Howdy mistersmokealot,

Daggum..it kinda looks like ya got an ez-bake oven going on there..lol. I know from experience,that those kind of floro bulbs are hotter than heck..do ya have a small,oscillating fan ? You need to have one running on them all the time-it'll help git rid of the heat and strengthen the stems..you gotta keep the lights close so they don't stretch-but you also have to worry about scorching them too. If you had some 4 foot long 40 watt floro tubes,or something similar but shorter..you could keep em only a couple, three inches away,and they wouldn't be scorched,plus that will keep em short and stout-in combination with a fan.

Also,don't water them until the soil is dry and they don't hardly weigh anything when ya pick em up-or when the leaves start to droop..whichever comes first. There's no need for ferts yet,the soil you're using,probably has a low maintanance dose of time-released ferts already in it. Just be sure to use water with a ph of 6.8 or so,if ya can,git a Brita water pitcher,gallon size,and run your water through the filter first,then test it with ph test strips,that you can find in the swimming pool maintanance area in Wal-mart,just to verify,that you have the right ph,low chlorine and low akaline solids.

Hope that I've helped..

Have a good one...Torog
