LOL, dude, you need more light and you need to put the light way closer to the plants. See how bad they are stretching? With cfls you can grow good bud but you need to keep the light about 1" from the top of the plants and the more lights the better. Use daylight full spectrum cfls for veg and soft white or warm white for flowering. Get those lights down close to the top of the plant and i would bury that stem up close to the two tiny round leaves. Those are going to fall over! I also put a 24" t8 shop light down near the base of the plants for extra light when they get a little bigger. Good luck.
