Greeting my fellow growers. This is my first grow and i did some research but I'm still confused and think I'm doing something wrong. I'm growing 6 plants. Planted my seeds 5 days ago, The 12/8/13.
Growing
2 Acapulco Gold
2 G13 haze (1 Dead)
2 LSD
Using a seed started. Planted them and they started to come out 3 Days later. When they came out i added a 65W light source plus i added Balanced pH water at 6 third day and yesterday to keep the cubes moist( don't know if i should waited a couple of more days but the leaf were white/yellow when i added the light source they turned green so i'm guessing it was a positive thing). Thinking about making the transplant when the leaf grow more ( see pic). now the problem and question are, the G13 I've left bended and it looks broken don't know how to go about this. Should i just put a lil support system and let it keep growing like it is now or is it even going to keep growing? Both Acapulco gold looked fine but I'm a lil concerned since the small leafs are turning a lil brownish and i know that's not a good thing. How do i avoid that? add more light maybe since you don't feed the youngsters the first 2 weeks? and the leaf looks stuck to each other unlike the LSD which is coming along beautifully. When should i make the transplant to the 5 Gallon. should i had left the seeds in completely darkness for a whole week straight or i pulled out the gun too fast by adding the light source after 3 days just cause the leafs started to show. Plus one of my Acapulco have a Lil crack between leafs. do i need to worry about that? Got my seeds from a very reliable source and they been around for a long time.

My set up is 600w
465 C Exhaust fan (controller to control temp)
135 C Intake Fan
Superroots Air-Pot 5 Gallon
6" Cooltube XL Reflector w/ add-on 29" x 26"
Growing space 6'5, 5'0, 3'0
Indoor Air Quality Meter - Co2, Temperature & relative Humidity
Small Wall Fan for air Circulation
Portable humidifier to Control humidifier inside Grow Space

Since its my first grow I'm testing to see what works best for me.

2 Pots fill with 80% Miracle Grow and 20% Perlite and HydroStone Expanded Clay Pellets at the bottom for draigane.
3 Pot fill with 60% Canna Coir 20% Organic Black Worm Casting, 20% Perlite since Coco doesnt hold much water and have to be watered daily and HydroStone Expanded Clay Pellets for drainage.
For Nutes i'm using Sensi coco Bloom Part A and B. Know not to feed the pots which contain MG since already comes with Nutes. Might feed after the 8 weeks but its not coco so i Dont know how my Plants will react .

Still working on the feeding schedule. i was thinking for coco, water one day and water+nute the next.

i was looking at the strains you have 2 of the 3 are heavy Sativa and will not only flower a lot longer but will probably over grow the LSD
just putting that out there might want to look into some training :)
happy growing

ya, dont over think it too uch. water, soil, light and air.... they will grow! but my input is, you should transplant those little ones NOW. they are quite leggy. leave like 1" or 2" of the plant above soil, bury the reast. they look healthy though.

i grew with miracle grow orchid mix last time, and i only watered with some molasses in the water. no nutes, i vegged for 5 weeks and flowered for 7 weeks, should have flowered longer, but i didnt have to feed any nutes with the MG soil.

And, yo dont need to start feeding until the water leaves are dried and gone, then just let the plants tell you when they are hungry.

hope this helps, good luck and happy growing!
