First grow with cfls and bag seed
First of all... Congrats and Good luck on your new adventure :thumbsup:
The MG is considered pretty hot for starting seedlings. How big are your pots? Hopefully nice and small to start out. I'm not sure if plants can be too young to have their soil flushed... but that might help cool off the MG. You'd have to be really gentle though. Also, since it "feeds up to 3 months," and you are eventually getting Fox Farm nutrients... don't bother with that "plant food." Most of them are not appropriate for Cannabis anyway. You will only want to start using the FF when the nutrients have been used up in the pre-fertilized soil. Look up info and pics of what plants look like when they need a specific N-P-K. That way you won't burn your plants when you start the good stuff. (I used the Fox Farm trio and it is super user friendly :hippy

I'm not sure about a minimum age for LST, but 4-5 nodes is a good one to shoot for. It's no longer a seedling, but a young plant in the vegetative state and can handle some manipulation. There are plenty of in-depth threads... actually:

That has a lot of good info and a few pics. It's really a simple way to improve your potential harvest. Perfect for the beginner who wants added budsites, but doesn't want to risk making a bad cut and stressing the plant... or worse
You can really be pretty creative with the training. Especially with CFL's because you want to expose every spot to usable lumens. It's really IDEAL for it. Even if you only tie down the main cola... it helps. But be gentle!
P.S. You have probably read that CFL's should be placed only 2-3 inches above the plants... which is very true. They don't spit lumens out very far. BUT at this point, since they are so young, you don't have to have them very close at all. It doesn't need such intense light and it will also just dry up the soil faster. Just in case you got them sitting right on top of the cups.
And find your camera.... :stoned:
