You are overwatering!! Let the roots dry out so they can get some air. They don't need nutes yet and they can go without water for a day or two. Let them breathe; that's very important.

At this age they can only handle the cfl, 400 watt mh is way too much and way to far away, they will stretch. Go back to your cfl and put it about an inch or two above your starts, you will notice a big difference in their performance and growth. Once they get more nodes, 5 or 6, then give them the 400 watter.

...not too much water
...no nutes yet
...and cfl

You should be okay....keep us posted
