You'll be lucky mate... If you're not in with the in crowd you are lucky to get a reply... I'm growing some fast bud from sweet seeds. What advice do you need?

what kinda soil, lights and nutes will you be using.?. usually you dont want to give em any nutes untill after the first couple weeks, also be sure not to over water either, also make sure the water is ph'ed correctly and your soil looks a little wet, did you just water.?., also i watered mine every 5-6 days and let em dry out a little between waterings and you may get better results with a 18/6 light schedule. i am currently growing 3 autoflowers and didnt nute until they showed sex on day 18-21. i have mine under a 400watt hps on 18/6 and am about a week from harvest

tablets are not really good to use... you want a liquid fertilizer that you mix in with the water every other watering... i use fox farms liquid trio(grow big, big bloom and tiger bloom) as well as thier ocean forest soil

I'm using Canna Coco A & B nutes but these are specifically for canna mediums.

I've not used any other nutrient before so couldn't tell you which might be best. They look okay for 11 days old. What kind of light are you using?

What crowd? The 'in crowd' ;)

hey spac3

right now im using fowfarm nutes a mix of their Big Bloom, Grow Big, And Tiger Bloom
i loved the results.. you can check out my signature for pics

in your pics the tips that have turned brown is a sign of too much nutes this early
try cutting back on the nutes, maybe half of what your doing now
if the signs stop then you can slowly increase every watering if you wanted to

i didn't feed mine until week one or so and i started with half strength
but im no pro and neither am i telling you what to do
just trying help out =)

Not sure what your yield will be like with 65w lights. I'm using a 600w... I think the speed devil is about 65 days from seed so you've got a good 50 days to go. My Fast Bud are on day 39... You can view them on this link... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBltCcaJBmM

Mine started flowering after 24 days I think...

Hi as far as i can see your plants are not getting enough light and your pots are to small..
best if you use all the lights you have now, and transplant them into bigger pots ASAP, after which you can start feeding half strengh nutes...

I too am growing a sweet seeds speed devil 2....broke soil 12-7....now 26 days old. It's 12" tall with nodes far apart and gangly but appears healthy. It was under 24/0 T5 for 3 weeks and put under a 400w hps where it has jumped tremendously. It's in nuteless soil (Humboldt Org)....fed bio-bizz fish-mix and bio-heaven after 2 weeks.....started mine in a party cup then trans to a 4" pot when moved to hps.
Altho I've grown autos for 3 years, I've never grown this strain, I have no idea if it's normal to stretch like this did but the fast bud and green poison (all sweet seeds) are 6" shorter on the same diet.
By comparison, your SD2 is way behind in growth....probably a lighting issue.
