yeah...no added nutes the first 3 weeks...and make sure you got good drainage holes in the containers. I start out in 4 inch pots and transplant into 6/8 inch pots after about 3 weeks. I only use t-12 floro tube lights the first 3 weeks..(6500k)

Good Luck...:thumbsup:...ps...16 or 20 oz plastic beer cups work great; for starting seeds
