You are not giving them enough light from the pics... that's why they aren't growing. What is that, a 23w CFL?

What are temps by the way?
 
48 I believe and the box told me I had 39000 lumens and I plan to add another 2 CFLs like that one once I have more plants up there

No way in hell a 48w CFL is giving you 39,000 lumens. Read that box again, my friend.
3900 hundred my friend and I would add 2 to make 3 total which i figured would b enough light to flower a utility shelf full of plants in Dixie cups to get hopefully 6 or 7 oz only my third grow and my first Tim doing multiple plants

That's enough to veg a few small plants for a little while if you reflect it right. Getting a few more would never hurt, especially if it's cold. The lights would help keep them warm.

What are the temps out there? And how long are you giving them after transplanting before throwing them outside? I would give them a day or two in the new soil before throwing them in the cold. Might be like a double shock to them... Not sure.
 
Every thing is in my shed the heat keeps it above freezing the shelf with the seedlings has the heater stays70 ish the flowering she'll flucs up n down because no heater and I understand stand what u r saying about the light but I thought to see some pick up in growth seeing as how they were germd and vegd under 2 of the blue tubes that are like 15 watts each and it work last run only diff was I was using dirt and a bigger pot and a smaller cfl here look

if its really cold then add a warm white cfl, not ideal for veg but the extra wide band red and heat should boost their growth, just don`t let them get too cold during lights off or they may stretch keep the temp drop no more then 10c if you can
