First time growing, microgrow assistance?

Just planted six germinated seeds! Didn't have any small pots for them so I used 9oz plastic cups with holes in the bottom.
I have a 24w CFL, 1700 lumens, a 13w CFL, 900 lumens and a 20w 24" with around 1000 lumens so far, do you think it's enough for the moment?
Here's some photos, anything I should do differently?




It looks much darker in there than it really is, it's quite bright.
Thanks again to everyone who's helped and posted, I'm excited.

that should do for now id get on to it well before flowering tho
How many more bulbs/lumens would you think for a good harvest? I'm only looking to grow two plants, just planted six because I'm sure some are males.

It seems what I have is enough at the moment as 4/6 plants have already sprouted above the dirt :D

Thanks.

Updates. I bought a six pack of 26w, 1750 lumen CFLs. Here's some photos of what the cab looks like now:





The plants are a bit yellow as you can see, they were starting to get like that before I put in the new lights so I think it's because I've been watering with molasses, next watering I'm going to stop and see if they improve.

Do you think that it's too much light for the moment? I don't want to burn them.
Comments and suggestions?
Thanks to everyone.
