Man I really want some White Rhino seeds!!!! I think thats what I am going to try growing next. Anyway to answer some of your questions -

Should i get more lights? You are defiantly going to need more lights if you plant to veg and flower 2 plants with CFL's. 6500k for veg and 2700k for flower. Try and get some with a high wattage and highest lumens possible. I would say at least 3-4 per plant.

how often should i run my fan? run your fan 24-7 to help move around air and cool your grow box.

when should i start giving it nut.? In my opinion wait to give nutes you have a couple of fan leave sets growing.

How much are you watering them? once a day? every other day? how much water?

well, I'm a hydro guy.. but to my knowledge if you put your seeds root tip DOWN seven days ago you should be seeing something. What kind of soil are you using? How wet have you been keeping the soil? Temps? << Those would be the first three things I would look at.

yes, that is your problem. You should have planted them root tip DOWN with the seed pointing upward. Not being a dick at all but you should check out the FAQ to gain a little more knowledge.. It's full of a TON of info.. and almost all the stickeys have useful stuff too. Don't forget, if your not sure where to find something use the search option. And if you still can't find anything ask away. As for your plants.. They might come up anyway, but your odds of getting all of them up is cut very short now. Since you are very early in the process I would probably just start over if you have more seeds.. Good luck man! :bigjoint:

ok so i replanted the seeds root tip down.... now hopefully they will come up. But i have a questions because i planted them before with root tip up.. they broke the soil and stayed above the soil for 3 days and didn't do anything. now the root that was above soil is it dead or still good. ... will it still work now that i have planted them correctly with root tip down?

ah.. hard to tell.. they almost defiantly will be shocked.. if the root tip is white that is a good sign.. Time will tell.. good luck.

That'd be the tap-root, which anchors your plant(s) to the ground. Outdoors they serve a purpose throughout the grow. Indoors, I cut mine off at final depth when doing my final transplant. It's not likely my plants will face hurricane force winds and trimming off the tip obviously would promote more feeder roots.
Not for the squeamish. You can actually trim all those unruly roots when TP'ing without any effect.
Of course, I'm talking about healthy, growing plants . . . not sickly or skimpy ones.
I wouldn't know how this would effect those.
