hahaha what the fuck???

the cab looks good, only thing i noticed is that cfl's are more efficient to the plant when they are mounted horizontally. their coils sideways have more surface area, thus giving more direct light. and aluminum foil is really not good. it catches beams of light and can concentrate them into a little heat ray, similar to a magnifying glass. you dont want any of those rays beaming on a leaf or a little seedling.

remove the foil...you arent baking are you?

ok i will remove the foil now!!!!^^

How long should I water
Does the light need improving?

uhmm maybe u shud get a 600 w HPS light. that shiit wud rock ur world. but if ur goin the cheap way i would at least get more flow recent lights on that baby!

Looks great man, an HPS would work way better after the first 2-3 weeks. CFLs are good for seedlings because they are lite lights. Not as stressful as a HPS is. Small plants dont do good with fert, hps lights, and mh lights. If you want faster growth and bigger plants you will need more light. 7 of those cfl's cant grow two 3-5 ft plants. Or they might but just not too healthy for em. Once they get so big they will be starved of light. And as for water, you need to water once every 3-4 days with seedlings. If you let their soil dry out between the first few waters it will make the roots grow downward looking for water. And roots are the first thing you concentrate on. But later on watering depends on size of pot and plant. Big plant and little pot means watering more often, and big pot small plant means not as much water. But you cant put a seedling in a 3 gallon pot. So its ideal to have 1 gallon of soil for every foot of growth, comprende? And another tip, for that crack in the middle a peice of gorrilla tape taped to the edge of one side will fix that. So that way people wont know there is something goin on in there.

And can we get pics of the actual plants??? Or are they sprouted?

completely 100% false. the last grow i had i got rid of all my little pots because of an insect problem in my veg room and had to grow from germination in 4 five gallon pots. now i have 4 northern lights in flower (which hail from the pots i just mentioned) and all 4 are between four and five feet tall. they have been in flower for 5 weeks. it is true that transplanting once the plant is near root bound is better, because a concentrated root system absorbs water more efficiently and once you transplant there is fresh soil/nutrients for the roots to expand into instead of having a 5 gallon pot full of old dried out soil. you did supply dudeman some good information but what i quoted from you is completely inaccurate.

Sorry, i guess he has proved me wrong. But i do not parctise that idea. I like to go from disposable cup(seedlings/clones) to 1 gallon(veg) to three gallon(flower). I am completely satisfied with my results so im not gonna change a thing.

as well as you should be. ideally i practice this as well, however recently i have been limited on my supplies and have had to resort to other means (as stated above). i totally agree with saynotodrugs input except for that fact that you cant grow in a 3 gallon pot. you can but your results will be more beneficial if you practice transplants when needed. every thing else you mentioned is good information and in no way did i mean to undermine your input except for what i disagreed with above.
