that looks like a pretty small cup you have...maybe think about getting something bigger soon. the yellow spots could be from fert burn...but Im not sure. and soon you will need to get some more lights. and, how far is the plant from your CFL's? Id try to keep it 1-2 inches from the plant, just make sure they dont touch it! good luck :D

yeah, hes obviously going to have to transplant it SOON.

and yeah, change the light to 18/6

make little holes in the bottom so they dont drown and no nutrients yet! You have to wait till they are a decent size (i think 8 inches) to give the nutrients. Also dont use crappy soil or soil thats over loaded with stuff.

(correct me if im wrong)

ide say the yellow spot r nutrient burns because seeedling do not need any extr nutes until at least about 40% in vegative stage. thats my view on d matta selecta bomba clatta high as a kite.....ah! :confused:

SuperThrive dangerous? I use it every watering, from sprout through flowering. It's just vitamins and hormones for strong roots. I'd never water a plant without it after seeing the difference in my current grow.
