They're called cotyledons and yes, they will dry up, it's normal.
They are the "jaws of life" for a seedling.
They plump up with water and help to discard the seed casing.
When their job is done, they are absorbed for their resources.
Just like the fan leaves will be at harvest time.
Plants are amazingly resourceful and conservative critters.:cool:

It could well be lime residue from hard water.
If so, let it be.
It won't hurt anything and the new leaves will be fine.
A close-up picture would be a good thing though.
'Cause, if it's Powdery Mildew, it WILL spread.:(
<Edit> Just took a close look. It's lime scale.:cool:

Be very gentle with the first few feedings.
Babies are quite easy to choke at this point.

As long as the new growth looks healthy then there shouldn't be anything to worry about, looking good from what I can see :thumbsup:
Also make sure those CFL's are 1-3 inches from the plants maximum. They look a little stretched, you could fill in a couple inches of your container with soil.

two of them are growing good little Leaves ones not at all is that bad....Also should i snip the bottom leaves in half to help other growth....Advice appreciated?
-
First Grow using Cfls..Watch And Help
I would try to avoid snipping any leaves, I'm not pro so if you have been successfull with this before then go for it. I was advised not to cut anything off of the plant that isn't dead already because it will help the plant photosynthesis? Maybe one of the more experienced guys can chime in and help you out but i wouldn't cut.

Don't worry acd, grow logs get pretty quiet in the early stages.
Your plants are looking great :thumbsup:
Don't worry about a yellowing leaf, usually means it's not getting light and the plant is using up it's stored energy. Don't trim, once it gets becomes totally yellow you can give it a slight tug and it should come off easily. If it wants to stay attached, leave it alone :jointsmile:

Thank you very much...I was a little worried about that....i was thinking maybe under nutrient...just added one of the germinated seeds into soil....will post pics soon

Dude your plants look great:thumbsup: just keep up what your doing. Leaves get yellow sometime and burnt, because the plant will grow into the lights from time to time, because you need to keep the cfl's close. Iv been using
26w cfl's and there great. Then when you flower 23w warm lights with your others will give both spectrum's needed to get a good grow. Even if you used a ton of 26wters you will have a good grow, the 27k warm spectrum is just a bit better iv heard, and i just added 4 of the 23w warm and they have been budding for a while now. In my opinion, just try to keep em on the dry side and water when needed, when pots are lite.
:weedpoke: Keep er green man :rasta:

A 250hps can not be screwed into any socket. You will need a ballast that will fit a 25w. Most people buy the light with the ballast together. You can find them on ebay, but there not cheap, maybe 200-350bucks. Im not sure, iv never bought one, but have seen them on ebay. Also, there are sites you can get them on line.
If you do this, your going to need a lot of ventilation, so plan on getting them, because w/ a 250hps your going to have a ton of heat to get rid of. Read some grow logs w/ hps and you will understand.
Good uck my man:rasta:

Now I think would be the best time to start LST'ing. http://boards.cannabis.com/indoor-gr...ining-lst.html
Here is a nice post about LST'ing and when to do it. From the looks of your plants, now would be the best time because you only have about 3-4 internodes from what I can see on day 20. If you don't want to LST like the diagrams shown, you can always tie them back which is a form a LST, just a lil different.
Your plants look real good, I like the hps idea but only for flowering. hps on the top and cfl's on the bottom would be beautiful. Keep doin what your doin, find a nice water cycle that the plants like, start minimal on nutes to see how the plants react because you'll find that later on, one may not like full strength nutes, and one might. That how it was for me. One ate nutes like you wouldn't believe, and one was very sensitive. Best of luck, if you don't mind i'm gonna pull up a chair. My first grow is just about finished and i'd like to see how other people are doing to get ideas for my next grow to make it even better!!!:thumbsup:
edit: here's a pic of what I did of LST and then tying back one of my plants a few weeks into veg. hope this helps!!

got alot of good feedback today just got some nuts today to...i was looking for 20-10-10 but all i found was 10-15-10 what do u think think it will work????? Well i did the LST method tell me wht u think....

First Grow using Cfls..Watch And Help
Nice, lst looks good, now just continue to follow the diagram and when there are a few more internodes then start to wrap it around the pot.
Your 10-15-10 is good for flowering, high in phosphorous. You need fert high in nitrogen for veg. Go to home depot and they have a lot of miracle grow fertz that you can get that are high in nitrogen. Fox farm products are good as well. I use all three and they seemed to have worked for me. If no stores have it around you, a lot of places online have it.
