Help with 2 Week Old Seedlings

Please have a look at these 10 seedlings and offer opinions on how they're coming along... they're two weeks old... the strain is AK-47, 50% sativa 50% indica.

They have been growing under a 400w MH at a distance of about 20"...
I also had side lighting from a cool white fluorescent tube about 2" away to help prevent stretching... from the looks of them stretching has not been a problem... they're still quite short.

They are growing in rapid rooter plugs... the first week I fed them only tap water... they started yellowing slightly so I've added seedling nutrients to the mix and they seem to have responded well.

What do u think?

Seedlings 1 - 5

Seedlings 6 - 10

they look pretty good to me

Do you ph test?

they look great to my right now, just pH your solution well you going to feed and you should be fine those seedlings look strong and healthy to me just don't hit them with full strength nutes right away, but i guess you won't do that anyway

they are looking great so far

If the tips are yellowing a bit, it could be from the chlorine in your tap water. Maybe try and let the watering jug sit out in the open for a day or so; so that crap can evaporate.

I haven't done any ph testing... don't have a test kit yet... but I did leave the water out for a day to get rid of the chlorine.

im on the same page buddy, but i jus finsihed germanation, nd i've poloped em into some pots nd have a flourecent light over them, i plan on growin them outside, but i want them to get strong nd healthy so tehy can adapt to the weather easily, but im wondering how long i shud leave the light on....i was told 12 on 12 off, any advice?

Well hoping they are female... You should keep them in veg until they fill up 1/3 of the grow space if indoors and have at least 4 nodes the longer you vege the bigger they will be as they tripple in size during flowering so how big they get is up to you and the size of the pot or the size of your grow.

Your plants look great, I think the nutes is all they needed.

thanks for the tips bro, but my plan is to get them to a decent size nd put them outside,they've broke the surface of the dirt already and are just starting to unfold the first set of leaves so....my next question would be, shud i either jus put them outside even tho it gets pretty cold at night, or continue my method, nd move them outside at a later date?

o question duz it bother them to snap pics using flash from a digital camera??

No when you first have a seedling put it on 24 hours of light or 18 depending on what you think is best, and after bout 2-3 weeks take them outside, and let them thrive

Those seedlings look excellant!! I wish that i could get mine to look that good! I am having a hell of a time trying to raise some seedlings i can get them to germ fine but i have'nt had any sucess getting them past the first leaves starting to get jealous of all of you guys and your beautiful seedlings. However i am using Rockwool instead of soil for hydroponics purposes, Although i'm starting to ponder the thought of trying to start in soil then transfer to RW not sure? i got another round on the go 4 this time so hopefully at least one ****en grows! What kinda soil did you use? i would probably just get soil from walmart is their anything they sell that i could use? and where can i buy Super Thrive?
