Dude! These are stretching, you need more light for those, and the light needs to be a lot closer. What's your equipment look like?

Okay you have an 18 inch light, what is your wattage and what is your grow space measurements? Those are definitely stretching, they need more light. Also, don't use a watering schedule, water when soil is barely moist.

More light for sure and clear pots hurt root development stunting the plants, get more light and some real pots, try to bring the dirt up to the first set of leafs when you repot.

cfl and mh lights are usually recommended to use during the vegetative stage. When you transplant you want your soil to be somewhat wet so it can stick together and not fall apart.

Your plants are stretching..(when a plant stretches it means its stretching for more light).If you cant afford a HPS, or MH.. Go to the hardware store and buy a pack of 23 watt CFL's, and buy a Y splitter, and your plants will appreciate it... Dont water your plants until there almost dry..Veg for about 6-8 week's under 18/6..Depends on how there growing...Than when its time for 12/12, get a HPS...
Good Luck!

This is a "Y splitter"... You can buy it at a hardware store for about 3.00-4.00..and you can also buy a pack of 23 watt CFL's for about 20 bucks... all together you can have a GOOD light set up for about 25 bucks... Here's the picture of 23 watt CFLS plugged into a Y SPLITTER!!

lights , lights, lights.... get an 150W HPS... and mount it on top of your cabinet. but put a hole on the top for the bulb... helps consume space instead of puting the light insiiide the cab.. Pe@ce...
