Stretching?

[estranged]

hello all,, just wondering if could get some advice on some 17 day old plants,,

got 5 growing ,, but only one seems like its doing well,,
the other 4 are all growing like in a V shape,,
umm,,
like there leaves are growing up and slightly out like a V
where as the other one is growing out wide and bushy staying short,,

they all under the same 18,000 lumens of 6500k,,
there is posible chance that the one is different strain as one was but lost track when planted,
but just seems like these other plants are not doing well ,, there leaves seem crispy all the time and curled in on themselves,,
but here some pics as i am a bumbling idiot, thanks for any suggestions,,
pics not great quality best i can do,,

this is one of the stretching ones

heres the one that looks like doing good to me

and quick pic of all of them,,
oh ya and the one with yellow leaves,, was the best at one time then just stoped growing,,
oh ya and the ones that are growing V shaped are even worse now as these pics were 3 days ago,,
the lights are about 2 inches away on most,,( cfls)

Re: Stretching??

i just might be paranoid as this is my first grow,,
but here are some pics i just took,,
now another plant is starting to yellow on tips of leaves,,

here are some more pics

here is the worst "V" one and "best" one side by side

here is the "v" stretched?
4 of them are like this

and the "good" one again

but i hope just paranoid and they will start to grow out rather then up soon and stop yellowing when i transplant to better soil maybe??

they look pretty compact between the nodes,

how often do you water? a small container will not hold a lot of water

hows the air flow?

i would like to lower the lights but in seting up the lights i failed the chain long enough to go down any further ,, hence the boxes,,
ya i need nutes,, but something from department store is all that is available to me and have no clue yet what to get,,

but anyways decided to start a journal for further progress/problems
thanks all for the input and hopefully your continued support,,

oh ya too answer your question hightide
when they were in those pots i watered pretty much every day with a mister spray bottle cause afraid of over watering,,

now they in bigger pots for now and water likely every other day by the looks of it,,
i think i got too much vermiculate in there or something,, but rather under water then over water,, i plan on transplanting once more before flowering,,
and i put the fan back in to move some air around and a humidifier,,

if you cant lower your light any more then raise the plants.
