First Ever All CFL Grow, 9 days vegging, 312watts!

So I have been browsing the forums for about a month now, I was paranoid about even joining let alone posting pictures, but to hell with it, here it goes. My plants sprouted on Sept. 26th, so currently 9 days of veg.

-Seeds were germinated using paper towel method, tap roots showed at 2 days. Seeds are bagseeds of a local outdoor grown nug, not sure on strands.
-Seeds were placed into 1 gallon pots with a mixture of hyponex soil, organic blends, and a special item from the water treatment plant. I am still researching nutes.
-Lighting is 12 26w 6500K CFL's, was going to switch to 2700K bulbs for flowering, but the $20 150w HPS sounds like a great deal.
-The grow space is inside a 32" TV cabinet, it is roughly 2.5/1.5/3.0ft, ventilation is provided by 2 intake and 2 exhaust fans. When moved to flowering they will be inside a closet with roughly the same dimensions, just around 8ft tall. The closet also has direct exhaust to the attic.
-Currently I am at 9 days of veg, plant growth is high rapid I believe I have almost 4/5 nodes right now.

Like I said I have never done this before so any constructive criticism is great. Ok so onto the good stuff, pictures:

Pic #1 is of my sprout at 2 days old.
Pic #2 is of my first girl at 9 days old.
Pic #3 is of my second girl at 9 days old.
Pic #4 is a side shot of new growth at 9 days old.
Pic #5 is a picture of my grow space
Pic #6 is all 4 of my girls (bottom right girl is only a week old)

Very nice setup. I like your ventalation scheme too Can I ask where you got those outlets for your lights? (splitters and such)

I purchased the outlets from walmart, they were like $7 a piece with the clamp and the reflector, the splitters were the next isle over for $1.97 a piece.

No love for a fellow CFL grower tonight... Just playing but I will have more pics up hopefully on a daily basis.

looks really nice man. where is that $20 150w hps at? g/l

looks like a good setup, they will be getting a nice amount of light with those cfls on the splitters, but hps is a good choice

Here is a quick update at 10 days veg. There is a little bit of new growth, I also added a damp towel behind the oscillating fan and I increased humidity to 46%. Should I be topping or adding nuts anytime soon?

I was going to wait until I found out if I had females or not, if I do have females I'll order the light from, http://www.e-conolight.com/Product/EProductDetail.asp?ProductFamilyID=7&FGNumber=E-MT6H151G, and set it up in my closet and use the TV cab growbox for vegging of clones.

Well another days has passed and I swear these things are getting massive. They are not getting very tall tho, more bushy, will this be alright or should I raise the lights a bit? I also changed the setup and moved the plants into my closet. Here's the pics:
