so i had a huge heat problem for about 3 weeks for these babies, but finally i got it fixxed, got a 4" inline fan and also a small swamp cooler, the temps are about 78-80 and 50-60 humidity.
i got a 400 watt hps on them now and will use it during flowering to.
they seemed to streched though for some reason i dunno why i got the hps about a foot from plants, could it be a worn out bulb?

If the light is on chances are your bulb is fine.

They do look a little stretched like you said but that can be fixed over time.
One looks a bit droopy, Other then those Your looking good.:hump:

Just keep doing what your doing and keep your temps down don't overwater and keep the exaust vent off the plants and you'll do fine.:weed::hump::joint:

What nutes are you using?

They're not that stretched..pile some dirt up to cotyledons and when you repot plant a bit deeper... 2 things screw baby plants, too much water/nutes..... Luck..

temp is key too during this stage, they like the grow medium (rockwool, rapid rooter plug) to be warm yet the root area 60-68F

i just transplanted them, wont those be big enough, 2 gallon containers?
my homie at the hydro store said dont nute them for 3 weeks because the soil has hella shit in it
so no nutes yet, what should i start out wit though?
i transplanted them a little over a week ago into the new soil
(was using MG organic :/ was garbage)

Depends on how big ur goin, but those containers should do fine. U wanna start ur nutes at a quarter strength, then work ur way up. I've heard a lot that the mg organics is crap too, but it's supposed to be better that the moisture control(which i tried, sucks too). Anyhoo, good luck with the grow.

Use whatever kind u wish, organic ferts are harder to burn plants with. For veggin, u want Somethin higher in N than in P and K is what u want. Then when it come time to flower, switch to somethin higher in P and K than N. Make sense?

congrats, upgrade your res, have room for a 50 gal res? you can cut out 6" holes for your pots, less water cahnge, less ph adjustment, more water for your plants (during flowering)
