Hey man you are off and running! Are these auto plants or photos? The nutes in your soil will last at least a month even with a larger plant so I would go real easy on feeding, personally I wouldn't give her anything for awhile but plain water. You are probably over-watering! Small plants don't need much water and remember that less is more, you won't hurt her by under-watering, but you'll know when she's thirsty. You should be giving very little water at this point. Also, make some more drain holes.. if you've been watering a lot, I guarantee there is water standing in the bottom of your container.. and that will "drown" the roots, stunt, and kill the plant. Hope this helps, you are doing well and remember that learning is something that never stops.. Good luck man!

I really appreciate your input, will definitely be taking your advice !!

She's an Auto, I watered her like 4 or 5 days ago on dry soil and low % nuts, the weather has sent been that good ( rain + cloudy for most of the week ) so shes definitely looking over watered. I did do lots of small holes for drainage, hopefully the soil will dry out over a sunny week end and I will hold off the nuts.

(Update)

(seeing some beige spots on some of the leaves hope its nothing serious)

Looks like you are off to a good start. Sometimes the bottom leaves get too wet for too long from watering. Is your circulating fan on 24/7? That might help dry out your soil. fertilizers will drop your ph so if you don't have a good ph meter use something else, Advanced is popular. The most important thing is , have fun. Good luck and good karma.

Thanks !, She is outdoors now and its been raining almost every afternoon, (she has good drainage), hopefully I wont have any problems. I feel its better for her since I'm not micro managing the grow and just letting nature do its thing ( just a bit worried about the rain). I do have a soil meter that also measures pH but i don't think they are very accurate.

Just got her back in the PC grow box to get her out of the rain, second seedling leaves not looking good hopefully I can get the soil to dry up a bit under the CFLs, also noticing some parasites in some of the leaves (Leaf miners) I looked it up on Google and apparently the only way to deal with this issue is to remove the affected leaves.
