Hello all. I'll point out first that this is only my second attempt at growing, first inside. I'm posting on here to get advise and to document my trials and tribulations. OK mostly for advise.

I have three plants started. One, in the black pot, came up out of the soil roughly April 22nd. The other two in the red cups, roughly 7 days later. My "setup" for lack of a better term, is pathetic. I have three CFL's focusing on these three with a total of about 6-7000 lumens directed at them at a constant 24 hour lighting. The lights are roughly 2-3 inches off the plants. They are planted in Miracle Grow Potting Soil. I have been watering them roughly a half cup of water every two days. Where I came up with this schedule is beyond me. I basically go by feel of how dry the soil feels. I gave nutes once and it was very diluted, so not sure how much that effected them. I gave them nutes about 2 weeks ago last. Here are some pictures from about 3 days ago..

Now my problems..

What nutes should I be using at the one month stage, if any? And how often?

One of my plants is experiencing heavy yellowing on the lower leaves to the point of shriveling.

I just checked on them a couple minutes ago and there is some heavy wilting going on with the two that are in the red cups. One looks as though its dying actually, the tallest of the three from the pics.

Am I watering too much or too little?

My lights are all of the 2700k light spectrum. I know I should have the higher 6500k spectrum, but I can't find those available locally at the Home Depot, Lowes, etc. HPS is not an option due to financial concerns. Will what I have be sufficient?

I know there is most likely information I am leaving out, but its a case of not knowing the correct questions to ask, I guess. So I put my vastly inferior knowledge out here for your help. I will do what I can to make suggested adjustments as needed. I just wanted to get this started and get some help before they're too far gone.

I have done some reading, but obviously not enough. I don't have enough time in the day to read all I need to, what with a job, family, etc. That's why I'm here.

I'm a good listener if people have suggestions to help me. Go for it!
