Hello everyone, I'm new to growing so I after loads of time research on how to grow weed, I decided to just go here and ask for advice personally, I found this website the most helpful.
I'll attach a few pictures of my grow set up and my babies now and the questions that I want to ask.

My grow room = Wardrobe
Grow lights = 125watt Dual Spectrum CFL.
Strain = Nepalese Dragon from Ministry of Cannabis
Stage = Veg
Age = Today is 4 weeks from the day I put the seeds in soil
Questions = There are questions on the pictures, My main concern is are they healthy looking overall?

#1 Is this pre-flowering? My plants are 4 weeks old, I keep them at a 18/6 light.

No you are not pre -flower a good sing of pre-flower is the white hairs start to grow and in groups of more than just 2. Nitro def. you could have or it could be over watering. Let the soil dry up some and watch plant reaction. If the yellow fades its the water if not try sprinkling a layer 1/8 inch thick horse manure on top of your soil. The next time you water the nitro will be delivered to your roots greening up everything. Horse crap is a gentile way to help the plants. You should always pH your water to 7. This will allow your plants to consume what they need nute wise. If the tips of the leaves look burnt and not just weak you may have to much nitro. It is fixable by flushing your plants roots with pH 7 water. Your choice of nutes is not advisable. I suggest 50/50 soil mix horse manure / local soil for entire veg. No nutes needed until flower or at least 2 months. That will help eliminate allot of messing with the plants and allow for a more natural healthy grow. Over all for being from seed your plants look great.

horse manure is hot. the last thing in the world they need is more N.

burnt leaf tips are usually a sign of nute burn...If you can get away from the MG, extremely hard to regulate.. Don't water until the top 1in or so is dry... When you water make sure you get at least 1/3 run off.. This helps to keep the salts from building up in your soil..
Great choice for seeds, let me know how the dragon does for ya. I've been running their Big Bud xxl, zensationm and carnival.. Excellent results.. The Zensation is a tall 1 though, hit 8ft indoors with being topped..lol

And if it's fresh manure it will probably kill it off....

You can't use Tomato fert in bloom - too much P in it.

Here's an old pic of my first grow. at this stage I had just transplanted into fresh soil and started feeding slowly so they turned out well.

Let them tell u when they're hungry (not as hungry as mine were tho !!)

I used normal veg and bllom ferts from Hesi and it was very easy.
