Well it looks like u nute burned it in the last picture. My guess is u gave it nutes too early and detrimentally stunded it. Im not a pro here but i learned from first grow b/c i burned 3 out of four plants and two cfls just isn't going to cut it. I have 4 23w cfls and i have one of those round cfls shaped like a circle thats 1200 lumens right there i only payed like 8bucks for it but yah. More lights back off the nutes a bit. I usually wait about a week n half to put nutes in seedlings have a enough nutes on there own to survive a couple weeks alone.

I dont see nute burn, but def let it grow b4 u add more water. From seed to veg it takes a while, but if you are doing things right once it goes flower speed will pick up.

fox farm is a great soil its what i use most the time and its inexpensive i bought a 20 qt bag for under 13 dollors at my local hydro shop, and also instead of buying alot of low wattage cfls they make 125s and 200 the 125 watts are only 40 bucks here and just plug it in to regualer outlet and wala

When I tried to use the little plastic cup trick this is what happened to my plants. Move them out of those cups and into something with proper aeration holes in the bottom. Already mentioned you need good soil, mixed with pearlite or sand.

P.S. If you can catch an angle of the sun coming through the window without them being seen..., manually move them over there and get some good sunlight. That boosted mine a little too.
