Yep, good start! I wouldn't bother with misting though, it may maker her rot away. Give her roots something to do; search down for food and water...(In the meantime, invent a time machine so you can check her out in a month! 
It's all about self restraint at the moment says I who messed up their first seedling.

He's right, the soil will drain much better if you add 1 cup perlite to every 3 cups of your soil. It'll also make it easier for your plants to spread roots. And be careful not to overwater. You should only be watering once every two or three days, or when the pots get light and the topsoil is dry to the touch at this point. Water until they drip from the bottom of the pot, and stop misting.

my advice to you... dont water alot in early stages. let the soil dry out completly before you water them, then water, dont use nutes for a while

more plants are killed by over care rather then under care, dont obsess over them i know it can be hard we have all done that. let the soil dry out complexly then give it a good water, its just a seedling so the root tap will be small, the watering will last it a while, stick to a consistent light cycle, choose some good nutrients, wait for a nice root ball to form and transplant ONLY when your plant uses up all its water in 2 days (meaning large root mass sucking up all the water),

Yeah thanks, it's hard sometimes not to look at them all the time, i have 2 right now, one is bigger than the other, and im just hoping they are both females.
i have a few questions, now that you guys talk about lighting.
right now i have 2 23 watt cfls lighting the plants, and i have them under 24 hour lights. i want to know if this is the way to go, well i know there's not an exact way, but i would like to know if for now the 2 23 watters will do me good for them at least until i can afford to get some more.
another thing is that the pots they are currently in are the pots in which i am looking forward to growing them just for the reason that i dont have the space to have big plants, or big pots. the space in my room is very limited. and yeah the diameter of the pots is around 6 inches and they are around 10 inches high, please advice!
in advance Thanks and also thanks to all of you that have already comment.

My guess is that you'll probably want bigger pots. If you want them to stay small, you might consider reducing the amount of time the light is on to something like 18/6. It may not make much of a difference, but if you aren't looking for huge growth then you aren't gaining anything by having the lights on all the time. Well, except maybe the convenience of not having to set up a timer

what i always tell my friends is right down what they do every day and learn from your mistakes
Well, it's not dead so you are better than half the idiots that post here.
There has got to be a common name or slang that needs invented for the act of new growers just staring at their crops needlessly, it's amazing how many of you guys admit to doing it. I'd call it the Grower Gaze, but I think to many Californians would get the wrong idea, lol.

I wouldn't recommend 24 hours of light. If you think about imitating nature, this baby would be sprouting in the spring. If you leave it in summer all day every day it's going to stress out, just like if you stayed up day in/day out artificially. Giver her some love and rest and let those roots do work in the dark, even if it's 20/4 cycle.

I might have missed something but where did you get your seeds from and what strain? 
I subbed... I have a good feeling about this particular grow...
