Hi Ya :)

Welcome to RiU :)

Your light is fine , The fact that it's close makes your plant form new leaves ( Nodes ) tight together ...so it can look like not a lot is happening and no growth .

plant looks fine , The period between germination and veg growth can seem to take forever at first , Don't worry ... they will soon take off :)

When you pot them up to bigger pots they will go nuts :)

What nutrients are you using ?... tell us a bit about your grow :)

Good Luck :)

Peace

get a few 5000's or 6500k CFL's that's what you want for vegging
then switch over to the 2700k's when it comes time to flower which might
be in 8 to 12 weeks

I would get your light to be about in inch or two from each plant (yes a lot of adjustment but thats because you have multiple lights.

Head out and just buy a t8 bulb with 6500k spec and have the thingy to plug it into and you should be good just off of that.
