first grow

This is my first grow, no experience growing at all so I decide to start a journal hoping people would help me through the process. I am in week three now.

There are two seedlings in a pretty good sized pot right now, eventually going to transplant into seperate pots, obviously.

I am using soil, dont know the PH. I am not exactly sure what is in the soil it is the soil my grandfather uses in his garden so I figured it can't be to bad. I can see that there are wood chips in it, sand, perlite, there are little green balls not sure what they are that maybe nutrients or something, I put gravel on the bottom for drainage.

I was using 1 23w cfl and 13w cfl but just added another 23w cfl this morning. They are on a 17/7 light schedule. I was doing 18/6 but decided to give them an extra hour of dark. Don't know how much it is actually affecting them differently but it is all an experiment so why not. I know I am going to have to get more lights, trying to stay on a budget.

I was using bottled water for a while until we ran out, plan on using again once we get more. Right now I am using water from a reverse osmosis, not sure how good this is. Ph is about 7 I know it needs to be lower. Suggestions?

No Nutrients yet. Unless there is some in the soil.

No fan put up but the room has good circulation.

Not sure exactly what the temperature is but it is fairly cold right now. I try to keep it about 70. Not sure how successful I am on that.

Humidity outside is 45% so it is probably a little lower inside.

The first two pics are of Gizmo, The second two are of Aurora. Yes I named them, lol.
