1st Grow DWC + CFL + HPS

This is my first proper grow so i am going to start documenting everything now:

I have 5 plants growing ( all from random baggies ) under one 23w CFL 6500K light,
Im planning on taking them all the way through vegetation under this light then taking clones of the females and flowering them under a 600W HPS... Reason i cant start them off under hps is because of space/stealth issues.

They were germinated just in a damp cloth, got arond 5/10 germinated.
Started off in seed raising mix but recently changed them over to a mixture of potting mix and perlie, with clay balls at the bottom and drenched in old fish tank water and dutch master nutrients A+B...

I want as much feedback as possible...
and i am planning on painting the inside of the chest perfect white either tomorrow or the next day...

You are gonna be lacking a quite a bit of light for your vegging period, exactly how long did you intend to veg for?

Veg another three weeks under cfl 24/0 then moving under hps under 24/0 for 2 weeks then cut them back to 12/12 under hps to flower. Sound alright? Do u think i should try get another few lights in there or something?

Im pretty sure my seedlings are streching towards the light, can u tell in the pics? I'll get some better pics very soon.

and also i want to move one of the plants to my Bubbler setup, can someone explain how i should go about doing this? do i just gently pull the plant out with the root and wash it in ph corrrected water then insert it into the clay balls making sure the roots are touching the water level..

or maybe it would be easier just starting another seed off in there... if thats the case do i just germinate in a paper towel then once it sprouts place it on the clay balls then sort of water mist it every few days? Really wish i had bought rockwool cubes last time i went to the hydro shop, a lot easier i think.

anyway im out, peace

babbies are growing nicely i think, have a bright green colour to their leaves:
