any more info than that? Nutes? soil? humidity? lights? ph? etc... The more info the better. Peeps here can tell exactly whats up IF you can give us more info. BTW I do like your setup. Are you growing for yield or are you growing to keep mother plants for clones?

Lower those floros, see the one leaning over to try and get light? They also look a little stretched. I don't know what's wrong with them exactly but lowering those floro tubes will help some. Get the floros about an inch or two away, they won't burn the plant. It probably wouldn't hurt to get them bigger homes either. But like Cidly said we need more info.

Never mind I see you have the leaning one tied down. What kind of floros are you using?

Right..... light are not brilliant. but grows can be done with these.these lights should be right on top of ur plants from seedlings. as you havn't done this they are stretching to the light therefore not having the nodes close to each other and becoming tall and spindely. hope this may help u. get some better lights. its so mush better if u got the spce and cash!

Not enough light and bad soil basically.

Consider getting a better light - a small HPS/MH or some large wattage CFL's. Also consider repotting your plants into something other than MG soil and without moisture control and time release capsules.

I appreciate your resources are limited, but if you want to bring these plants to harvest you need to improve your lighting and soil and nutrients.
