Curly Droopy Leaves (pics)

I have 10 plants that are all about 11 days old. They've been grown from seed. I fed them with half the suggested amount for the first time yesterday. They're potted in jiffy pucks which are in pro mix hp. They dont look as good as I think they can. The leaves are droopy and curly. The stems are bendy and dangly. I'm not sure if this is normal. My temps are pretty warm at a usual 22C - 27C and they're usually always at 30% - 35% humidity. I live in an apartment and the window is wide open so I cant control the temps too much. Should I invest in a humidifier?
Here are a few pics:
 The top right plant here has a leaf that's browning a little.

Right now they're under 10 13watt CFLs. As they are right now, they're about 3 - 6 inches from the light depending on how tall the plant is and where it sits.
So you think I should stop feeding them? I dont think pro mix hp has very much in the way of nutrients in it. Isnt that a bad thing?
I've watered them 3 times in total. Once when putting them in soil, once this past weekend when i fed them and once in between. I've only watered them when the soil feels dry.
If I re-pot them, I'm guessing I should put them in bigger pots? If I do that, I'm going to move them under an HPS to finish the veg. How far away should plants this size be from a HID?

That watering info helps a lot and so does the chart Thanks!
Well I planted them into the small pots about 10 days ago so I guess I'll need to wait until the roots are established enough to pull the roots out in one ball as Magash stated.
The soil in the pics was watered about 24 hours before the pics were taken. I'll definitely cut back on watering though. I think if I can, roots permitting, I'm going to re-pot them this weekend into my larger, final pots. Also placing them under the HPS at the same time.

Well I havent checked since about 12 hours ago, but they were still kinda droopy this morning. I'll check again when I get home from work.
I was planning on waiting until the plants are about 1.5 feet before switching to flower. I want to keep one of the females outside to prevent her from flowering and keep as a mother. I'll probably use the CFLs my small plants are under now to keep her lit.

The lowest two leaves (not the round ones) are browning on most of the plants now. Is this because of the nutrients?

Azyle00 said: Happened with mine as well. Also some yellow spots. All further damage ceased on transplant and proper drainage and watering.
The seed leaves may yellow/brown and fall off, even the first leaf too.
So now more than just the bottom two leaves are turning brown. I dont mean the seed leaves either. Should I transplant them tonight to the bigger pots or do you think they can hang on until Saturday? I'll do whatever I need to do to keep them alive :S

The new growth looks pretty good and is still growing. I guess I'm just over worrying. After examining more thoroughly I'm finding its actually just the plants that spouted a day or two later than the first one that are browning on more than just the bottom leaves. They actually don't look too good. There is 3 of these plants and the new growth looks really droopy and sick. On all the other plants the new growth is healthy looking.

All my plants are dying. The young ones leaves are completely hanging right down and shrivling up. The slightly older plants leaves are just completely drooped but not really shrivled at all...
Is there anything I can do at this point?
