the soil is some type of miracle grow/plant food mix, as for lights I'm using 5 flourescent lights hanging overhead(not sure of wattage or anything like that).

there is your problem.
a- miracle grow sucks for growing cannabis, you need to go get some foxfarm ocean forest potting soil and mix it with foxfarm light warrior and put a trace amount of lime in it as well. cannabis likes its soil at about 6.5-7.0 ph . i have tested the mix above and it reads at 7.0 flat! not only that but the "plant food" in miracle grow are a bunch of chemicles not organic! this kills the roots system of your plant.
b- you need to get a handle on your light situation . you need daylight/blue spectrum florescent lights for vegging and red spectrum florescents for flowering. (i wouldnt reccomend flowering with cfls) just do yourself a favor and buy yourself a high intensity discharge lamp.

as for you current plants i dont know if you can save those. they look pretty fucked up. i see multiple problems with your plants. you have a definate ph problem, it looks like you have a bad case of nutrient lock going on, as much i hate to say it. throw those out and start over with the right materials. and do yourself a favor go read the entire GROWFAQ. good stuff in there a great refferance for rookies (i use it all the time)

everyone either has their own favourites or even their own personal mix.

personally i use plagram soil from the Netherlands, has bat guano in and is specifically made for cannabis, plants do not need feeding for at least 4 weeks.
