Hello and greetings, I'm new here and to growing, i've never even grown a beard let alone something as splendid as white window.
I'd be very grateful indeed if anybody out there could take a peek at my picture and tell me if my babies are doing ok, i'm a little concerned about a couple of them, ones got 2 little yellow spots on the main leaves and the other one's main leaves are showing signs of wilting.
They are 2 weeks old and i've got them under T5 compacts(a pair of 48inch 55w bulbs) 24 hours in peat pellets inside a heated dome thing, the temps 75 and humidity 35. i've been givig them half dose nutes since the start, but i've changed it to just water the past few days, just in case i overdosed them on nutes. I'm planning to repot them soon in gallon pots, then flower them with 400w hps.
I'd welcome any advice, tips or thoughts that could help me along my new geen road.........Thank you kindly.

I'd repot very soon, like, an hour ago...:D...No nutes at all first 1-2 weeks. Don't get too close with the 400 watt; the T-5's are great first 3 weeks. Get a fan on them after transplant.

Thanks for the quick reply Dutch, i'll be repotting them today.
Should i have the T5's as close as possible? and about the nutes, shall i hold off for a while longer? Also the nutes i have are by Advanced Nutrients, Grow, Micro and Bloom. The guys in the store i bought it from said use all three together, but my brother reckons i should only be using one at a time. Sorry to be a pest with all the questions but its difficult deciding which advice to follow. Thank you for your time.

use micro nutes and grow nutes , bloom is for bloom stage if bloom also , use little , and try pro-silicate from grotek it helps with plant adversity and strengthens , but it's an alkinizer so make root area more acidic after silica , and never put small plants in high power lights unless they are like a foot tall , they might burn , but yea wilting could be to much water put a radio shack computer fan toilet paper roll , some electric tape , and a radio shack plug adaptor rated similar to the fan , and aim it right for the roots area of your plant set-up not to close , close enough for coverage , that way your roots can airate and your plant will be more consistant

There looking pretty good so far, but like Dutch said, get them in soil asap. Once you get them in soil try not to drown them to much when their seedling. If you want to try a good natural fert try fish emulsion. It smells like s**t, but it works great without the salt buildups you get with chemical ferts. Make sure you have good fan on them. Not only does the fan circulate the air it also helps the stems and branches get stronger.
Good luck with you`re grow Chili

I repotted them yesterday, they definately needed it, when i took the peat pellets out of the tray you could see all the roots had nowhere to go, they were all squashing against the sides of the tray inserts. Hopefully my babies will now be happier in their new homes. Gonna go to radio shack tomorrow for a little fan and also i'll talk to them a bit more, reassure them, tell them i care!!! i'll take some more pictures later and post them. Peace.
