As things progress I have always had good luck using blood and bone meal in soil. And as stated above the weight of your pots is a great indicator of the plants needs. Another thing that helped me was multiple waterings. Water all the plants and wait 5-10 minutes and water again till you get run off. It seems to distribute the water better to the root zone. Good luck!
 
Update... well i was using jiffy pots (I don't recommend them), today i went out bought Schultz seed mix, and 6 inch pots... I had previously bought a hygrometer, and every time i checked my seedlings they were dry as shit.. Needless to say i had to change up things, and after all the fantastic suggestions, i decided slightly bigger pots, and a medium designed for seedlings was better.. Well the difference as soon as i transplanted them in the moisture of the soil less mix, and the difference on the hygrometer was huge.. I'm just waiting on my led and some real seeds, i'm glad i had bag end seeds to practice with.. In a week I should have a 300 watt led, which is actually 210 watts, however i think for 4 plants (that i'm sure atleast 2 will be male) this should be enough, with 4 20 watt Ottlite cfl's when they get bigger. I know have a fan in the room and i'm assuming with the above changes i should see some difference, assuming i didn't traumatize the hell out of the seedlings transplanting them.... Once again thank you for the advice to a newb... Even though all the info is already here.
