They look great. Were the sprouts tall and skinny when they first came up? either way they will pull though fine. The stems already look a little thicker

Your stems look real weak man... If you don't already, Get a samll oscilating fan that oscilate some air on them , That will strengthen your stems... My palnts at a week and a 1/2 have stem bigger round than a #2 pencil.... Also add more light,the more , the better... Maybe try addig some organic nutes... those plants should be 3 times the size they are... Try adding some organic nutes... Becareful though, give them a small dose and see how they react... Best of luck with them man...

thats fine, great input from the guys (i went to the store)
test the air between the plants with your hand (under the light)
if its too hot for you, or uncomfortable, then its too hot for the plants.
id have them as close as i could, without losing the footprint (lighting all the plants evenly)
how close? dunno, never used these big cfls, but 4-6 inches sounds likely.

yes done that and seems fine where light is,
Only thing is, there is people on here using the same sort of light but getting big plants very quickly,
I mean i no seeds grow slower but this is extremely slow, what else could i possibly do to make them alot bigger ???
