Generally people like to keep humidity higher with seedlings/clones (i put ziploc bags over them until they sprouted) Havent done a ton of looking into it though. Just make sure that there is a little air flow (aka no air tight humidity domes).

Also dont overwater, its hard but i stunted my plants early on because i didnt let the soil dry out enough.

I just checked my babies, and the soil does seem quite wet... almost too wet, I just got my hydrometer today, I live in a humid place - and the RH is about 70% today... it naturally stays at around 60-70% usually...

I'm going to let them dry out a little...

New sprouts! 2 are sprouted, one is just popping through (you can see it in the pic!) but still no sign of the 4th.... Starting to think it might be a dud! lol

So the 4th wasn't a dud! It was sitting down too far in the soil, and had to fight it's way out (with a little help from me!)...

I dug away the soil on the top, and voila there was a 2 inch seeding! So they're all under my 100w Blackstar... :D

They're growing really quickly, it's really neat to check on them every couple hours to see the new leaves forming.... They all are starting their second set of leaves already!

How long should I wait before adding any nutes? A week? 2 weeks? Start at 1/4 strength and gradually add more over the next 2 weeks?

I've also decided to scale back to 2 plants - I don't think I have the room to grow 4 plants, my scrog screen is 32"x18".. so about 4 square feet, anyone have any input on how many plants could potentially fit in a screen that size?

Would I be better off growing 2 bigger plants that I let veg for longer, or 4 smaller plants that I don't let veg very long?

Be careful i gave my plants nutes at 2/2.5 weeks and they were burnt a little :/
I would wait until they are a decent size
If youre going to have half be males then keep the 4. If youre using feminized then i would say 2 scrogged would work just dandy :P

I was thinking of just using the voodoo juice, it's got no fertilizer in it - it's just for root development. Thoughts?

Here's all my nutes, in all their glory! lol

EDIT: Been having some wacky humidity problems, one day it's 80% the next it's 10%... I've tried to correct the problem by putting a glass on water in front of my intake fan, and it seems to be working - the RH has risen to 40% just from that.... the temp is pretty stable, ranges from 23-28 degrees Celsius. My "temp control" consists of opening the window in my room, as the intake fan I'm using is about 3 feet away... it works really well!

When using Bat guano make sure you wear a breathing mask, I was in a class last week and they talked about a guy who had a fungus growing in his lungs, they didn't know what caused it until more tests, turns out he had been breathing in the bat guano while mixing it, and it settled in his lungs and almost killed him once the fungus started taking hold. they caught it in time.
