2 weeks old, how do they look to you?
Well I have some new pics. They aren't looking as good now as they were 2 days ago, some drooping and a little more prevalent nute burn in some yellows. They were very dry and I didn't mist them yesterday. I watered them and upgraded their home.
They are now under 4 26w CFLs and I have a big box fan blowing on them now. Enough to make the leaves flutter so I will get nice strong stems.
Anyway, onto the pics!

btw, 19 days since I planted the seeds.

Ok, last night I transplanted my babies into much larger pots. I think they are 3 gal. I was going to go with 1 gal, then move up to 3 gal later, but I got some free pots and said fuck it. Anyway, I went with a mix of roughly 25% each miracle grow, plain soil, vermiculite, and perlite. I wanted to cut back the MG since I have some nute burn, and next grow I will not use an MG!
As you can see there was some root constriction, I should have transplanted earlier, but I will live and learn.
Any thoughts on trimming the nute burned leaves? I mean a few of them are kind bad on the tips and I don't see them coming back. Should I just trim the burned part, or take the whole leave?

u got humidity man in the first weeks excesive humidity is something rather more essential , as the plant continues to grow need lower lvls so to get fast growing new and thiner leaves as it will continue to grow it will get more and more stressed , u gotta AERATE ! ull see the differense in just the first nobe that will apear slimer than the excisting ones
If u just cant do aerate the room at least u can put the pots as higher as u can , the humidity in a room with a source of heat(light) tends to accumulate at the bottom if thats dificult too just grab some packages of any kind of rice and apply it to the room as natuaral dehumidifier ( try it 1st then judge it plz ;) )
Algae is an indicator and check again the humidity lvls on the plants location ( unless u got a fan blowing around )

right now im on 4x42W CFLS. I read that about humidity, they need less as they grow. I have a friend with a dehumidifier I been trying to get off him, but he keeps forgetting. My humidity right now usually stays at 65-75%. I should shoot for about 60% correct?
I know rice does work for sure. It is a trick to save cell phones that fall in water (or any small electronic device). You bury them in rice for a few days, and sometimes it saves them!

well i may sound like the sphinx right now without giving a precise answer but the needed humidity is judged by the plant its self , a general rule to MY knowledge is less than 60% to any phase of the plant except sprouting/seeding , this way u may have np about molds , oh btw , once u have algae why not to have mold ...
go to the super market and get 5 packages of rice and place em in 5 bowls in the room ( gfrom the pics i can see its not a big room or some kind of underground structure , in second case u need dehumidifier)

when i was using miricale grow i was only using it in the water I would suggest not putting any in the soil!!!... i found some nice veg grow stuff at wal-mart for 3 bucks .... use something like 5-6-3 it seems to work best then miracle grow which is 5-15-5 i believe , so try to maybe water wit just rain water the next to times , or distilled ... it will help ur vegalil ....Im not sayin miracle grow doesnt help * BUT USE IT IN SMALL QUANTITY*, since its not the best!!.
S-Style-S,
