Well i figured i should start a grow journal, cause im a couple steps into the process with plants already sprouted. Ive been taking all of this great information in and applying it as i go. So my set up has 2 bright white lights and another not as bright cfl one for flowering which i was informed was ok to mix lights. I took off the foil from the side of the case from me reading about hot spots and such so here is some pics the beginning to now and i know my setup isnt ideal but its working so far. Any ideas/help would be appreciated, i know it may be to soon but i was wondering when is a good idea to start adding the nutrients
Light schedule: 18/6
soil: Ocean Farm

you should bury them up so thier is a 1/2 to 1 inch of stem sticking out of the soil below your first set of leaves other than that they look alright .

Thats where im kind of stuck on is how big should the pots be if im just doing a small grow like this and whats the best way to move the plants without any damage?

The pots your using are good but just use one each i would also recommend you get a screen of some kind and do a scrog style grow. Moving those plants will be difficult i would just scoop them out gently with my hands and have another pot ready to put them in.

alright so update and some changes:

I tried centering my lone plant and i accidentally ripped the roots as said above so i moved it today and it already had signs of new roots growing put it in a smaller half water bottle for space reasons so i could put new soil where it was and transplant one of my other plants from the pot with two to this new empty one so i have some new pics and i was surprised how huge the roots were on my two healthy plants :D and then grabbed a picture of the new sprout that came out of no where lol any comments or suggestions?
