First grow - AK47

I've been building a box for the past few weeks and I finally got my seeds in. AK-47, feminized. I planted 2 seeds. They sat in a paper towel for two days and busted open so i Think these little girls are eager to grow.

I have them under about 120 watts of cfl for now, I'll add more if needed. Temps don't seem to go above 80 or below 70. I'm keeping a daily log, sometimes hourly if I make changes, (I'm obsessed with getting everything right) of temperatures and humidity.

Plant one is Greenie and plant two is Blackie, I'll take pics later. Any guidance as I go through this will be much appreciated. :)

Keeping a log is important.
Not because your plants will die without it; because you will be able to go back and see what worked and what didn't.
You will want to know what day you did something and you take all the guess work out of trying to remember "was that last friday or last saturday?"
Also, it helps keep you involved in your hobby without you becoming an overly obsessed plant dicker.
Write, read, don't dick with your plants...you are their worst enemy.
Let them grow.

Keep an eye on the temps and humidity, too much of either can be bad. The highest temp I reached last summer was 87f and the plants were fine. These plants grow in climates that reach over 100f and grow in the tropics with humidity so high it will make you wanna punch yourself in the face. The difference between your tent and the outdoors is air.
If you get high temps and high humidity you gotta move that air.
Too little humidity is never a problem from my experience. I grow in Colorado and the normal high humidity in my room is around 30% and have reached a humidity of around 10% on occasion.

Just remember that these are plants and they do their thing with out you.
Make sure you feed em what they need and they will give you what you need.

Easy does it.
Good luck.
