Will Week Old Seedlings Survive Transplant?

Hey guys. This is my first grow and I've planted some bag seed. Check out the pics of my setup I got going here. 2 27w CFLs and 2 13w CFLs. I got a small fan off to the side for circulation. I just transplanted three 5 day old seedlings to pots containing the same soil they sprouted in. I've noticed the growth of the 4 plants are pretty different. One has huge fat leaves and the others have smaller ones. Could the transplant have stumped their growth? Also, for my setup, do any successful apartmentSANY0175.jpgSANY0170.jpgSANY0183.jpgSANY0178.jpgSANY0177.jpgSANY0176.jpg growers have any tips for me?

Lol dude, in total i transplanted my plant like 4 times, teice during seedling stage cause my cat
Knocked the pots down, taproot was even exposed for a bit, now that plant is big and beautiful and flowrin :). So i think ull be fine especially since itll have plenty of time to recover. But the plants so small u could prob transplant with minial stress

I transplanted mine a few times just take dirt and all and it wont even notice the move. also try and keep the lights closer to the plant it looks like it is stretching a little.

with cfl's you can keep the lights inches away form the plant and it wont harm them, it is actually better because at higher distances the light looses intensity

What lighting do you plan on growing those plants with? if you want decent weight or even size I would start looking for a new setup or a grow tent to keep the light in that area.

they are growing in a very small closet. its about 4' x 1.75' i dont think ill need a tent or anything like that because the space is already so small. i plan on getting 2 more 27w cfls and i figured that should be enough to grow a couple small plants

keep them close to the plant thats all, also home depot or lowes sells 43w CFL's (or close to that) they are equivalent to 150w normal bulbs so if thats in the budget try those.
