not looking to bad dude:) i would buiry them a bit deeper but everting looks fine.

what is the soil mix off, is it a mix at all (see white dots but can't tell if it really perlite or something else)? whats about drainage of the pots?
how old are those plants? do you pH the liquids going into your grow?? what about themps/fan/ light source and the rest?

i know, i'm kind of nosy but i want to help if i can;) and with that info the rest can jump in too:D

micro nutes?! be glad that my hands can reach your neck son;) bad stuff!
20-15-20 isn't the best NPK for grow nor flower, rather get now soil and some nutes specific for veg and flower. so 25- 5/15 - 10/20 really for veg, needs lots of N for that job of growing. for flower you need less N but more K, so 10/15 - 5/10 - 15/25.

and no nutes till week 3-5, okay. until then normal soil will hold everything in stock for your babies. so get that miracle crap soil out o your grow;) now!;)

what light color do this CFLs have, for veg you need 6500K/ cool white ones, and a bit more light then those 13W put out would harm your babies;)

see if you can get a few more, and this then in 6500K, 4000K is to close to the green spec and with that wasting a lot lumen you plants will need later on.

and get on the soil issue by the way if you go shopping for cfls, that miracle crap has to go fast, it is a real weed-killer! time release nutes are the plague

it is a bit stretched still, in terms of steam from soil till leaves but almost perfect, if you can dig it out and deeper in again, the pot seems to be perfect from its volume:)
