From your description 2x 20 watt CFL, and stems breaking then they fall over and die. Looks like stretching is the problem. How far away are your lights?

After it breaks the surface you should water once a day and don't water again until the top layer of the soil has dried up. Make sure theres also a way for the water to drain out.
Pictures would be helpful tho.
