First time grow here, any comments on the looks of my plants, first one is 2 weeks, second pic is 1 week. Transplanted the first one 2 days ago and stupidly didn't water the soil enough so i noticed it dried out a little. Hopefully it will bounce back. Not using nutrients yet, but i have purchased some Plant Prod All Purpose 20-20-20. I appreciate comments, I am completely new to this and am expecting some trial and error.
Newbie here, need info on my setup and plants

A little small for transplant. Watering a small plant in a big container can be tricky.
You need drainage. Punch some holes in the bottoms.
Your soil could use perlite. Dn't know on the nutes. I rec using a popular one for mj. I like my dyna-gro.
You will need a lot more light down the line.

Thanks for the quick reply, I transplanted early because both seeds started in the container on the right.. didnt want to have problems down the road. There are holes in the bottom of the bigger pot.. How much water do you suggest? and I seen online people that have successful grows with only 3 CFL lights. FYI the CFLs are 2x100W equivalent and a 150W.
Thanks for the tips, Ill look into those nutes.

If you want to yield anything you will def. need more light mate. right away i would add 3 more...
in about another 2 weeks or so they will seek more light or be stunted IMO if light is not sufficient
add some perlite, right now i would say make sure at least 1.5-2 diameter around the plant should be moist at all times

Alright defiantly grabbing some perlite tomorrow for sure, I plan on using LST for these plants so they yield more, I am just growing for personal use, idealy id like to get atleast 14g's a plant... or is that crazy talk? Also is that first plant i posted still able to come back? even though some leafs are dried up?

Its not crazy talk if you up your lighting, what kind of space are we talking about mate?
LST is always a great option
With that first one just be easy because its already been stressed, keep the soil around it moist, make sure the temps are ideal... do you have a thermometer to know how hot/cold it is?
LOW STRESS is not just the technique mate lol ...its a way of life with plants and humans... always treat them with LOW STRESS

14 grams a plant is very doable...but as FJG says, you need more light....and you should use mostly 6500K during veg
Can you tag team with sunlight...allot of free horsepower in sunshine
yup...they both look not that bad....don't over water and no nutes for a few more weeks
good luck...welcome to RIU

well I am starting them in that bin that you see, i suppose to could always just put them on the basement floor for more space, but i thought i should keep them contained in some sort of box right? And for indoor sun king.. Would putting them outside on my back deck during the sunniest part of the day make them more healthy? and Stretch? i wanted to keep them bushy and small in height

I would def. get some more lighting. I believe I notice one of your plants in a clear container. just keep in mind that your trying to mimic mother nature as best as you can. and whether you realize it or not your letting light into the container through the bottom. So I would purchase some 1 gallon Pots for you to transplant them into when they are ready.
Thanks man, lots of holes in the bottom of both containers. First plant still really dry... hopeing it will keep going.You need drainage. Punch some holes in the bottoms.
New update here, first 2 pictures are from August 3rd then the last three from August 6th, first plant looks really healthy now, 2nd is coming in very slow, havn't done any Topping yet.. Should i start it on the bigger plant? seems to be growing bushy already. 2nd plant i posted looks really lame hope something happens soon.
