Through all it's hardships...how does this plant look?

The burns on it are from when that part of the plant was touching the bulb, I have a steady nice fan blowing on the plants and the lights now so that problem was averted, I was just wanting to know if this plant looks anything like it should after 16 days in the vegetative stage. The leaves are slightly droopy from overwatering which i found out earlier, so I'm trying to learn when and how much to water better, right now I'm just waiting for the soil to dry out about.

Been growing for 16 days in vegetative stage
Lights are on 24 hours
3 27W 6500K CFL bulbs
A mix of soil from garden, perlite, and some schultz potting mix.
Just transplanted to the container shown in pic, and planning on transplanting to a 3 gallon bucket soon enough. Looking to get experience, and to grow a 2ft or less tall plant (for stealth reasons)

Any and all commments appreciated.

the bulbs are too close. move them back 2". also, when whe is ready get her into a black or dark container. or just wrap that one in duct tape. roots don't like light. are there any holes in the bottom of that container? how often are you watering and with what? nutes?

looks like some pretty severe moisture stress. it looks way overwatered at the moment. good call on waiting for it to dry out. it needs it. give it a week or so. other than that i've seen a lot worse. once the moisture situation gets straightened out you will have to observe the progress at that point. a week from now that plant should look a lot different if you leave it alone. the lights do look awfully close but i don't see any signs of burn on the new growth. if there is an excess of heat it could exaggerate your moisture stress. it's hard to say if you should back them off without being physically present, though.
