They look surprisingly healthy actually.
I recommend transplanting them into 3 gal pots filled with Fox Farm Ocean Forest soil.
Give them another week or so to get some vertical growth, then tie them down and continue to LST during their entire veg period.
Also pick yourself up a pack of Botanicare PureBlend Pro nutrients. You'll want the PureBlend Pro GROW, Pure Blend Pro BLOOM, and Liquid Karma.
If you can afford it, pick yourself up a cheap MH/HPS setup. I recommend starting with a 250w MH/HPS interchangeable setup. You can use the MH bulb for vegging and switch in the HPS for flowering. The 250w produces very little heat and even without any expensive cooltubes, ventilation systems, or carbon scrubbers, I was able to successfully complete an amazing 250w grow with no heat or smell issues using only a small desk fan and a closet air ionizer ($20 each).
If you don't want to use an HPS because of cost, CFL's are actually more expensive if you want to have enough CFL's to actually have a decent grow (I know - my first grow I used CFL's. I had roughly 600w of CFL's in my closet and my yield was less than half of what it was using my 250w MH/HPS.)
If heat is the issue, CFL's actually produce MORE heat than a 250w MH/HPS in my experience.
These are simply suggestions, and you're free to do what you want obviously, but I've had nothing but great success with the light, soil, and nutrients mentioned above.
Whatever you choose to do... good luck, stay safe, keep us updated, and remember - loose lips sink ships my nigga.

Also, 24hrs light during veg.
12hrs light/12hrs dark for flower.
Learn it, live it, love it, blaze it nigga.

You can grow some very nice weed under CFLs, but 18 watts will not grow much for long.
He's right. You would need at LEAST 2-3 65w CFLs per plant, and those will run you about $9 a pop if not more from what I recall. Not to mention all the fixtures and ghetto rigging needed for a decent CFL setup... You're looking at around $40 per plant
Save up $175 and get a 250w MH/HPS setup. You'll thank me when you end up with 5oz instead of 2oz.
