The link led to your grow, not anybody that transplanted. Did I do something wrong?

BTW, not so good news, I left the plant in darkness from last night's dark period to around 2 PM today (Dark period starts 11:15 PM). I had accidentally hooked the power strip up to master power, which I shut off when I leave the basement. Just what I need more stress. Anyway, lights are back on and I added a 15 Watt (60 Watt Eqv.) CFL along with the 23 Watt (100 Watt Eqv.) CFL. Both are red spectrum. The surroundings are in darkness so it looks kind of weird, should be alright, I hope. I t should be enough light, the lights are suspended just above the plant, really close.

Help Point: How many times a day do I water, and judging by the size of my pot (in pics) how much water?
-Never grew in soil, that's why it's such a newb question.

Seedling Update: For some reason it's not growing. It's still the same as it was in the picture, bent over unopened. Idk what's wrong, could it be the rockwool?

Part of your problem is that you are using Red Spectrum bulbs. Red spectrum is for flowering not for growing/vegging. You need to get Daylight - Blue Spectrum bulbs. Maybe that will help.

I know, I had a nice blue spectrum that I used, I cannot find it. I used it for Mixed Spectrum flowerring too. I'm going to replace it. WHich brings me to this question.

I have this Halogen bulb by philips, but it's not the large kind that require ballasts and such. It's a Natural Daylight bulb using all spectrums, looks nice. It's 60 Watt, but can it be used for weed? It has 650 Lumens behind it.

Thought so...oh well, I found another CFL lying around, a 60 Watt Eqv., it gives off a purple looking light, so it can't be red spectrum, possibly mixed?

Yea its probably mixed, you can pick up a 4 pack of 23 watt, 100 Wat equivalent bulbs for like 2 dollars, i found some at a local Do-It Center

That's an awesome deal, can't get that deal around here though. A 46 Watt CFL cost $11 here. Complete rip off, I think the 23 Watts cost like $7 per bulb.

Good idea no doubt, and I'm going to have to buy some new bulbs soon. Good news though, I found my Blue Spectrum bulb, its 14 Watt (60 Watt Eqv.). I have it over the plant now with a 23 Watt Red Spectrum.

Alright, still little to minimal growth going on here. I'm getting frustrated with both plants now. The seedling is hardly moving but it's looking better. As for, the transplant, minimal growth, I haven't given it nutrients yet seeing as I didn't want to inhibit any stress due to its transplant. I'm flowering in 2 days, soil is still kind of damp from the last watering (2 nights ago). I might add an All Purpose Mircale Grow tab to the dirt, maybe it'll boost growth. What do you guys think, should I do this even though soil is still damp, don't want to over water.

Good news guys, both plants showing improvement! Pics coming soon! The AG seedling has started opening (about time), the stem has already hardened though. very weird but I think it'll work out. The transplant is starting to grow again, leaves are pointed up at the lights nicely today. I dissolved a Miracle Grow tab in 2 Quarts (as instructed) of water today, and gave a little to the plant.

When do you think I should see effects from the Miracle Grow? Also, how much water (measurement) should I be giving this plant every watering judging by my pot size in pics?

I'm going to give it Miracle Grow Water every 7 Days. Otherwise if it needs to be watered, it's getting regular water. The package instructs to use every 7 or 14 days, so I'm going with 7.
