This thread epitomizes what makes the 420 forums the best. All of you guys coming together to help a completely clueless new grower (no insult intended, Johnny Crack! Many were there once) get over the hurdles of learning to grow. It's awesome.
Good luck, JC. My advice is to read, and then read some more. There is so much invaluable information in this forum and so many that have started where you are and are now successful growers. Never stop learning and never give up.

Cooking as in letting it sit, has something to do with microbes

I tried using home style led and it just wasn't enough light. I eventually added 3 cfls but it was too late for them. I'll link to my thread and at the end I have a summery of what I did wrong. Not sure when to harvest

Get baked while preparing your soil yes.

It's like letting your compost sit. Some saying it "cooking" because of the wait time. Your letting all the good stuff settle in..

I put them into a peat/humus/compost mix with 25%perlite and crushed up some eggshells and mixed in, I heard that's a source of calcium, they are looking happier now i dont see any defects on new growth

it wont happen again. I also fed a 6-3-8 veg fertilizer at 1 tsp per gallon. Wont use it often because im pretty sure that's alot of k for veg but idk i git it from the grow store and it says veg on the bottle..They are looking pretty good to me. Nice training. I topped mine instead, but taking 3 nodes of growth off is pretty painful. I did it to try to clone them, as they aren't feminized. This way I can force flower the clones... at least I theory.
Anyway, as I was saying, your plants are looking great. Still just using cfl?

Hi, im growing unknown strains in mg potting soil. 6 23 watt cfls about 3 inches from babies. Just giving tap water, im not sure of the PH i need a meter.could this be a deficiency? A burn?
If it's in MG soil I assume you mean miracle grow? It's likely to be nutrient burn from the miracle grows built in nutrients, it can be a bit too strong for seedlings.
