Far too tall and skinny. You need a lot more light, it's going to collapse under it's own weight.

I started it on 24 hours of light and the light was about a foot and a half away from the seedlings at 300w led.
whats your recommended distance for 2x 100w equalevent cfl?

Sorry, I don't have much good experience with led but I can say 2 x 23W cfl is worthless. For my newborns I use 8 x 40W flourescents in a reflective box with the light about 4 inches from them. Never farther than that, with flourescents they can even be closer. Then I switch to a 400W metal halide about 14 inches away when they are about 2-3 weeks old

How many lumens are your fluorescents? Cause each of my cfl are equilvent 100 w fluorescent and have 1600 lumens each.

btw, I just read your statement again. Your cfl's are not equivalent to 100w fluorescents, they are equivalent in brightness to standard 100w incandescent bulbs.

2900 Lumens each, so a total of 23,000 lumens, and I only use them for a couple of weeks when they are small. CFL's are worthless for growing.
