So this is my first grow journal not sure how exactly to start this out. Here are the details. Plants put in soil on 8/23 as germinated seedlings. The soil is a mix of some cheap good draining soil from the dollar store and MG potting soil. For nutes I will be using MG and Molasses. The plants seem to be growing ok so far. I think I over-watered them in the beginning because the MG soil holds water more than I thought. I have not watered them since but they just arent drying out. Any helpful hints? Also will the MG nutes and molasses be enough to carry these plants through veg stage? Oh yes and the plants stay outdoors during daylight hours and in a grow box with 2 25W 2000 lumens CFL's and 2 14W CFL's Plus one 18" dual bulb Flourescent. Do I need more light in the box eventhough they are outside during the day? OK AND WITHOUT FURTHER ADUEX ON TO THE PICS~!~ So how do these babies look? Are they looking about right for five days since they hit the soil? Is there any nutes or other addatives that I can use to stimulate extra root growth? Sorry for the horrible picture quality I took them with my phone since the touchscreen on my Sony Digi broke and I had to send it back to be fixed!

more light is better but what u got works. u shouldn't be using mg ferts or soil while they are so young could slow growth. after two weeks i would move to bigger pot.

I have not been using any nutes yet I was just stating what I have waitin g to be used. When should I startt adding nutes? I hope this soil dries out quicker than it is. If it stays this wet it will stunt root growth right?

use nuits in 3rd or 4th week.make sure ur not bring insects in ur inside grow box wen moving too.

How do I make sure that I am not bringing bugs into the grow box? Any particular kind of spray or just any pesticide for plants?

THANKS YALL FOR ALL YOUR HELP SO FAR! Hopefully I will soon have some growth worthy of taking more pictures of until then I guess I will just update when need be! THANX!!

Ok been a while since I updated. Here it is. Plants are looking really great and starting to really pop! I figured out that I had overwatered my babies so last night I transplanted them into newer better soil and bigger pots. I used some Vigoro root stimulator/transplanting solution before putting them into their new pots. When I transplanted the root systems were still a little on the small side but were very white and healthy looking (no root rot) So my question now is If I add some H2O2 solution to them now will that hellp pump the roots up some to make up for the previous over watering? By the way here are some new pics from about 3 days ago. I will have pics from today up in just a few hours! THANX IN ADVANCE FOR ANY HELP YALL CAN GIVE!!

Here are the new pics as I promised they were taken today The babies are 12 days old today. How are they looking? Why do I see extra leaves growing off the lower branches??

Nice start for your first grow, this is my first grow as well and I'm struggling with watering myself, I'm still not sure when to water when in cups as they seem to dry out pretty fast, could you let me know what damage was caused when you over watered them? also please take a look at my images to see if it looks familiar.

My first growing attempt,
