First REAL grow, cfl's start to finish, bagseed

[EXP13]

It appears to me as if you're overwatering just a little.

They look very healthy but are showing a few tell-tale signs of being a little swamped. I'd cut back on the watering by about 1 day.

Santa, Your plants look very healthy. If I may give some humble yet unsolicited advice, consider trimming the top of your cup a little. I don't know if its just because of the pictures, but your plants seem a little deep in the cup; not too deep where any damage is being done though.

I get discoloration on some of my leaves because i get water on them every now and then. Its nothing that I would worry about too much, unless you splash your plants. sometimes light burn can be really stressful to the girls.

Thanks for the input guys. It would probally help if I got an actual watering can, instead of my spray bottle minus the sprayer.
I think the overwatering is the inital cause of my flimsy seedlings as the roots havent needed to grow and search for water, im gonna stave em for a bit. Whats the most common way of telling when you need to transplant? I have some 4gal pots and I have some that are somewhere inbetween the cups and the 4gal. Should I step up when its time or go strait to the big pots?
So far they all look similar to me, can you more experienced guys seen any differences, or is it too early?

Gah, friggin weather. Well, in my attemp to somewhat starve my plants I accidently burned the shit outta them. With the weather being in the 40-50's my closet was staying 70-75. All of the sudden we have a 80 degree day and my room was probally at about 90 for sometime, and with the lack of water...gah

Temps are now stable and gave em a good water. We'll see what I can salvage.

Get about 1500ppm of CO2 on a timed release in there with good ventillation, and your plants should be able to withstand at most 95 degrees.

Do they make time release valves? Say I had a 20 ounce c02 bottle for my paintball gun, can I retrofit something? How long would it last?

Ok, so heres some pics of the damage. Should I remove the damaged foliage or just let it fall off? It looks like they should recover, I really hate myself for burning them. It suprised me how fast it actually happened. I checked em before I went to work, then when I came home...burnt...
Oh well, we'll see how fast they recover.
When do you know its time to transplant?

Can nobody find the growlog section anymore? Is our security being compromised?

I found it just fine, though I do admit the link that used to be on the main forums pages was very convenient.
