@stumps - I use 1.5L bottle with 5ml of Root-Juice for little one and 1.5ml on 1.5L bottle with Bio-Grow for big one. Ok when the plant was transplanted I use all bottle after that I was thinking if is not to much, but for 3 days I don't water them, only the baby and this one I give low water not to much and just morning and night 2 twice a day (12hours).

I only feed once every other week. I don't know a thing about the nutes your using. But those plants are very young. I think your mostly suffering from over water along with the replant. I use 1/2 the volume of water to the soil in the pot. Water them very slow. Maybe use a spray bottle for awhile. that makes you water slow. also your light need to be no more then then 5 cm of the tops of the plants.

shit sorry was thinking about another thread with cfl's. That should be ok. I use a smaller light with small plants. Mine are about 63cm when they go under the 400w. I run a cool tube so my light runs about 35cm off the tops. lol I hope I'm at least close I don't use metric much.

Don't water light just water. I would leave them go right now till the dry out a bunch. your pot should be very light next time you water. As for nutes. As I said I don't know a thing about them. Rule of thumb is a 1/4 mix when you start them out. If you see leaf tips yellowing you'll know your over feeding.

Danny, If those are styrofoam cups or any kind for that matter be sure to have some drainage holes in the bottom, otherwise you run the risk of having the roots sitting in water and causing problems. I know the hydro guys will tell you different, but growing in soil is not the same as hydro. In fact I owuld go ahead and transplant to bigger posts to be safe!

Have to disagree here. The plants look fine to begin with, and you do not want to disturb the developing root system until necessary.

dude dont feed your plants nutes until it has 4 sets of leaves (end of seedling stage) i would start feeding the first week of veg so you dont burn your babies.
i use party cups for my seedlings too, i keep them in there for week n half/ 2 weeks with out nutes, then i put them either in 1 gal, but lately i go straight to 5 gal. give them 2tbsp big bloom per gal of water for first feeding. easiest for me.
good luck bud

They will thank you and they will never know they were repotted if you are gentle... Just cut down the sides with scissors so you can get tha root ball intact. Be sure and pull some roots loose from the ball before planting....Water em good to get air out and settle dirt in and stand back! Take it easy with the nutes, it can cause problems. I repotted my plants after 1 week, but they were in 1/2 beer cans...
