Seperate the 2 plants in one cup asap or they will get tangled up (if they arnt already).
 
working on it, also never mentioned my lights, so far two 26 watt daylight and 2 26 watt soft white cfls, so far, everything going great
 
ok so its day four of the grow everything looking great temp got a lil high last night but im fixing the problem, got to 100 for about an hour cuz i had stuff on top of my box but other than that plants are lookin great just bout to wake n bake with them
 
Day 5 pics up of the plants now, so far so good, alls lookin pretty well in my eyes, but everyones opinions are welcome, also ordered 5 papaya and 5 super skunk seeds from nirvana today

slip thos cups in another cup to make xtra sure no light gets thru to tha roots jus cut tha bottom out so no water stays in between and creates mold
 
ya the cups dont let any light get through already checke that and also i have holes cut out on the bottom to let all excess water out so i thought ahead man thanks for lookin out tho
 
Plants are doing well, added mroe soil with perlite to the cups, if they keep growing at a steady rate like this then i will be transferring to 32 oz cups in a few week to ensure they get enough room for root growth and will let them go from there, added more lights today and still somehow managin to keep a good temp let me know what all you guys think

sadly it got up to a hundred degrees in there, but i was able to get it right back down, it only get that hot when i keep my closet door shut, so what i figure is no cool flowing air gets to the closet cuasing the fans to just be circulating warm air through the box, i think il be fine tho, it only gets that high for a few hours a day, so it shouldnt kill them at all other than that temp is around 88 right now
 
24/0 made yours seem like they werent growing really, plants for us have shown more growth when they get a few hours of sleep every night
 
Day 10 and all seems well, ones plant got burnt on the leaves cuz i had gotten a few drops of water on it, my bud says its from bugs eating from underneath the soil but i doubt it, cuz none of the others are messed up and i sprayed my room and closet like hell so there shouldnt be any bugs anywhere around it
