The brush is fine.

If that is a 300-400w halogen work light, you will likely burn the plant from heat. Get it away now. The spectrum of those lights is not ideal and they put off way too much heat . If you have any daylight spectrum CFL bulbs(the spiral ones) around they would be much better for the plant.

First off you have foil encasing the grow area. That is bad!!! You make the temperature rise doing that, bad for the plants. Also the heat from that light will dry out your plants way too quickly. So yes using CFL's is a good idea. But because of the low lumen output of a CFL having multiple is preferable. Good growing. By the way your pots need more soil. Plants should be able to hold themselves up without a problem.

Right, lose that light and pack some soil up around the stem for support.

Also, would be a good idea to get a fan to blow on your plants. A good circulating fan will strengthen the stem just like wind will do for a plant grown outdoors.
