Looks like they need more lights.. it's very stretched and the roots still haven't fully developed yet I see...
But you're on the right path ;)

yeah your lights need to be way closer to your tops. What kind of light are you using??? and when you do transplant them not only should you bury it to the first set of leaves, DONT forget to remove the mesh around the peat pellet. i forgot to remove it on my first grow and my plants seemed to have a big problem rooting past the mesh.

Good luck man.

yeah you dont want them to strech like that. you want them short and bushy and that will give you good node spacing and better buds. if they strech you will have small buds and it would honestly be a waste of a plant

after potted for 6-7 days get some air cirulat'n 'round 'em with a lil' fan - that help strengthen stems - don't be shy now, get it breezy

well unless your dude got them from a breeder or someone with some extras laying around they are prop just bag seeds. but some great weed comes from homegrown bagseeds :)

looking forward to your grow man.

yes :) and if you want to be cheap you can get a few empty 2 liter bottles and just cut the tops off and fill with soil and BAM! there you go. oh if you do that remember to make drainage holes in the bottom.
