Ok everyone here are the specifics on my first grow so please take a look and tell me what I'm doing right or wrong. This might be a long post so bear with me.
I started with 2 Kera Seeds as they said they were good for even beginners- a Dwarf and a Crazy Bud - these were my problem children but I'm hoping they pull through. Started them in MG but have since transplanted one into my new soil but left the other in the MG as it seemed to be doing ok.
When I thought they were possibly not going to make it I dropped 2 more seeds so that I might be able to salvage something - one is a Toof Decay and the other is a Pyramid White Widow. These were both started and transplanted using my new soil - LC's mix 2 which I found the recipe for on one of these forum sites.
I will attach photos if I can so you can see how they are doing. My problem children (stubby and curly) will be the first photos and then dr drew (Toof decay) and then Winnie (white widow). The first two popped about 9/13, Toof popped 9/24 and widow popped 9/28.
For lights I have 2 Mars 300 units and also used 4 23 6500 cfl's for their startup. My grow area is about 2x2.5x60. Photos were taken yesterday and it's amazing how much they've grown since then.
Let me know what you think and what I'm doing right or wrong. Look forward to all comments and questions.

Updated pics after the weekend. Amazing what a few days can do. Photos in same order as before I just included their names. I know pics under LED light aren't great but their color is good so it was easier to just use these.

I apologize for taking so long to come. Grow is looking good man. Couple questions, though...Is curly showing pistils already? The soil, did you add in vermiculite or perlite to it? Looks very compacted in there. Are you keeping up with the temps? I have a tent slightly bigger than yours and was using the mars hydro 600w and it raised my temps into the 90s at times. My mistakes were overwatering, heat stress, humidity being too low and temps being too high. Keeping the temp and humidity in check kinda takes care of the other two issues. Thats all I can think of. By no means am I a pro, this is my first grow too so we're learning together. I'm watching your thread now so I should be receiving your update alerts. Keep up the good work
 
Have perlite in them all but maybe Curly got a bum deal on it. I'll check for pistils - she actually was really really short and didn't look good for about 2 weeks before transplant so she's older than she looks but still not ready for pistils yet. Temps range from 77-81 and RH ranges from 42-50 with humidifier going all the time. It's really dry here so takes a lot to get humidity up. Trying not to water too much and think I'm ok there. Those last pics were after not being watered for 3-4 days.
Believe me i appreciate any help and ideas you all can throw my way. Don't be afraid to give me any tips you got - always more to learn!!
 
For sure bro. I would also look into silica or silicon. It has MULTIPLE perks for using with MJ. Pest control, and temp issues is why I bought some. Theres plenty of vids on youtube about it. If you get some time. Check them out. Theres a link on here too. If I find it, I'll share it with you.
