I have planned and planned and planned my first grow. I did alot of research on here and thought I knew what I was doing. I started 6 AK47 seeds and only 4 germinated...no big deal. THey are growing in expensive soil from the grow shop, 8 24w cfls, 8 ounce beer cups to start, good ventilation, water has been pH adjusted to around 6.
Only one looks the way it should and even it doesn't look as good as others on here. Two are pretty much completely dead and one is close behind. The only problem could be from overwatering in my opinion but I haven't gotten too carried away. How dry should I let the soil get? I usually let dry out to the point where there seems to be no moisture in there at all. But I germinated them in soil and kept the soil saturated for a week until the sprouts popped up...not sure if that is good. I also keep the lights 1cm from the plants. The one that looks decent has really wrinkly leaves and I can't find any picture examples on this site.

Also, how long should I wait to fertilize? THe guy at the grow shop said to fert as soon as they grow their true leaves...which has happened already.

Thanks for reading my post guys and any advice is appreciated...you guys are a wealth of knowledge.
