Here's some updated pics, these are day 11 in soil

I've still got a little yellow on the leaves, one still looks burnt a little, but it doesn't look like it's getting worse. Overall they look pretty healthy even though there's a little color issue. I'm just letting it ride out here, still haven't added any nutes.

Jomal, I am using damn near the exact same set up and mine are doing great. I started with those exact same bulbs, NVISION, and soon switched to the Sylvania craft light minis. They are 23 watts, and produce 1600 lumens each. Without using hoods, you can probably get 4 of these slightly smaller bulbs in each socket, using 3 splitters each. That would give you 6400 lumens per socket, which I think is pretty good. Multiply by your 4 outlets and that gives you some pretty decent lighting, IMHO.

Good job and keep the journal going, I'm enjoying it!

I hear ya on the hard times but one thing I read somewhere that is very encouraging to me is that it is a WEED and will probably grow IN SPITE of your efforts.

Don't worry they will pull through. I had plenty of yellow spots, burns, purple stems, etc. but time fixed them all.

your plants are alittle ahead of the new ones i just sprouted. there close to the ones i stunted...but theyre growing so slow i think the ones that are 1/10 of there age are gonna outgrow them...ill post some pics as soon as i find the camera i lost... do you know why ends of leaves turn brown ? one of mine has brown tips on most of the leaves and one has one leaf thats like all black then a whiteish leave.

See Jomal, already looking better , I had worse than that at that age once, I have pictures of them in my journal,.. bushy was actually one of those and she's turning out ptretty damn good, Oh and I wouldn't feed them any nutes for awhile yet, I'd say wait at least three four weeks.

Keep up the good work!

New pics, they're 2 weeks in the soil today

I'm still getting that yellow crap on my leaves. I've moved the light farther away in case it was heat, not sure what's going on. I'm still getting new growth, so I know it's not dying, but the yellowing isn't getting any better.

Thoughts on what i should do about that? Should I just ride it out?

Not positive about the yellowing but my plants are around the same age and I have the lights about 4-6 inches away seems to be working good.

Those are already looking reallly bushy for how little they are haha! Def get ready to transplant, and make sure to be pretty careful when you do so you don't hurt the babies... anyways good luck I can't wait to watch!

Yeah they've really grown out and haven't been 'stretching' too much, which is good I guess. I'm still noticing daily growth, I just wish I could pin point the yellow leaves problem. Maybe transplanting them with some new soil and such will help

Thanks for the support!!!

I let the soil get dry on top, then wait another day or so before I water

When I use my moisture tester it goes all the way to the driest setting, then I water so unless that's still too often I don't think it's that

I just tore back some of the paper on my cups and see roots everywhere, so I think I'm going to do my transplant tonight

I have all my supplies already, and I actually got my mylar last night also. So I'll be finishing my room and transplanting my little guys!!
