Lol not enough light and didn't germinate just threw some seeds in soil put it under a lamp light (incandescent) and then from there tried to figure it out. Out of those little seedlings three are still alive and plants in picture my cat ate the rest haha. And two are confirmed females not sure on the third yet. What size pot do you think I need I have them in 3 gallon pots and put them into flowering do you think o need to get bigger pots. There growing super fast since I threw them into flower

don't leave the plate full of water you will kill the seedlings, the soil needs to dry out, ( and keep the cat out lol )
The pot size is looks good for the size of the plants
put the seedlings in there own pot (1ltr is a good size to start off with)
try and bury all the stem, just leave 1"
the stem will turn into roots and help the plant grow quick and heathy
you need more light over the seedling to stop them streching

Those seedlings are now the big plants in the other picture I just included pics to show from where I started to where they are now. There about a foot and half tall now and only getting taller I just hope the 3 gallon pot is large enough to flower in. Sorry if I put this in the wrong section I just joined today

sorry fellow looked like you had some more seedling on the go lol
you can lift the plants out the pot and see how much roots mass there is
the plants stop growing roots 2-3 weeks in flower and redirct most the enegy into growing buds
so as long as the roots are not thick and soild you will be fine
never had a problem with floweing plants off in a 3 gallon pot

heat problem ?
Your temps can go upto 35c without any problems, if you humidty is low add a swamp cooler as this will increase the humidty and decrease the temps

My plan is to run the insulated ducting from my air conditioner thru the air cooled hps light and extract it into the attic. I have been using a oscillating fan and a box fan to bring in colder air from the room
Into the closet and the oscillating fan to spread it but still having heat problems

Comes with the go box. I was going to say silica.
OP, looks like they're a little overwatered to me. Other than that, they look healthy.

Thats pretty handy..yeah man silica is sweet as fuck.just started using it n am amazed with the results...maybe some rizotonic (canna) most other stuffs a gimmick tbh. I'd suggest dialing ur shit in n then try other products

The go box has everything you need except silica. I've found that the chart they give you though... Yea it's bullshit. There's recommendations for heavy and light feelings on the bottles, but just like any bottled nutes, you gotta feel them out.
Silica is great for heavy yielders. Prevents a lot of crazy support fabricating in flowering and seems to help bounce back from supercropping.
