So I'm new to growing and found this thread. My babies are about 4 inches tall and 3 weeks old with lots of leaves. I'm growing bag seeds and also using cfls. I'm using 8 for a 3X1.5X2 box. 4 blue 4 red. I have 10 plants in there right now.

yea, transplant to a bigger pot, and change out those lights, 6500k (bright white/ daylight white) for vegging, hold onto those warmer, yellow-er bulbs for flowering, but right now they are only slowing you down

similar to my grow problems aswell.. stunted growth i figured it out to be the soil in the end.. try coco and perlite and a tiny bit of stop soil and dont give nutes. i think will be good... i would love to know answer to why your leaves look like that though.. because i have similar ones
here are my plants maybe someone here can help aswell

too much water maybe. keep ur soil moist. maybe feed it some vita max 1-1-2... cfls are not ideal for growing weed. i would use a mh 600w and transplant!

This looks like it is overwatering but that could be the results of waiting too long to transplant into a larger container. Having them all cramped forces you to water too much; if you see any puddling on top from compaction that's bad drainage & you should add some perlite to your mix. Going with a bigger pot and fresh mix should fix it. Also be sure no leaves are touching the soil; remove any growth down at the bottom of the canopy.
