I know i'm a newb, but if ur not letting ur tap water sit out for a long while (24hrs+) it could be at least part of your problem... I had a hard time with seeds and clones when I started, and my bad tap water was what I believe to be the cause.

a 60w incandesent bulb? the tap water is a good guess.. 5 weeks huh, how fast did the 2 leaves grow it? it might be in shock. check your ph, make sure your not over watering.. check temps... let us know all the info you can maybe we can help

are you using a timer on your light, is it a consistant timer? how big is the container that it is currently in?

hmm, 5gal bucket may be too big at this stage, and give your plants some dark time, they need to sleep. 18/6 is good.

if your going to keep them in the 5 gal, i would stay watering every other day. i think your roots are going to be trying to grow to the bottom of the bucket too much and not actually grow the plant. just a thought..

Lots of problems.

1) light not good
2) should be close to a foot tall with several sets of leaves.
3) Tap water - at least let it sit for 24 hours before putting on plants
4) Do not water everyday with a 5 gallon, Maybe once a week.
The 5 gallon container is fine leave it be
