Stop worrying, nothing is wrong as such. Are you folair spraying?? if so stop.

There are a few issues tho. Ya pot is to big for that size plant. Ya could do with alot more pearlite in there. Soil looks very wet, just water every 7 days (actually every 3 weeks with a pot that size lol). give her 24/7 light (optional). What spectrum are those cfl's your using, for 20 days they are looking a bit small.

Good luck

Hi thank you for your help.
So im using ikea ones that are rated 2700 Kelvin, and I am not foliar spraying. Are you sure that the glossy finish and the twisted look is nothing to worry about?Ill make sure I dont water it too much as you said. Do you think the lights are ok at the height they are?

Thanks
 
I could be wrong here as I am a complete noob. I thought until you started flowering you were supposed to use bulbs in the 5000 - 6500 kelvin range.
