Windowsill grow.
Throughout the first week the weather was amazing.
Second week it's pretty much been cloudy all the time.

Just looking for some input to how they're doing
Is it normal for them to be leaning towards the sun?
One of them seems to be leaning looads.
I might have overwatered them slightly in the first week but I've learned my mistake and am now only watering when the top few cm of soil is dry.

So yeah, any advice on what to do now to make them healthier if they need to be?

100% normal for them to lean/stretch towards the sun. They want that good shiz...a/k/a the light!! Not sure where you are living but you could move them outside in the coming few weeks, once it no longer frosts. They look like they are doing what they do, keep it up. You would do yourself a HUGE favor by getting some CFL's up near them!!!! Oh, read all the stickies in the Newb/Noob section, it helps loads!

Cheers man, I was planning on moving them outside because of the awesome weather, THEN IT SNOWED. IN THE UK. IN APRIL.
So yeah I'm going to keep them in until the weather calms down a bit.

best light I have at the moment is some 60W shit haha, will that make any difference if I use that as well as the sunlight?

They look great for two weeks old. The 60 wats will probally help at night when they dont have any sun. The sun is the best source though, even when its kinda cloudy. They look great.

That means a lot to me man ^^

They're purple power which is supposed to be good in temperate climates like the UK, so maybe that's helping them with the lack of sunny weather.

If I put the 60W on them at night, is there a certain time I should turn it off or whatever, because I'm sure light all night won't be good for them..?

Also, it's an incandescent bulb, so I don't know if it'd work that well, and it also causes quite a lot of heat output. Should I bother using it or not?

Ohhh. I wouldnt us e an incandescent bulb becasue of the heat like you said. I leave mine in the sun at during the day and at night put them under the lights. Yours are just as big as mine without the extra light though. I thimk yours are fine the where they are.
