Is there anybody out there?

Hi all,
I'm not really a newbie, but I'm starting to feel like one. I've had many successful grows in Florida and Georgia, both indoor and out, but now I'm in L.A. and shit's not happening for me. I tried one batch of seeds a month ago that I tossed, and the same thing that happened to them is happing now. They pop just fine and grow there first little leaves, and then they stop growing. I've got four strains that I bred myself (Grape/skunk x mikado, Maple leaf x Mikado, N.Y.C. Diesel x Mikado, and Stinky fruit/ Cotton candy x Mikado). They are all in Dixie cups with holes in the bottoms under a 200watt CFL in my closet (the light is ~16" above them). It is very well ventilated and the temperature ranges from 78* to 82*. The soil is Fox Farm Ocean Forrest and I've only used purified water, no nutes. Any advice would be helpful. What could I be doing wrong? Thanks guys.

cfl's way too far away, thats all your doing wrong

how often do you water them what light cycle is it set to, if its indoors?

How far should the light be? The light is on 24/7 and they get watered every other day or so. Just until a few drops come out the bottom.

cfls should only be about 3 inches or less away

if you only got 1 cfl's you need more and idealy u need to be there daily to keep each light arround 1" awat from your plants

It's a 200watt full spectrum CFL, a big boy. Not a bunch of the rinky dink kinds that screw into regular outlets. It doesn't get too hot, but there is some heat. Wouldn't 1" or even 3" burn them?

ahh im not sure then if its not a norm cfl but 16 inch still sounds too far away
