this right here is a update on my grow today i think I'm gonna do a grow journal!

Looks good. I'd add 6 more plants to that room though if possible.

I'm starting these from seeds aren't seedlings way bigger the clones

Good set up but you have some issues with the babies, iether overwatering as pots are too big at this stage, light too close at this stage or the soil is from your backyard and is useless.

I'm sure you have room for more, especially with that light. It's not really important though. Get your first grow in and see where you can go from there. I grew 9 beautiful plants in an area smaller than that with a 400 watt bulb.

i see thanks for the motivation lets see how this grow turns out I'm doing a journal on it as well

If your ambient temp is 87 that is too hot for seedlings, I would get it down to 76-82. ROOTS is a great soil but pretty 'hot' for seedlings, the issue here as BUDS said is too much soil for such small plants. Let them get pretty dry between waterings, don't soak the medium when you do water. You want the roots to grow out looking for moisture.
Welcome Aboard and +rep for 1st grow.

My ambient temp is stays at 68F-70F humidity is at 50% thanks for the watering tip

anyone seen these symptoms before

It does look like you have had some watering issues...and if you haven't fed them but are seeing spots then you are definitely overwatering...life the pot...if it is not totally light then you have to leave it and not water until it is...

ok...if those are the spots.. then those spots are just some bruising...where you have moved the plants and perhaps the leaves have been pinched or bent...this is more likely to happen when the levels of nitrogen are too high...so if you are feeding them stop for a bit, and if you aren't then water less...

here is another pick of it thanks for the advice

hey man thanks you were right
