that looks like a decent setup. looks pretty short is it a cabinet or something? either way, you can top your plants and keep them low. What lights are you using? 1 CFL is fine for brand new plants, but you will need more power soon. What nutrients will you be using? they can start to get a light feeding now. 1/3rd strength suggested on bottle/box probably.
good luck and keep us updated. we love pics :-)

they look perfectly healthy to me! a bit of stretch, but easy enough to fix with some more soil as already suggested.
I guess "babies" is the right word! we always want to know they are ok and keep checking them. Your babies look perfectly healthy as the pediatricain might say.

a useful tip, get the PH to a nice point. Ive noticed that babies with purple or magenta stems are sometimes nute locked or elementally deficient. Could be the strain, or light but at 2 weeks old I think they might be runnin a bit slow. Have fun  | | The Following User Says Thank You to v0ssman For This Useful Post: | |

thanks v0ss, i beenreading the indoor growers bible. and i been doing alot of reading on here as well, but thank you for the tips.
ILESO, man i got just the closet for growing bro, its 5 1/2 foot tall and 3 foot wide. im gonna be taking the shelfs out today and cutting it to mount 3 old computer fans as exhausts. 2 at the bottom on both sides, and one in the middle about 3 foot from bottom. and guess what guys..? i just ordered me a 250w hps set up from hidhut.com but do you think it will be ok to change them right from cfl to hps? or should i germ some more seeds and try and run both?
