Hi rollitup growers, just looking for some advice / opinions on time frames and how my seedlings are doing so far.
My seedlings are both planted in 'BioBizz light mix soil' and are about 16 days since germination.
1 is a purple kush the other Ak47 (got them mixed up when germination so not sure which is which, will become apparent when I start seeing some delectable purple buds from my kush though!)
Both are being grown inside next to balcony window in the UK, supplmented by some cfl light although not very intensive, they are probably getting about 5 hours direct sunlight (its been decent weather here lol i know wtf) and about 5 hours cfl light a day, so not as much as i would like but this will change soon. I bought a big 125W cfl light which I will be using soon.
Question 1: One seedling is slightly more stunted and has more yellowy leaves than the other looks healthy vibrant green albeit slightly stretched. What could be the reason for this seeing as they are in identical situations?
2: I have recently bought a large CFL 125W light with both light spectrums with built on reflector: should I ditch the balcony window position and just have the cfl on them for like 20 hours a day? or should the opprtunity for direct sunlight not be shunned? Its just it might be a problem having the CFL on the balcony window area because that my main livng area and I don't think the gf will be too happy to have her evenings basking in eerie cfl light, may kill the mood a bit lol. So I think its either direct sun but less hours , or more hours in another room with CFL light. What do you think?
3: When should I start fertilizing? I bought BioBizz grow and Biobizz flower fertilizers.
4: I feel i may be over watering a bit but not sure what is optimal. They are in quite large pots and read that seedlings need to be in slighty moist soil most of the time. Should I lean towards underwatering at this stage?
5: yield estimates, and any experience or insight into these strains would be appreciated
here are some pics of them 16 days old :


Ok so you cant really see from these pictures, but one plant is much more yellow from the center outwards(not the edges/tips) than the other and is less developed both in height and leaf development. Could this be a strain straight or is it a deficiency or mutation?
Thanks
Oh yeah and I don't have a fan on them but they are in a large well vetilated room, however sometimes I feel they may be over heating in the direct sunlight through the window with little air movement but I could just be being over prtective.
Also I haven't taken any PH readings. Is this a must.I know my soil PH from the infol on the pack (6.3) but I m just watering them with filtered tap water, about once every 2/3 days.
