i noticed 2 days ago, 2 of my plants started turning yellow in the middle, and the 3rd has very droopy leaves.. i dont know is it overwatering or underwatering.. because the soil drys out so fast i water the plants every other day.. i think the temp is high (87) and the humidity is very low,, is that the problem?? or do they look fine ?
the lights are 2 x cfls 36W 6500K

I'd get those lights as close as possible w/o burning the top(s) . . . and run an oscillating fan on "lo".
Water THOROUGHLY when you do, then try and leave the po' lil' seedlin' alone. The top couple of inches being dry wouldn't mean you need to water when dealing w/babies. The roots should be in the bottom soil, so if you don't have one, you may want to invest $10 in a water wand, which is basically a meter with a probe that you stick down in your soil.

Of course you have to take the planter's size into consideration when dealing w/water issues. A seedling should not be drying out every day or two in a pot the size pictured. If in fact it is, then it's time to transplant.

I'd do my initial planting in a smaller (4" X 4"?) container. There's more space in a square/rectangular planter than in a same sized round one. Your planter is much too big for this phase, IMO.

they have been growing for 3 weeks.. i know its longer than usual.. they should be bigger than now from what i've seen from other posts.. but i think its because for 2 weeks there was only one light and the cabinet walls werent white..
by the way, it took the seeds TWO WEEKS to germinate so maybe its just the strain, some grow slower than others..
