I had bad luck with Nirvanas Snow White.
Careful you dont over nute they are a little shy.

thanx cruzer101 i will bear that in mind....

Couple things,

Lighting, 18/6 is best. you can go 24/7 while young but I think I have had better results with 18/6.

Feeding starting from seed, no nutes untill second set of leaf or two weeks.
Start 1/4 strength first week, then up to 1/2 strength and see how they do.

You want your medium to dry slightly between waterings. While young they dont use much water. I water about a teaspoon or 5 mil every other day the first week. Then every day the second week. By the third week I put them on a timer and water once a day for 30 min. by the end of the month I drip 30 min twice a day.

Check on them twice a day the first couple weeks. after that once a day.
works for me.

Good luck.
