is my weed healthy?

Its a bit pale bro, and will only get worse as its need for nutes increase. The backyard soil with weeds growing out of it is the cause of this. Start feeding 1/4 str veg nutes asap and work up to full str. When you repot in about 5-6 weeks have a nicer mix with perlite and some extras in the soil from the shop.

Also how often should I water them, its about 98-102° from 11 -6pm and ive been giving them about 5 FL Oz a day, way to much right?

i grow in miraclegro soil as well. that plant looks just fine! keep up the good work!

you are almost out of the seedling stage. 10-15mL per day will do with as hot as the enviro is.
 
it looks great dont give it any nutes yet wait about 3 weeks and if its in miracle gro you mite not have to feed till flowering depending how long your gonna veg if you feed now you just asking to be burnt
 
Don't water every day in small quantities like that you are making the roots grow slower that way. You should water it with enough water to saturate it, then wait to water it again until the top of the soil starts drying out. That's how to get a good big root system from my experience. Otherwise you are pampering the roots to not stretch out and seek for water, thus smaller root mass. But thats a good looking plant...nice n green in that second picture with the flash off.

PS....if you are gonna replant it to another container, get two containers, one black and one white. Plant the actual plant in the black pot, then surround that pot by the white one...thereby reflecting the sunlight off. That way you are not cooking your roots in that hot texas sun!

i agree with this once you are out of the seedling stage.
 
little seedling looks healthy. water as needed and do let it dry out a bit on top before you water again. but if you're a gardener you prolly already know that, right? does the mg mix you're using already have time release fertilizer in it or no? not all mg products have it. and it makes a difference too. most ppl don't want time release fertilizer in their mix. because you have more control. and a tip...a lot of time release fertilizers like osmocote dump ALL of their load in temperatures above 90F. but in order for the soil temp to get that high the air temp has to be even higher. better to avoid time release all together.
