I've been putting together a small grow box for about 2 weeks now and it's finally done, i'd like any tips or opinions on the setup or the plants :)
Also, 2 of my plants stopped growing, and i have no idea why. Theyre not dying, just not growing.
box dimensions are 4'x2'x2'

How old are they and what kind of soil is it?

They are about 2 weeks old and Scotts premium potting soil.

Maybe I'm wrong, but they look like they stretched and fell over. Looks like the lights could be a little closer too.
Try propping them back up, and if ya can, move the lights to about 2 inches from the leaves. (keeps 'em from stretching.)
Also, do you have a digital thermometer to keep an eye on the temps?
Are you getting good drainage on the small one's? Might need to transplant them already.

They do look a lil stretched but they look like they have been tied down. Is this an LST grow?

yes this is an LST grow :)
as you can see im a bit limited on space and i decided LST was the best way to try and keep em on the smaller side.
I don't have a digi thermometer in there, but i have a galileo thermometer that is in increments of 5 lol
I'm taking pictures every two days and when its harvest time i plan on posting a grow log here :)
Hopefully everythings go's smooth, I figured out the reason they stopped growing was due to stress from the transplant, one plant died from it, and the other is doing great now :)

It looks to me that you are using the 2700k light range. Is that right? If you are, I would invest and replace those CFL's with a light range of 6700k for vegging. The plants light reciptors prefer light in the blue light spectrum for growing.
