Yea man, those fall off as the plant gets older. No worries man. And yes, get the lights A LOT CLOSER! Those fuckers are stretching bad. Might also want to step the lighting up.

Four weeks is roughly a month..check out my journal..they are a little over a month...
If you look at the nodes, they are spaced WAY apart. This is because they are not getting enough light, so they are stretching up towards it. The stems don't look very strong either...
What kind of light do you have on them now?

u can put those cfls up to an inch or 2 next to the plant.. after 4 weeks your plant should be between 8'' and 1' tall...but bushier than that....repot your plant and put the soil right up to those lil yellowing leaves and that will help u regain strength in the main stalk.. buy a couple more cfls and put em up there...

they're too stretched out. It's gonna be hard to get a lot of light to the plant because the leaves are so far away from each other now. Plants that get a lot of light from the start stay short (they don't need to stretch to get light) and grow more leaves (denser growth)
With CFLs you can have the light almost touching (but not) and the plant will be fine. A short, dense plant works well with cfls because they don't require as much light penetration. You should look up Screen of greens and Low stress training if you haven't. These are methods that work well with CFLs because the plants must be very close to the bulb in order to have enough light to flower a decent amount of bud.
hope that points you in the right directions but your plants remind me of GP420
BTW what kind of soil is that? Miracle gro? That would explain the nute burn/deficeincies
