tell me if its going alright?

Planted about 2 weeks ago, transplanted yesterday. I can see first set over three leaves and the second set just starting to pop out, but there is no verticle growth. I will try and get some pics up to let you see. Water every 3-4 days, when the soil is crusty. I haven't used any nutes, really not sure about them. I have 4-26w cfls on them and it just wont grow up, DAMN IT.

Im using a 24\0
Be patient. I think they spend more time in the first couple of weeks growing a root system than they do the leaves. Here's a pic of one of mine at 2 weeks, and one at three weeks - same plant, you can see the diff once past that two week mark. Well ok, the pics went up backwards, but you see what I mean. lol Good luck!:peace:

Depends which of us you were talkin to? lol I use 20/4 light cycle - saw a thread where someone actually did some experimenting with the light cycles, and found 20/4 to be the best for yield vs root growth. I veg mine for eight weeks. Yep, I use nutes. For veg I use MG All Purpose Plant Food (the liquid) at a half teaspoon per gallon, per week, a drop of Superthrive per gallon every watering, and the molassas. I start the molassas at 2 weeks, everything else at three weeks.:peace:
 
ill have to get some pics up to get your HO about the lil one. ill keep in touch with the condition of her, i didnt mention on here that i had just moved her to a larger pot, so im waiting for her to start moving again. just waiting. torture. ill try on change the cycle and still iffy about nutes. thanks for the info

here they are finally:twisted:
She's a little beauty, looking good! I can't remember off the top of my head what you're growing in, but for future reference, I would add some extra Perlite to the mix, I've found the extra really helps me with drainage. :peace:
