I would love to get another soil buy where i live i dont have many options and there is no store dedicated to growing the best options i have is wallmart and homedepot most stores that do sell soil sell it by the pound in a clear bag with no brand and you have no choices. so miricle grow will have to do for now :( im going to check out the ph testers today took some new pics of how its going.
Someone told once its been growing for a week like plant #3 im supose to put dirt all the way up to the leaves. now with teh current pots i have that is not posible but yes there is still room for some dirt should i fill it all the way to the end of the pot once the leaves pass the pot in heigh?

As far as the dirt/pot thing , tell whoever told you that , that you ran into someone who said " gee guess I been doing it wrong for thirty-five years"........they think they're all fulla helpful advice , they're actually fulla something else.
By the way , learn the feel of how much that pot weighs when wet , later on when you pick the plant on and the pot and medium are light you'll know when to water....note I said *later* yours don't have enough of a root system yet.
Don't overwater 'em , you've gotten good advice on that factor..
Ok so about burying your stem when the plant has been growing for a week... first of all when you plant a seed, transplant a plant, or start a clone in soil, you should always fill the pot up JUST BELOW the rim of the container that you're using. By doing that you allow good air flow to the top soil and stem of your plants, GREATLY reducing the risk of mold/fungus and other stale air/moisture control issues. That being said... you'd never have the opportunity to bury your stem, and even if you could possibly bury the stem, you absolutely do not want to do that. Soon as your plant starts to grow and begins developing a root system and what not, it grows differently above soil than it does below soil. So to bury something that was intended for above soil growth, will cause problems, such as rotting of your main stem. And without a main stem, you will no longer have a plant. Do not bury your stem at all.
All that being said, one of the best things you could possibly take away from my advice is... Let the plant do what it is meant to do, and what it wants to do. Even growing indoors, you're not going to be able to beat out nature, or modify the couple years of evolution cannabis has been through. Its a very resiliant plant, so don't fix it until its broke, fix it when its broken, and only then, and when it likes something, be a good parent and give it to your plant in reasonable moderation, or you'll end up with rotten offspring.
Never did find anywhere that sells PH testers but yet they all sell PH UP and DOWN... im looking into buying a 1,000 WATT HPS system with MP bulbs included and Dimmer in about 38 days just not shure what reflector to buy for the bulb and if i can use Reflective growers paint on my closet walls. Anyway here is the new pics of my pride and joys!! As of today my fan is blowing on the leaves directly at low speed but the fan dont rotate do i need to have a rotating fan or will this do?
