there the daylight ones im pretty sure .... could that be the reason?

No, that's not.. you don't need good light until you have leaves. Question; did you germ them or just put them in the dirt?

Man I really want some White Rhino seeds!!!! I think thats what I am going to try growing next. Anyway to answer some of your questions -

Should i get more lights? You are defiantly going to need more lights if you plant to veg and flower 2 plants with CFL's. 6500k for veg and 2700k for flower. Try and get some with a high wattage and highest lumens possible. I would say at least 3-4 per plant.

how often should i run my fan? run your fan 24-7 to help move around air and cool your grow box.

when should i start giving it nut.? In my opinion wait to give nutes you have a couple of fan leave sets growing.

How much are you watering them? once a day? every other day? how much water?

yea i was about to say the same thing, it only takes 1- 1 1/2 day to break top of soil if they are already cracked..

yes i germ them before i planted them.. any other reason why i haven't seen any leaves yet?

started offf with no water at all.. then on the 3rd day i watered 5 bottle caps of water then waited until soil got dry and did it again.

well, I'm a hydro guy.. but to my knowledge if you put your seeds root tip DOWN seven days ago you should be seeing something. What kind of soil are you using? How wet have you been keeping the soil? Temps? << Those would be the first three things I would look at.

ok soo the seeds when they germ. the root that comes out of the seed that has to get planted downwards into the soil, or up?
