decide to buy a good amount of cfls just save the money and buy a 400 watt hps.. =]
I got my cfls for free so i didnt have to worry aboutt hat problem haha

the first set of leaves always falls off, and when they get bigger youll notice the same happening to the very low fan leaves

do you have a fan on them ? if not you should.... then they wouldnt need to be staked up.
it would be a good idea to put them in a gallon pot soon and bury that stem so they stand up better

Looks to me like they are getting low on nutes maybe. Or over watering. What kind of soil mix do you have them in? Does it have any nutes in it. If you could keep your lights closer you should not need to tie them up. At there age they should not need to be tied up. And the fan would help also.

If you can get it and want to buy some really good premixed soil I would definitely go with Foxfarm Ocean Forest.

A good way also to check for watering is to get used to the weight of the pot. Lift it right after you water to see how heavy it is and keep checking until it feels much lighter. That's time to water. Only takes a little to get used to it. But of course if it's drooping you waited to long. But that will also teach you as to the weight.
