Check This Setup!!!! Feedback..!!

looks good for now but you'll need some more lights when the plants mature. Also are those lights 2700k or 6500k? Btw watering seedlings once a day is insane, stop doing it plz (water once every 2-3 days) One last thing, you may want to get a fan to lower temp. and strengthen the stems. Your setup looks good for now though

He for got 1 thing. STOP FERTILIZEING THEM.

You are watering too often - over-watering will kill them quickly at that age.
They need almost no nutes - over-feeding will kill them quickly at that age.
Your lights won't do very long and have a very low effective depth.

Your setup will do temporarily but you've got to sort out a proper watering and nute schedule. Since you've already put nutes in, don't put any more for a couple weeks (maybe, hard to know at this point depending on what you do from here.) Don't water until the soil has almost completely dried out. When they get older, DO let it dry out completely before watering.

With those small bulbs nutrient and water absortion/evaporation will be low - as I've already said, don't over do it or your plants will suffer or die.

oh yeah don't add fertilizer untill 2-3 weeks after sprouting right?

start saving now and get a 600 watt hps (and ballast) for flower, it should cover 6 plants. you'll be happy you saved that money for sure.

You already put nutes in which you probably shouldn't have (depending on your soil and even then it would be just a pinch) but since you did you'll just have to go with it. Just don't put any mroe in until they get older ... a lot depends on what you do for a future setup because with bigger lights you can use more nutes, smaller lights, less, because the plant is not growing at the same rate etc.

Where can I look for one of those and what are the price range?

yah whatever you do dont let them get to tall to quick cfls are good because you can dam near put them right on the plant without cooking it. If the plant falls over they die quick so keep the light right on it I cant see how far in the pic you have the light but 3 may be 4 inch away and for sure get the fan going.

Hydroponics stores, online ... I can get a complete 600 watt HPS kit (light, reflector, ballast) here (Canada) for under $300 - 400 watt, $250 - the 1000 watt where I get mine isn't much different than the 600s so I go for them.
