Sounds to me from the tips going brown that the soil is too "hot" i.e theres too much fert in the soil for seedlings, especially if its a sat or sat dominant strain as they dont like much fert and most will grow quite happily with minimal added ferts.

Try starting yr seedlings in a small pot or foam cup or whatever of light mix soil for seedlings and cuttings, then transplant into the stronger FF soil after a week or two.

No you need to implement a wet - dry cycle straight away, soak the soil till run off then leave it til its nearly dry, depending on your size of first pot they shouldnt need watering for a few days at least, my first seedlings i water weekly on average, first seedlings water uptake is very minimal, then as the plants grow you'll notice the soil drying up quicker as water uptake increases with the amount of leaves they have, every leaf transpires water, so more leaves = more water uptake.

1 or 2 tiny leaves = hardly any water uptake.

So, cut back on the watering and try starting in a lighter soil.

I only water seedlings and small plants once every 3-4 days, and make sure you have good drainage...no food till around 1 month.. luck.

How close are your lights, If your saying that your plants are falling over, the light might be to far away.
CFL don't really get hot so you can have it close with out burning your plant.
