gotta say its been interesting to watch how your little grow space has evolved ^^.

As for ferting, dont even THINK about ferting your babies yet. Those seedlings will be fine just drawing nutes from the endosperm left overs and the soil until they have 5 leaf nodes.

Also id suggest some LSTing when they get bigger, ive just started flowering my first grow and i have to say that im REALLY impressed with the lsting. Granted my girl has only been on the 12/12 light cycle for 5 or 6 days but ive got around 12 branches trying to be the top cola, im really lookin forward to seeing what kinda bud formation i get.

your girls seem to be doing well, im pullin for you man ^^.

Yay! yeah me too, its been funny how things have changed.... just a newbie question but LSTing?

[systrex]

Low stress training..

Basically when the plant is old enough/big enough you tie it down to lean towards a side which promotes horizontal growth instead of vertical... which allows light to shine more so on the stem of the plant which in turn produces more nodes also it helps fill out your grow space.

yea LSTing really makes the difference and you dont loose anything just gain.. with practically doing nothing
I think you may have an overwatering problem thats why your plants look so droopy. also you should check the soil ph

can over nutting cause the droppy leaves too?

How well did you clean those OJ cartons before you planted those girls??

Those things look tons better since you buried them! wait 4-5 weeks before feeding them anything! The grow looks good so far. Many people harp on the downfalls of CFL lighting. There are negatives for sure, lower yields, and light intensity is weak at best. That does not mean you can't have a great grow using only CFL's. Check out my grow in my Sig. All CFL except for 1- 175W Mh street light. My pics, I feel, speak for themselves.

hmm well thats good news. I cleaned out the both with water only. i wouldn't want to put anything into the dirt that wasn't needed.
