It's stretching for light... Not enough of it... If you use MG nutes, go extremely light on them. Although with your soil you may not need to. You may only need to tend to a nute defic.
Watch out though, I used straight MG my first grow and got random nute burn at times. Flushing doesn't work well with MG either because in most cases flushing releases time released nutes in the soil that you really don't want

Your at least weeks away from transplanting, and that's at best. It may be longer before you need to if they stunt....
At least a good 18 hours a day right now... If not more :/
What lighting are you using exactly... This is very important unfortunately!

Yes they are the same thing.
And not for a while.. Probally around a month.
It is soon to tell. Every plant can be different.
We need the details on your cfls. How far are they from the plant. What's the spectrum? What's the actuall wattage? What is your grow area? Grow tent, box, or maybe a corner of your house? Details man! They will save you from your own demise!!!

Shit that's what's up. How far from the plant are the bulbs?
Do you have the whole closet or just a portion. What are your intentions with growing? Do you want to get better? Even if you still intend on doing a small scale operation... Do you have a budget to spend on this?

Wow.....
Dude u think what your doing is awesome! And trust me, when I started I knew less than you. But I would not spend ANY money on nutes yet. WAY more important things to buy. Lighting!!!!! It's way to far away!!! Way to far. 2-4 inches at most away from plant! You got a lot of research to do
it's fun though! A lot of research! Research growing with cfls for beginners ! And google. Closet grows with cfls,

Do some research, not just some, do too much research(no such thing) and come back with a new set of questions. I bet after just 1 day you will be so thankful. And everyday after that as well!!

Around 3 inches away at least. Sooooo much closer. And your budget is gonna be what makes this grow. I mean this in a good way, but it may just be easier for you to express what you already know about growing. Then I/we can chime in to correct if there are any wrongs and enlighten you in the areas that you are weak in.
For real though man, I say all this cause I wanna see you succeed as much as I want to succeed. Here's a pic of my little ones for now. No sex yet.
