I've had these plants for about a week, and it was growing really well up until 2 or 3 days ago when I see NO results..I feel like I may need more light, but I can't tell

Sorry, I'm using a 23watt cfl at the moment, but I have plenty more light when it's old enough...the pots are small clay pots..I'm not sure about the size but in the 3rd picture you can see my finger for a comparison.

your pics are not showing up . I am not sure how small they are they may have hit the bottom and sides already and it might be time to go larger. Plants grow to the size of their pots. If it is stunted I would think you might need to transplant.

It's definitely not overgrown..it's about 1.5 inches tall with 2 sets of leaves in a 4 inch diameter pot, i'd say

23 watt cfl is not much light, what can you really expect? Assuming there are no reflectors, at most your plant is getting light from one side of the bulb, so the plant is basically getting 12 watts of light. You need to add a bunch more bulbs and make sure your not over watering them.

i had the same problem stunted for like 2 weeks+ then started growing after i transplanted and added more light mixed Miracle grow soil with black earth top soil could be a combination of possible problems lol... but now is the healthiest plant ever, i now have about 100 watts 6500k and 50 watts 2700k of cfl surrounding my 1 plant in a 4 gallon bucket in a 2'x2'x6' closet hope this could be some good ideas to help you out considering this is my first grow that i have studied for and im still learning lol...
