I will post a few pics... nothing really to see, just a couple sprouts about 1 inch tall. This is my first attempt btw. What does it mean when the leaves are pointing up? Stretching for light? Well from the pic you can see how close the lights are, about 3/4 to 1 inch away. Also see the purplish stem? All i have been doing is wetting the top of the soil with distilled water with a very slight bit of superthrive. Just so everyone knows, the soil is Miracle-Gro organic potting soil with with some perlite and a layer of red lava rocks on the bottom ala latewood :thumbsup: Right now i have 2 100watt equivilent bulbs 6500k right on top the plants and a 4 ft shop light above that with 2 6500k bulbs @3050 lumens each. I have another 4ft shop fixture but not using it yet. As you can see this is inside a big steriltie tub lined with emergency blanket :D. I plant to change this in the near future. Any tips would be appreciated. :)

no the "V" shape in the leaves means the leaves are happy with the light... looking good... i hope your not using too much superthrive.... and a very nifty little set-up you got there... best of luck..

I mixed 1/4 teaspoon into a gallon like latewood suggested. If this is not good, i will just use plain water.

i like to be sure that my plants can handle the feedings and im not so sure that feeding a seedling is a good idea... i usually wait untill the 4th or 5th set of leaves to start feeding

damn, i think you are right.. already one of my sprouts have brown edges on the first pod type leaves. Crap i hope it dont die. No more superthrive.

yeah well maybe you caught it in time... i hope so... best of luck with ur little girl!
