"MOsaka....anything that has the Miracle Grow name on it has no business in an MJ grow...period."

Why? I've used mirical grow in all my plants and they are looking really good. I mean, I'm open to sugestion, but I don't think MG is all that bad for a soil medium.

A few things I've learned along the way about germination, The best process I've found is taking a zip lock bag, get two paper towels and wet them, make sure they aren't driping wet, but very wet, fold the two paper towels together in half, put the seeds on one half of the half, and then fold it over again, put it in a zip lock bag that barely fits it and make sure some air is in there as well, Then just hide it for 2 days. For about 3 days after the first seed cracks, you'll have alot of seedlings, wait till you can actually see the leafy part, then plant them with the leafy part sticking out. and the root just below the soil. DON'T TOUCH THE ROOT! You'll have them looking healthy 8 hours after you plant them this way, and you won't have gone to all the extra work of setting up additional pots for seeds that don't sprout.

Did you buy your lights online? Or at a store? I'm strapped for cash right now so my SoG test bed is takin a hit, I have 4 CFLs 2 3500k and two full spectrum, my plants are growing at a rather optimum rate even though the lights aren't great, I'd like to change them out with better lights so how much did those lights run you?

That root growth is pretty intense. Maybe next round you use the same crazy ferts but spray the inside of your pots with 2 coats of copper paint. (Not paint colored like copper, actual copper flec in the paint) This paint will stunt growth of roots when they hit the edges or botom of your container, this may sound like a bad idea, but it'll encourage secondary offshoots so you'll have a much thicker root base without running out of soil space as fast.

Just some thoughts.
