First Grow with CFLs, homemade box

[daihashi]

I started 5 or 6 seeds, realized 1 bulb wasn't gonna be enough. So I put them in the corner of my closet and put them under a couple more lights. I put them in bigger pots when they got bigger. 2 of them didn't break ground fast enough (I'm impatient), so I chucked them

Your plant in the third picture here is suffering from heat/humidity problems. Plus that soil looks really really dry. And in the second picture it looks like you are barely watering it. You need to get the entire medium evenly moist when watering. Not sopping wet, but just nice and moist.

What is the temp at the plant level? What is the humidity level in the grow area?

I germinated the seeds in January, using paper towel method. Germinated within a few days, planted them in a few plastic cups using Miracle Grow Potting Mix (I won't do that again...pain in the butt). Just gave them tap water (after leaving it out for 24 hours). Put them under one 23W CFL 2300K. Here's the pics of the "birth" :) Rating: 5
