Bladed leafs on seedlings turning yellow/pale

The title says it all. And there is no picture necessary because it is exactly what the title says. The other leafs that look like weed leafs are actually normal, but the bladed ones are turning yellow and pale.
I'm growing with CFLs in a 1.5 by 2.5 area. I calculated the required lumens for that area and it should be around 16,000, but i put in CFLs that are generating more than 20,000 lumens. I still didn't put any nutrients in (Espioma) because they are still small. What brings me to my next point...my seedlings are growing extremely slow, I suppose that is because I'm using CFLs? And I have 4 of them in organic soil. And also, all 4 of them have the same symptoms of the bladed leafs turning yellow.
Any kind of help would be really appreciated because it is my second try of growing in a month.

Not sure what you mean by bladed leaves, but if you're talking about the bottom leaves that only have one "finger" it is probably perfectly normal for them to turn yellow and fall off after a few bigger leaves appear. Using cfls should not make plants turn yellow, unless (maybe) you have them way too far from the plants. Yellowing can be caused by nitrogen or iron deficiencies. Main thing to do is make sure you have all the basic stuff right and don't overwater.

I thought that it might be a nutrient deficiency because I didn't want to add any kind of nutrients because they were still small. But I added some Espioma organic plant food I think its called, and now I'll see

if your talking about your cotyledons, as mentioned. they die and fall off your plant.

...despite what you say, it is unlikely anyone will be able to do any more than guess at your problem although one thing that really jumps out from your description is that you don't know what you are doing, otherwise you wouldn't be asking this sort of question.

...this shit may be new to you homey but it ain't new so if you cared enough about your own success you wouldn't be asking this question you would instead be hunting for PICTURES that illustrated your problem so you could first find out if it is indeed a problem and if it is to then find a solution to it.

...personally, i expect your 'problem' is a sign of just how little you know.

...good luck grasshopper, maybe someone else will be willing to hold your hand.

maybe you have a lousy imagination and cant picture my problem, because as i said, a picture isnt necessary because it is exactly as how i described it
and if you dont have any advice, then dont fucking care to post a reply in the first place because i really dgaf about anything that you just said..."homey"

I reread your original post. I don't think you have anything to worry about. If the 3- or 5-finger leaves look OK, that's all that matters. The lower leaves are the first to fall off, but that just means the plant is shedding them because they've done their jobs and the plant can send more food and water to the parts that are still growing.

lol bozo so mean.

anywho the cotyledons will drop/turn yellow blah blah blah its normal.
