it looks like phosphorus problem, that is causing mag def. maybe from over fertilization. the leaves look like they are presenting the claw effect on the leaves and tips / edges are burned. dont overwater the

you might want to lower those lights a bunch, in your 5th picture they appear to be too high above the plants, this will make them stretch for the light, lenthening the distance between nodes. Put the lights as close to the tops of the plants as you can get them without burning them. Test to see how far with your hand, if the light burns your hand, the distance is too close, if you can't feel the heat, move hand closer until it gets too warm to keep there, then back off a bit and that is how close your lights should be to the plants. With flourescent lights, you will probably get them within 6 inches of the plants without too much heat.
 
See, Your already learnin girl. Listen to these guys. We have ALL been through this learning period, just like you. You'll be alright. watch a lot of youtube. Got a lot of good stuff there but there are some Really dumbasses to so be picky what you believe and get more than one opinion. Right now your on the right track. ONE thing I'll add and that is, when you transplant go to the biggest bucket you can get BECAUSE each time you have to replant your stressing the plant a little and slowing the growth (it takes a little time for the roots to reestablish in the soil) so you want to replant as few times as you can manage. Otherwise Keep On Truckin.
