Ok thanks everyone for the responses. A little update and worry. I'm at day 16 of seedling breakthrough and I think thought they were progressing ok. Only about 2 inches (estimating) tall, a few bigger leaves and about a half dozen tiny leaves starting. I switched to an 18/6 lighting cycle which seems to help as far as I can see. I've gotten a 200 watt cfl (2250 lumens, I think)and another set of flourecents to match the two on it now.

Everything has been progressing,but today I see a few issues popping up and I haven't a clue what to do. My only survivor that made it through the soil is begining to wilt it almost seems. I've spotted some tiny brownish-red spots on a couple of the leaves. Also, the perlite that is at the surface is turning green as well. Not sure what that is a sign of. I added some pictures and although they aren't that good of pics, hopefully some of you can maybe help me out. I haven't added anything so far except water. I know I need to check the ph of what I'm putting in, and I'm getting something this weekend for that, but otherwise, just filtered water. Could that be the problem by chance?
Mingles Reviewed by Mingles on . Very New Grow Hey hey everyone, I know there are a hundred other "first growers" posting here, but even after much research and reading, I still feel clueless. Since its my first grow and am short on cash, I started with bag seeds, from some of the better stuff I've gotten recently. So far the seeds have been planted (one seed per pot, mind you) in 3 10 inch pots and one 6 inch pot for a total of four plants so far. I have 3 other seeds in the paper towels, just waiting for them to pop through. I Rating: 5
