First grow ever

Depends on the type you are growing, the light placement and how old she is.
At this age she is still growing roots down so you won't see much top growth and since your lights look decently close then she won't stretch either. She'll get taller eventually. Just takes time.

How dry are you letting it get between waterings? You want it to be parched-in-the-desert dry. Over-watering is usually the first thing wrong when a small plant like that has wilty leaves. Or over-fertilization, if they start drying out on the tips and curling a little.

well if you want them to grow up more and not look like shrubs, then raise the lights. stretch is bad, sure, but no stretch is also bad. theres an acceptable amount of stretching.
only other thing id say is the one pic makes it look like there are leaves under the rim of the bucket, thats no so great either, as theres low light, air flow, and a lot more humidity. could cause issues in the future. either way, raise the lights, let it stretch, and youll probably end up cutting off the bottom leaves anyways

for heat, just get an AC unit, and turn that shit on! I keep my house at 72 degrees, so the veg rooms never get above 77 or so. good ventilation makes sure of that.
get a variety of nutes, from different companies. some companies tend to leave out specific elements. getting a variety, makes sure you dont leave any out.
time table... now?
or try organic recipes (recipes in my signature below). i do both, nutrients from stores, and organic teas.
and micro nutes, i use a bottle of plant fertilizer found at pet stores, its 0-0-0, but has around 15 micro nutes in it. i use that every time i water. best 6 bucks ive ever spent. make sure its for tropical fish. while your there, ask if they have pH buffer, also for tropical fish tanks. For soil, theres a 6.5pH one, works fucking awesome
and whatever you do, check the pH of your nutes before you add them in. youd guess they are somewhere between 6 and 8 pH, but ive boughten some at wacky pH levels and its good to know what it is, before you add it in
