First noob grow
Fair play to you, from a very modest (admittedly inexperienced) start those plants aren't looking too bad.
Only thing I'd say is your soil mix looks a little 'peaty' and rather dense, what are you using?
For next time you need to remember that typically cannabis plants need a fairly light and airy soil mix to allow oxygen around the root system, otherwise you run the risk of killing the plant if you over water.
A mix of J Arthur Bower's John Innes Number 3 Compost and perlite is an often quoted good starter soil.
As for the yellow spots, I think you need to do a ph test and post the results, I can guarantee you'll get some sound advice on these boards.
Have you read 'Stinky's' - 'simple-noob-instructions-growin-da-dankness' in the 'Basic Growing' section? Sheer genius.
Anyhow, good work and good luck
Flame :thumbsup:

Thanks very much flameon. It really means a lot to me to hear I'm doing a good job.
As for the soil, its an all organic mix made by 'Expert Gardiner'. I just figured, "all organic, cool". Ha, I know its probably not what I should judge soil by but I thought it was the closest to natural clean soil I could get too. But I do think maybe overwatering may have been a problem. I usually watered them one to two times a day. Of course it wasn't much, but today I've gone a whole day without watering and hope tomorrow brings some good results.
And unfortunately for the PH test, Im completely out of money. So this means no PH tester, no bigger lights, and pretty much everything else I need. So sad. But come this weekend I'm going to pick up some necessities...any idea what they should be?

Yay, update time =)
Ok, well I played photographer tonight and tried to get the best and the most pictures I could of my plants. The white blob problem seems to have gone away on plant #1, but on plant #3 it seems to have gotten worse. Today I didn't water them, so maybe that had some type of effect. As for the size, well I have pretty big hands, but I'm sure you can get somewhat of the jist. Also, as of right now Im preparing on expanding the box and transplanting plant #1 to a bigger pot. Not to mention praying to the all mighty herb gods that it is female. If not, I don't know what I'm going to do, because the other two seemed to have halted growth.
As for the sex, I figured it was too early to tell yet. But I still snagged a few pictures of plant #1 anyways seeing as how its the most developed. And man, the smell of these plants is nice. Its like fresh green weed, and only being able to smell musty bag weed till now. I love it. Sadly though, I had to put an air freshener in the room so to keep it more secretive.
As for the setup, I plan on getting more lights this weekend and narrowing it down to only one plant when I get the sexes all figured out. Oh, and is there anything I should be doing to make the plant show sex? Or will it eventually just grow its parts in the vegetative state?
The first two pictures are of my box, and the last three of are plant #1

Ok, so first off. Sorry to everyone on the delayed reaction. Just been a little busy lately. Anyways, on to the plants. Since my last drop in, I've made the box bigger, transplanted plant #1, and got rid of one of my little sprouts. During the transplant of Plant #1, I accidently damaged about half of the roots, which I know isn't good, but since then the plant's been doing well. Flourishing I'd guess you could say =)
I've been planning on keeping only one plant, seeing as I only have room for one.
As always, any comments or feedback is unbelievably appreciated
PS: Thanks a lot bigweed, your post helped me tremendously. Please keep the advice coming. :rastasmoke:
EDIT: Whoops, I forgot to mention that plant #1 was damaged pretty bad too when something fell on it. The stems still good, just a few tears and rips in a couple leaves. Seems to be recovering though.
