Please help! First grow! Cfl pc grow-PICS!

Hello!
I have been researching for quite a while and have recently taken a beginners plunge into growing, or trying to.
I three some seeds in a pot outside and surprisingly one sprouted! I transplanted into a red solo cup and unfortunately am usingthe cheapest soil (no nutrients) that was available, and I hurriedly put it under 2 6500k 23w cfl's.
Plant was transplanted and put under 24 h light with 2x23w cfl 6500k on 9/19/2012
I added a little distilled water after the transplant and im pretty sure i overwatered the plant because the leaves have shriveled up and are starting to yellow! Can anyone help me out please? How long does it usually take to recover from overwatering??

I also built a new pc case for my veg box!!!
I have 2x23w cfl 6500k currently.
Also have 2x80mm fans, 1xintake, 1xexhaust.
Also did the inside with a windshield reflector. Any tips to make it better?

I will be vegging in this pc case, but for flowering i have a 2drawer filing cabinet i will be using. I plan on at least having 4x43w cfl 2700k. Currently plan on painting inside white, mounting a piece of plywood in the roof to mount my lights on. Kinda havin trouble figuring out a good way to ventilate but still be stealthy looking.
Hve a ph meter coming soon.
Also have plans to get fox farms ocean forest soil and some ph up/down.
Any other suggestions or tips for a beginner? Please help me out! Thanks!!

Distilled water has no minerals in it, your plant is starving, get some fert and go lightly. To reflect the light better line the inside with flat white poster board.
