good stuff man :D we seem to have a very similar setup. What lighting do you plan to use for flower? I'm subbed up btw :D

EDIT: Need to read more thoroughly. I think i've read that 2/3's 2700k is enough for flowering but im running 4x 23w 2700k for my girl.

Temp is staying at about 78-85F in the box.
Soil temp is staying around mid to upper 70's.
The cotyledons on the younger plant came out looking bruised and premature but are now gaining a dark green which i am assuming is the plant getting better.

Everything seems to be going well. and are the leaves curling cause im overwatering? they are in 4 inch clay pots and im watering once a day.

Looks like a nice setup.. Im doing a grow very similar to yours. What are the dimensions of your box?

I also had the same thing happen with one of my babies, the cotyledons came out light yellow, very unhealthy looking. The next morning they were beautiful green. Im going to sub to your grow man, me and you are very close together with sprouts and also similar boxes!

I urge to you give my thread a whirl, might give you some ideas.. once everything is in 100% full swing, of course.

Keep up the good work.. and good luck!

Thx yo.
Think its around 30" tall 20"wide and 12" deep.
 
The one in the ghetto pot is a sprout that was found outside of a friends house, i was told it was from a dumped ashtray so i have no clue what strain it is, they told me it has been growing outside for 2 weeks now which is amazing because its been below freezing a few times in the past 2 weeks but it survived, hope she grows up big and strong.
