First grow is a success...

So I stayed pretty basic for my first grow, simple box...lined with mylar, 1 400w electronic ballast.
Plants were seeded in Miracle Grow seedling soil, transplanted after 1 week to Miracle Grow potting soil (3 parts regular to 1 part moisture control, I used the 1 part moisture control because I built my box for max light retention and feared constant drying of soil due to heat)
They were grown for 8 weeks under a 400w MH bulb (never did more than water them, I tried a low dose of nutrient water (1/4 strength for a seedling) and it even seemed to be too much as two levels of leaves went yellow in 3 days. So I leached the soil and kept a water only regiment from their.
Then put into a 36 hour dark photoperiod (advice of Jorge Cervantes' book) and put into a 12/12
The last pic is about 3 - 4 weeks prior to the first 3, the first 3 pics were taken today, 1 week into their 12/12 and I am happy to say TWO of the three showed their first sure signs of being beautiful baby girls!!!!!!!!!!!!
ANY COMMENTS OR SUGGESTIONS ARE WELCOME, POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE...THANKS IN ADVANCE.
