i HAVE NOW SWITCHED TO A 20/4 LIGHT CYCLE UNTIL THE NEW BULBS ARRIVE.
What effect do you think this will have on the plants?
Would you consider them ruined.

Any changing or fiddling about can stress a plant. If it doesn't harm it, it could turn hermie on you from stress. This is probably not going to happen since it is rare, and a few varieties are real spoiled while others can take anything you throw at them. Just try not to change stuff too much or too often. 20/4, 18/6, 24,0 - it won't really matter much at this point. Different cycles have different pros and cons, but as long as you have a veg cycle right now things are on the right track and the babies will probably turn into toddlers. PS. if you type in all caps on the internet it means you are abbreviating or yelling.

I was thinking of doing this (keeping the light 1 foot back) but i am worried that it will stretch the plant looking considering i have the wrong bulbs at the moment.2700K

No matter what the light, you want to keep it back from plants that have just sprouted. Over a period of about 2 weeks you should gradually move it closer until it is as close as the plant can stand without stressing it. That's an inch or two with CFL, anywhere from 4 to 18 inches with HID, and 0 inches if you have a properly set up cool tube.

try this game called O-GROW its pretty good growing guide...
Why the sarcasm?

I'm not sure he was being antagonistic. I kinda thought he was tyring to help. Another great guide/game is HighGrow. Both are available here: downloads drugs and cannabis related downloads like games drugtest and a rolling handbook Incase anyone is interested, here's some info and download links from the site:
O-Grow 1.0 (10 mb)
Released in 2006 O-Grow is the first continuous-play marijuana growing simulation game on the PC.

This educational program realistically imitates the life-cycle of the Cannabis plant. You'll be able to adjust the lighting, water, fertilize, prune and care for your developing plants, while learning more about them at the same time! File is zipped.

I think both of those are really cool programs, and have a bunch of good information on how to grow.

How far awayshould the fan be.I bought a desktop oscillating fan today and have it on a low setting a few inches from the plants. They are still young and the stems seem to movewith the air.

That's good that the plants are moving with air, but at this stage it should be real slight. In fact you don't really need to make this happen for a couple weeks. When they start growing good, then they should be gently rustling in the breeze, not getting uprooted and flying away in a hurricane. This makes them much stronger overall, and more likely for a branch to hold a big glob of bud. However, you do need to keep the air from getting stagnent by exchanging it occasionally with a fan. The plants will probably move a little from this. How big? How far away? Depends on a lot of things, especially the cfm of the fan. Oscillating is good. Just make them gently and slightly move, then as they get bigger, make them move more aggresivelly. Keep in mind more ventilation means lower humidity.

I hope I answered your questions. Good luck.
