Commercial growers grow in greenhouses, and not under lights. They also generally grow plants at coolish temps (high 50's - 60's) which makes for stocky plants with a good root system. But your plants will be just fine too once they take off.

Should I fertilize them. I have sprayed the a few times with a VERY light mixture of seaweed and fish emulsion.

I'd fertilize with a 1/3 - 1/2 strength solution.
