It's an addicting hobby, I'll tell ya that! Can't advise you one way or another on the eggshells, might try a forum search for that one. But I'm useing MG All Purpose Plant Food (liquid) for veg, and Jack's Classic Blossom Booster for flowering. The MG has been working well for me thus far for all my grows - about the only MG product I'd recommend. I use that at half a teaspoon per gallon, once a week, one TBSP of Grandma's Unsulphered Molassas (Wal-Mart, by the pancake syrup) per gallon, every other watering, and one drop of Superthrive (also Wal-Mart) per gallon every watering. That's my veg feeding schedule. Honestly I'm still trying to work out a flowering schedule I'm happy with. You can start molassas and Superthrive at 2 weeks old, and nutes at three weeks. Find someplace to write down when you give them what - it helps, especially if you run into problems.

Basically you want something higher in nitrogen for vegging, and higher in phosphorous and potash for flowering.

Nope you don't wanna do that - keep too much moisture on 'em all the time. Water at lights on, thoroughly, until the water just starts to run out the bottom. (Dump any excess). Then do not water again until you stick your finger to the middle knuckle in it, and feel no moisture. Allowing them to dry out is important - less chance of root rot, less problems with fungus gnats, less problems in general. Also - water droplets on your leaves can cause burns, act like a magnifying glass to your lights. How long it takes to dry out depends on your lights, temps, and pot sizes. I grow mine in 3 gal. buckets, and it takes 3-4 days to dry out between waterings. BTW - if you want to grow in 3gal, you can get the 3 gal buckets at Wal-Mart for $1.50, drill drainage holes in the bottom and put a tray under 'em. (Or, if you have a "Everything's A Dollar" store, they have the same ones for a dollar). Cheap alternative to pots.

Yeah if you look around the forum, there are a few reports of that happening, like a twin inside the seed or somthing. As for transplanting - well, as long as it doesn't seem to be rootbound, you're fine - I know they can go awhile in those cups. For myself - I start out in small jiffy cups (about the size of eggcrate cups), germ my seed, it sprouts and by the end of that first week, it goes into it's three gallon home. Less work for me, less chance of damaging tender roots - they seem to take it (transplanting) better at that age, as well.

damn that seems unusal, im probably gonna wait another inch or 2 before transplanting, the small cups tend to dry out the soil quicker, and it prevents me from over watering right now lol, if they were in a big pot im sure i would have flooded them by now, i just water so much cause i just figured it would be better to keep the soil moist, but iguess i was wrong lol

Yeah you can wait another inch or two no problem. Best to remember for watering, our favorite plant likes more arid conditions - not cactus dry, but dry enough.
