Lowryder 2, 3 day old seedling looking healthy or sad?

Hey guys!,

Hows everyone going, im a long time reader of rollitup finally thought id join in on all the knowledge and happy times for myself! I got a few lowryder 2 fem seeds from a buddy, this is the first time i have ever attempted growing but ive always been interested in it and have spent alot of time reading the threads on this site, now i kind of jumped straight into this without buying the right equipment but i was just to dam excited to wait haha, i built myself a small 2ft by 1ft box with 4 23w cfl's, i have no idea the ph of my water but im using some purified tap water, when i brought my soil (osmacote seedling starter) i was told the ph should be between 6.0-6.5 which i believed to be alright, i have no nutes or anything and im probably not gonna bother with any for this grow, maybe just some organic stuff from the local nursery. anyways i got 3 seeds, germed 1 seed in paper towel didn't pop to well planted it in some old potting soil nothing happened :(, next seed i put straight into the old potting soil let it germ in there, after 4 days it popped but died the next day :( RIP, now these 2 seeds were planted in soil that had been watered well then just misted a couple times a day except for a light pouring every night, i think i over watered noob mistake i know haha, now this 3rd and final seed is were i used the new potting mix, put seed straight into it after i had watered the soil, seed popped 4 days later and is now 3 days after she popped and i was just wondering how she is looking, the first seed that popped never got to get to its first true leaves but this one has :) is she growing ok for her age? i will be getting a ph meter soon so i can be certain on what my water levels are but for now i just want to see how she is going. im so excited i got her to grow this far haha, just hope she can keep going, also i had her about 10inchs away from the lights and i think she may be a little stretched, what do you guys think? also the 4 cfl's i have are 2700k, i live in a small town and theres not many stores here and they didnt have any 6500k or 5000k, will these still work for veg, i thought being an auto and having such a short veg cycle it will be ok? being my first grow im not expecting much so all im really aiming for is a quarter ounce at the most, anything more would be unreal :). anyway take a look and give us a few tips guys would be much appreciated! also theres some brown stuff on one of the leaves but that has been there since she sprouted not sure what it is but i doubt it will do any damage?

Don't grow seedlings in such a big pot. It makes it very tough to know when to water. Put them in small dixie cups till they mature. Also - get the lights as close as you can - a couple inches from the canopy. Don't feed them ferts for a couple weeks.
 
Thanks for the info dude, il be sure to put them in small pots next time, ive put the lights about 2 inchs away hopefully that will be alright, sure thing i will not be adding anything for a while, so even thou i did a few things wrong how do you think it will turn out? is she looking alright?
