what should i do with my plants, 2 look a bit limp and one his really bushy, the middle plant is the one im most worried about cause it lost one of its bottom leaves and since than its been looking really sick, should i throw it away? also the one on the far left suffered from being overwattered and hasnt seemed to bounce back completely since the overwattering the soil is lookin pretty dry they havent been wattered for 3 days, this is going on to week #3

Those plants look like there in the worst place they could be in when there so young like that. You need to move them to a more clean and sterile enviorment. they also dont look like their getting enough light.

i just moved the lights a bit up when i took that pic, i guess the enviroment isnt to sterile, theres no bugs or anything though, just dirty carpet in my closet, they were really fine before being over wattered so im pretty sure that isnt the problem, well ill just continue to observe them, hopefully things get better, im using 4 150w cfl lights a couple inches from the tops

Overwatering is a common mistake of newbies. Don't water till they are DRY all the way to the bottom. Get a moisture meter. They are only $5 at wal-mart....and don't water the plant untill the meter says dry. I know a few people that don't water thier plants untill the leaves start to droop.
For now, make sure that there is plenty of ventilation so that they can dry out. When you water, add enough water that it drains out of the holes in the bottom of the pot. Also are you checking the ph of your water?

they hadent been fed for about 4 days and the soil was sooooo dry like no moisture in it at all and since i watered them today within a couple hours they started to look alot better, i think i had the cfls to far away i had them about 4 inches away cause a friend of mine told me to move them from 2 to 4 and since i put them back at 2 they seem to be perking back up.
