looking good so far
which soil are you using? the one with the slow/time release ferts already in it? if so only feed if they need it, it can be easy to overfert when using soil with the slow/time release ferts. id go with a basic greening fertiliser and a bloom enhancer, just for when the plants show a defficiency, the soil should have plenty of the main nutes in it already.
if its not the slow/time release stuff then look for a brand that has 2 types of ferts, one for vegging and one for flowering. stay away from the all purpose stuff if you can help it. i cant really help with specific brands they sell at walmarts, we dont have them here in Aus.
any reason not to just buy a good fert from online? GH Floranova grow and bloom are one that ive read a few good things about. or try find something similar to them.

Thanks for responding. The potting mix is a slow time release type of deal, says it feeds for up to 3 months. Should I just let it do its thing for awhile and hold off on the nutes? I've read about the gh flora nova series before, i thought it was primarily used to grow hydro, but maybe I'm wrong. I plan on getting a small hydro system an maybe a 5 gal bucket also. I did plan on buying the gh flora nova for that, so if i can use this stuff with soil, I'll kill 2 birds with one stone.

some nice looking plants there :)

i'm day 16 myself, growing from seed, and you look to be pretty much exactly where i am in growth and nutrients etc. i've just half an hour ago given two of my plants their first dose of nutrients.

I've gone with bio-bizz grow and bloom for now as i've seen good things from them.

Below is a WW plant day 16, took that this morning when i got up. the the cali hash is also looking nice and big like yours, i've seen people with little sprouts after 30 days. what setup are you using?

the GH website says its good for all types, seen a few soil grows using it with good results on here.
the plants are looking healthy now so i wouldnt add anything unless you start to see a bit of a deficiency, you could use something like CannaPK or GH Koolbloom once you reach the flowering stage just for an extra boost with no worries but go easy on adding any extra regular ferts to the soil since its already got that slow release stuff in it.

I dont have much space to work with its a small 2 x 2 x 8 closet. I added a wire closet shelve at about 4 feet up where i hang my relectors from. I'm using 2 100watt cfls with 5 inch reflectors and a a 150 watt cfl with a 10 inch reflector. Ive seen the homebox xs and i want to get 2 of them. One on each shelve. The deep green color in your plant is nice. What size pot are you using, I have to repot soon.

Thanks again pdaddy for the advive, good looks!!

i was fingering up money i couldn't afford to spend while i was setting up, so when i did spend this imaginary money, i could only justify one set of pots :D i went straight for 7.5L pots, filled em with soil, forgot to pre-soak the perlite and soil which might be a mistake, then dropped a different seed in each pot.

the pic doesn't do it too much justice, the leaves are a crazily nice deep waxy green, looks fantastic.

that looks like some real good going for CFL's :)
