Well this is my first time growin weed. I had gotten 10 really nice seeds that had came from a danky ass bag .I had germinated all of them in a wet napkin and they all cracked a rooted so i put each of them in a separate 2inx2in containers under 2 26wat cfls after 1 day i checked on them and all except 2 had tore their root somehow. I planted them in miracle grow potting soil which has an assload of bark in it.So I planted them in seperate 6inch wide by 6inch deep containers. on day 2, one started to pop up. Then day 3 the one that had sprouted had grown much more but the other had still not sprouted yet.Then on day 4 the seedling had grown even more but the other still nothing so i lightly brushed off the soil and found a large root torn from the shell :( so then i removed the pot and now have my only one under 2 26 watt cfls, with a fan and a Co2 line in a 3 foot tall 2 feet wide cabnet. ill keep ya posted

You don't need the Co2 just yet, it's only good when flowering. Foil is not great, it tends to create hot spot. Try to get some mylar, some wraping paper also work and the really cheap people ;) use the inside of chips bag.

Do you have any fans for ventilations or to gently move your plants to make the stems stronger?

Good advice Gorlax.

You might also move the lights so that the sides of the light are facing the plant. Most of the light is emitted from the sides, whereas at the moment the tips of the bulbs are facing down and the sides of the bulbs are facing each other. You can get a Y adapter that will hold them at a better angle.
