Second grow ever
As the title says this is my second grow, my first grow was on a window sill with like 4 to 5 hours of direct light per day and no fertilizer. This time around im gonna use lights and fertilizer.
Lights 85 wats clf's
Low grade soil bought from a supermaket (no fertilizers added to the soil)
The pots are large enough so that i dont need to transplant them.
Now some pictures, i'll just introduce my hopeful ladies (their bag seed, but the same strain as my first grow) the biggest one on the left in named maria and on the right is joana:
6 and 4 days

" Trust me, I'm a doctor "
I fed them today using the recommended ammount, but divided it among the 2 plants to be on the safe side, I dont need a nut burn right now. Tomorrow i'll post more pics to see if theres any change.
a) no perlite
b) too soon to feed
c) named plants.........good as dead. you will dote upon them, and kill them with love. i have a shiny new dollar that says so

I want to sail away to a distant shore..........an' live like an ape man.
I named them because it makes it easier from me and you to keep track of whos who, that way its easier to notice any difference. And I am using perlite, but I didn't mix it with the soil, I made a layer on the bottom with it to help drainage. I made a few holes with a pencil, being very careful to not damage any roots, so more oxygen gets to them.

12 days old:

The leaves were a little on the yellow side for the 10 day plant, but they got greener after I fed her with fertilizer. The light is much closer to the plants and maybe tomorrow will buy another lamp to keep them growing well.
But of them are growing there first pair of 5 bladed leafs. One of the first true leaves on the 12 day plant grew with a 2 bladed leaf instead of just 1 blade which I though it was awkward but didn't pay much attention to it.
Any thoughts or advices will be very much appreciated.

Today I figured out why my plants were starting to stretch, I had the wrong light spectrum (it was 2400k), so I went out and bought 2 clf's with 30w - 150w and 6400k. They immediately responded to the light upgrade and their leaves grew very quickly, I also bought a timer to keep the light cycle precise. They're sleeping now, but tomorrow I'll update you with some pictures.
As promised, here they are:
Plant 1 (19 days old):

Plant 2 (17 days old):

Plant 2 (19 days old):

Plant 2 is growing very slowly, any suggestions?
Plant 1 (27 days old):

Side shots are developing, and it has large healthy leafs. Also the stem is thick and can support easily its weight.
Plant 2 on the other hand stayed pretty much the same as the last update, so I wont be posting pictures of her. I moved the lights closer to her, so im hoping to see some improvement within the next days.
Does anyone have an idea on which strain this could be?
