VERY FIRST TIME GROWER need ppls opinion

Hey guys, well to start off this is my very first time growing with some knowledge on how to grow :p. I just wanted to know peoples opinion on how my babies are doing just to be safe. First ill let you guys know what im using, i have 2 cups of each strain of some homegrown bagseed trainwreck. Your probably thinking "omg who would want to grow that shyt" lol well its just my first time and i wanted to see how it would turn out. The cups contain at least 4 seeds of which they are spread out in the soil. As for lighting i am using a fish tank light LOL thats right. i made a crazy set up and it seems to be working fine. i do plan on doing outgrow but as for now just keeping it under a light. The stems are looking really strong and straight so no signs of tilting over. So please let me know how they are doing. OH and the fight light that i am using is about 40 watts LOL yeah but i keep it like right under it. So yeah please let me know :D thanks!. Here are some pics. Oh and another thing the plants are right above the cup and was wondering when would be a good time to transplant? Thanks!.

hi hi, im an all out, outside grower, looking at the pic's they looking good as you know... i would take out that one plant soon, as you have got more than 1 seed in that cup... you would have problems if they all start poping up.. keep using your 40watt light i say its going fine for now.

also if you going to put your plants outside when they getting bigger, dont bring them back in after under lights bcoz me mate did and he had 4 outside and he brang them back in and in 2 days they had infected by loads of bugs loveing the heat i guess... but lost most of his plants..

hope this helps at all?

ill get my pics up soon as i got 3-4weeks untill harvest!! :D:thumbsup:

transplant those, into a FULL cup of soil ... with only a very limited amount of soil, why in the world would you leave the cup half-empty ? :wtf:

^^Agreed ^^

When you do transplant tho...you really should bury a good amount of that exposed stem in soil to cure the stretch that is going on there...

After enough time, the buried stem will grow roots - and you won't have as lanky as a seedling/young plant.

For next time, one seed per cup - it can get pretty messy with multiple plants in the same volume of soil.
:stoned:

ur plants look just like mine lol how far are you into your grow:thumbsup:

My advise to all new growers is get through it and on to your second grow. No one gets it right the first time. There's alot to learn.

your getting a lot of stretch from the low light, find a way to put more light on it, cfls are a good low cost initial setup.

I did the same thing this is my first grow. I didn't even use as good as soil as you though. Your plants look happy just remember transplant them then leave them alone. And no nutes I am told, I messed that one up too. Makes the roots not have to grow as big and then when it is time to bud you won't have enough roots. Or veg.

Edit:
Your soil looks really wet but my computer sucks so maybe I am wrong. You want your plant to be able to breath. If too much water they seem not to grow for me. They just sit there until the soil dries. I am new so wait for others to comment on that.

add some perlite ( about 30% ) to aid in drainage and help the roots breathe

Perhaps this would help with the seedling transplant and stretch issues:
