good looks mannn. im pretty much doin the exact same thing right now, expect im a few days behind you(mine are just sprouting). growing shit is fun and i have smoked plenty of joints while playing music to my plants haha
aha good shit man. the sad thing is today is one week from when i first planted from germinating. but thats cause i have crappy lights
 
smoking is horrible for your plants. it clogs their pores. and the minimum wattage needed for a plant is 2 23w cfl's. I did 2 23w cfls for 2 clones till i put them in flower and they grew great! I also was controlling my temps and humidity and stuff tho too. now i got my 2 girls under a 300w cfl and 125w cfl for flower so 425 watts. theyre doing great

just picked up some 23 watt cfls 5000k and 1500 lumens per bulb. replaced the old 13 watts with these new ones. will get more bulbs as they get bigger. hopefully they will start growing a lot better.

Good going, the more light the better... Your seedlings look fine, just need a days or so to lose the nut and spread the leaves, keep em moist and no nutes for first few weeks. After about 3+ weeks you will want to repot into big pot! Make sure you got drainage in your grow puts and happy growing.. You probably need to read this too:

yea when i replaced the bulbs i went out there an hour or 2 later and the nut fell off. so the lights were a great save and were only 12$ for a 4 pack

i use two 26w cfl's daylights per plant and i have 6 plants inside my closet room and six 26w softlights plus one 55w cfl's when i put them to flower and 2 automatic timers . Also i use fox farm soil with 1 gallon pots then i transplant them to 3 gallon pot with xnutrients grow , micro , bloom , with bud candy on a 18 hours on and 6 off on my veg and then it's just 12 on and 12 off and two fan's blowin air in and pushing out ........ and they work for me ........ if your on a budget then cfl's are the way to go ....... but am playing to go to a 400 hps as soon as i get the funds tho ..... by the way move ur cloths out of there , like SCROGLODYTE said " looks like a fire hazard.......be careful. put a closet within a closet in there. some thing to isolate your light away from clothes " ...... What i did was just took all my stuff out of there .... hope this was useful to u ......:leaf:

go to walmart and buy 2 26 watt= to 100 6500 k cool light , 6500k is best for vegging it emits a blue spectrum the plant uses for vegging and when going to flower switch you lights to 2700k warm light aka soft white this is best for flowering

you should look into the rubbermaids they work wonders for small grows, i use 2 35 gals put ontop of each other lights and fan mounted on top and side lights on bottom 1 and an intake comp fan on bottom. if your pressed for space you could always get like 2 15 gals and do the same. i just go to home depot and for 1.95 usd i buy the light sockets you use to install in your home just cut an extention cord and wire it up screw it in and hot glue the socket to the side
