Miracle Grow all around is bad.
It killed 3 of my friends plants..
shoulda listened
MG is too strong (chemicals) for marijuana...the soil is even to strong some people even flush the soil before even planting the seed or transplanting. The soil also has food that's suppose to last up to 3 months(if you don't flush soil first).. so your not suppose feed these first 3 months. And the nute's......... i would only use 1/8 to 1/4 of whats recommended or most likely you will have yourself some burned up plants. Flush before giving flowering nute's also. I really wouldn't use any of those nute's but the flower stuff. also you have to flush alot more than you would have to when you harvest due to allllllllll the chmical's in that shit. If you want to avoid all of this look for a local hydro shop even if its an hour away it would really really be worth it to get some nute's there. Thomas is right. Go with some Fox Farm or something, Nice setup though! LST is the way to go too!

Awww hearing MG is bad huh :/
Well hopefully the soil doesnt have a ton of nutes and will be okay. As for the flower nutes ill be sure to heed your advice and flush before them and dilute them just to be safe
.
No updates as of this morning maybe tomorrow.

Well no sprouts poking up yet :/ maybe that MG soil is too much, i think ill wait another day or two and then if they dont come up ill probably run down to the gardening store and get some good potting soil.
But still keeping me fingers crossed ;]

Ug 
they all died
I think i have been overwatering the seeds so that sucks. I have two that are germinating and i should get some more in an hour or two.
On the bright side i add chains instead of rope that way i can adjust the lights easily. I also taped up some of the loose wires so it looks a bit more clean.
So before this next batch im going to get some new potting soil or at least flush the soil i have.
If anyone has any other suggestions for helping me get these girls out of the ground i would love some tips.
OH and ps please look at the third picture of the four lights. I have two cracks running down the power strip adapters :/ and also there seems to be a slight yellowing on the part that attaches the actual bulb to the plastic base. Should i be worried? They might be getting too close and producing to much heat. I could always try to fit two strips that way they were more spread out?
Lots of problems but its a learning process

I dont think it is the soil I am using organic MG as we speak 3 rd week into flowering no problems except for a little ph problem in the begining. I am growing in a minifridge with 2 cfls, lst the plant during veg, and scrogged.

hey man, nice setup. i'm positive that your problem isn't the miracle grow, because that's all i use even though alot of people bag on it. in my opinion, try germinating the seeds in the paper towel until a really good root gets going( about half an inch or more), don't stick em in soil as soon as you see the root coming out. when a good root forms, then put into the soil, but only in a hole about three quarters of an inch deep with the root facing down. don't even think about nutes until plants already have their 7-pronged leaves. something i use when the plants are young to help keep from overwatering is one of those little syringe things that come with children's medicine. in a small container, two or three syringe fulls a day is plenty of water for your plants. oh and be sure you got proper drainage. good luck and 'scribed.

Update! I am germinating more seeds and have replaced my miracle grow cactus potting soil with some organic potting soil. I have some seeds cracking but i figure im going to wait until tonight or maybe tomorrow for the roots to poke out.

Under a sealybag they won't need watering. Just give a bit of a watering when they first go in the soil and take the bag off for 10 minutes each day to keep mold away. They should be really healthy after a few days.
They don't use much water early on. Easiest way to know is when the pot feels really light like it did after you put the soil in but before you watered it the first time.
