ok everyone i messed up. for the past week i was growing my 6 sprouts with 3 26w soft white cfl bulbs.obviously my plants were growing incredibly slow. so i ran down to home depot and got some 27w daylight cfls. now i have 5 cfls on my 6 sprouts . my question is did i do irreprable damage to my sprouts? and if i did can i save them?

No you are good just add more light and more and more, with cfls the more light the better, with blue spectrum (65k)for veg and red (27k)for flower. Are they streching, can oyu see damage??

well if the stem i really long you can add some soil and burry it more or put a stint to keep it upright, but if it keeps streching it will fall over. Some pic would really help....

You can just add some soil and you will be golden, but in a week or so you will definately need more light..... My wanna bump those to some 42 watters..... Or go here and get some real wattage.....Light bulbs, Rope Lights, Halogen and Fluorescent bulb - 1000-Bulbs - The Light Bulb Superstore
