yup, good stuff. I have that too. The pipe cleaners are less bulky and great when the plants are small. I like the green stuff as the plants get bigger or when I need something longer than a pipe cleaner
New Grower First Grow since the 90's! WW, Critical 2.0xl, BB Domina

15 days.
Well they finally started to grow a bit the last 3-4 days. 2 of them( Critical 2.0 xl and a White Widow) are behind the others with the WW quite a bit behind. I dropped the lights down to about 25", the suggested veg hight, two days ago, they seem ok with it.
I've been watering just a little around the plants about 2-3" from the base of the plant in a circle with a squirt bottle.
Questions for everyone, so now do I start watering more heavily, or keep doing what I'm doing?
And do these plants look behind? A couple of them look small to me, especially one of the WW.
Here's a few pics. Water bottle cap for size reference. Last pic of the smallest WW.

Looks good to me. For watering I'd be VERY careful about overdoing it. I even need to tell myself this. One tip I learned is to water around the outside of the plant(if that makes sense.) This makes the roots seek out the water and allow them to develop quicker. But by the looks of it, you seem to be already a step ahead of me 
Some plants grow at different speeds. As you saw with mine, my goldilocks was in last place than all of sudden shot up out of nowhere. Just be patient, dont over do it with the watering. And allow mother nature to do her thang. It takes time many grows under your belt to get a good idea how to do everything.
Keep up the good work!

As far as your question about if you should water more heavy, I would advise 2 go with the less is more approach for now. It be awful to undue all your progress by overwatering. Take it nice and slow bub. But as you progress perhaps with every watering add a little bit more.
One thing I do is after I'm done watering, I wait about 4-5 hours and I set each plant on my lap. If the bottom of fabric pot completely soaks my leg, that means I've probably over done it. During this time I also tell my girls how beautiful they are. Wife is starting think I'm going a little crazy, maybe shes right!
By the way I noticed you're using DNC water only soil. Great choice! I seen alot of ppl have great results with that. Might want to look into getting those two products we were talking about. Mammoth P and Recharge. Very beginner friendly and your plants will thank you!

Nice to see another Texan taking matters into their own hands!
Day 34. So far so good. The 2 Critical 2.0xl's are still not performing as they should, but everything else is doing ok. Sorry about the pinkish pictures, and the dark pictures, the reflective sides I've put up mess with my camera phone.
