They are short and bushy for their age. I posted pics in a grow journal I started. My First Grow - Indoor CFL just wondering if they look normal to every one else. The two biggest are 1 month and 3 weeks old the next biggest is a month old and the seedlings are only 4 or 5 days old
First grow and my plants are growing short

they look fine there at that age
The plant on the left side of your first photograph appears to have a nutrient uptake or nutrient lockout problem. I would flush that plant with at least twice the volume of pH adjusted water as pot size. When I flush my plants I use a plastic milk crate in my bathtub to let the water drain through the pot easily. You want pH 5.8 for hydroponic and soiless (peat moss and coco coir) and pH 6.5 for soil.
Here is a nutrient availability chart

cfl lights makes shorter internodes, because of more blue in the cfls's light spectrum.
i think the left one show some defiencies.
but, after all, i see new pics: your plants look healthly, but, i think, if you want bigger plants, try to put more lights - OR try putting the led closer to your plants. every unneeded centimeters reduce power of light dramatically.
put lights as close as you can without burning the plants.
if you search about lux and distance , you can see what i mean. an example:
