Thanks for the encouragement bro, your advice helped me alter my perception on the matter. I too am spraying them which probably makes my CFLs burn my leaves which is why they are yellowing. Never thought of it that way. Every 2 days it is. I guess I'm just going to have to be patient. The whole thing is exciting and I guess rushing into things isn't going to make anything better =\

also when your plants are flowering i wouldn't spray them as it may cause bud rot, just dont spray them i never do and it doesn't affect them

yeah, i never spray on my plants. i used to do that in the beginning, but the plants absorb the water from the soil and i think thats enough for them to have happy life

lol

How much water is an adequate amount for each plant until the transplant from cup to pot is needed? I know it depends but a fair measurement would really help me out with my first grow. For every other 2-3 days I should give them 'X' amount of water?

when the water comes out from the holes on the bottom of the pot - it's enough

just use the same size cup the pots are in and fill it a third of the way up i usually hold it up and poor lil by little when there young until its drips from the bottom, have u got any perlite in your pots it helps with drainage and prevents root rot, if not buy some before you re pot them also is there holes in the bottom of your cups?

by the way when you mix perlite into your soil mix make sure theres 30% perlite to 70% soil

happy growing and i hope they pick up soon

yes, two parts soil one part perlite or gravel
