First time grower respectfully in need of assistance

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaany new developments?

Word up the girls are coming alive...the fan if you can have it blowing into the tent to give them the circulation. It's good for the girls to "dance" a little especially when there's co2 .

Yes! I am excited to say that all three plants are growing, and quickly!

1st Sister

2nd Sister

Anddddd last but not least, the 3rd Sister!

All 3 of the girls chillin. Still a bit too cold to add circulation with a fan. It will cool them off too much. I'm already sitting at 21 degrees Celsius

She's reaching for the stars!!!

To be honest, I don't know the strains. Just practicing for the first time with collected seeds.
My light is hovered about 4 inches away from the girls. And thank you, here's an update from what happened over night:

First sister is so quick!!! She keeps climbing like it's no one's business.

Lovely... turns out some friends are making a home with the new plants.



Not sure what type of pest it is yet but I need to tackle this shit now.

I was able to previously killed one of them by scraping it off and smashing it on the cement (before I realized I should have identified it) and the other one tried retreating and fell off the leaf when I tried to scoop it up.

Since I realized I was getting bugs I tied off all openings into the tent and zipped every zipper closing off the outside.

If they are aphids then it seems like I did the right thing, I guess you can manually kill them whenever they latch on to the leaf, EARLY on that is and it is early. I have been checking the plants off and on for about an hour and a half now and so far I don't see any making their way up the stems or even under the leaves but it does piss me off knowing that one of them fell off into the soil. Does this mean that he will be right back up the stem and onto the leaf? I hope that they aren't laying eggs in the soil or something.

They are all looking so much better!

Morning update!

I am surprised to announce that all the plants are pretty much at the same phase, it seems like the slow pokes caught up easily.



Pest update:
When I checked the plants before bed I did notice a red bug flying around but not able to find the plants. It was flying around the outside of the tray and it was a bit to quick and dynamic that it was impossible to predict it's movement. I, somehow, pissed it off by creating movement in the tent and it started to flying toward the opening to where I was. It simply FLEW OUTSIDE of the tent and is no where to be found now. I checked this morning and, well, look at the pics. No pests for now.

As close up as I can get for now.

As per others' input, I added some air flow to the tent. It is a simple window fan but it's pumping air, the girls are dancing like crazy.



Although the airflow is awesome now, it did drop the humidity (glad it's not the temp!).



In order to counter this I added a small bowl of water that I placed under the light with the girls. We'll see how this fairs for now.

We got some girls really taking off! Starting to show personality and motivation!

go seedlings go!!

Morning update. Seems like the girls are waking up quickly.



Pest Update:
I noticed there was another aphid chilling on one of the leaves last night. I ended up making a solution of dish soap and water and sprayed the leaves top and bottom last night. Well, according to the pics there are no more aphids chilling on the leaves... for now.

I threw a few things together and created a more permanent light solution. 2 6500k lights with reflector.



Yup, temp went up but the vent flap was also closed when I took the pic. Now the fan is blowing directly inside. I will check on the temp in a few.
