first grow CFL,

sup guys ive been reading the forums for about 2 months now. you guys n girls know your stuff. thank you for sharing.

on 12/03 i planted 30 seeds in 30 cups, no germination. on 12/10 about 10 sprouted, i had to kill a few due to dieses and birth defects. i planted a few more seeds and i now have 12 plants. i have 6 cfl 23 wat on a custom made light rack.
i am going to install 9 more CFL's once i transplant. i have my plants on 24 hour lighting. the soil is 1 bag miracle grow, 1 bag peat moss, 1 bag perlite.


Should i start these babies on some nutes? there showing signs of nute def, example: twisting leafs, red/purple stems and red/purple underleafs. along with some yellow leaf tips. im going to pick up a pH meter today.
