My medium is 50% Miracle Grow Seed starting mix... [yes it has macro nutes in it for plants first two weeks]
I mix it with 25% Perilite...
and 25% Vermiculite...
Your soil must drain very well...'
If you have 3 holes in cup bottom...
Drill 5 more....

I think I may have fucked up there. I didn't put that much (maybe 10% if that) Pearlite in because my coco came in those hard bricks and I noticed that they drained really well. Maybe I'll put more Pearlite into the mix like 20-30% when I transplant them to their 3 gallon smart pots provided they both start producing nodes and don't come down with a slight case of death.

I woke up this morning to my AI cotyledon leaves drooping strait down almost. The two serrated fan leaves did grow some but not much. Still no discoloration.

I misted the domes and the plants a bit and turned off the lights for a few hours to give them time to rest. Hope this helps.
Your plants are fine...but if you don't already have them on a timer...do so now! 18/6 or 16/8 is where you want them and I would take them out of the dome now, at this stage too moist of conditions can cause stem rot...and make sure you have a small fan for air flow

Let me ask you guys this. Still learning to read all of the "signs" the plants are telling me.

Aurora Indica - Cotyledons are drooping but the teeny tiny little "fan" leaves are pointing outward and slightly up.

Snow White - Cotyledons are almost level again but her tiny little fan leaves are pointing strait up.

Is the Snow White telling me she needs more water while the AI is still waterlogged?

I would invest in a moisture meter if I were you, just to take some of the guess work out of when to water, they don't cost very much either....I fear you may LOVE your plants to death like I did my first go round, the first time is always the hardest.

I have a slight purple discoloration in my 2nd pair of true leaves im not shure if this is good or bad if i am using a 80 watt 6500k not equiv just 80 watt, and a 14 watt 2700k for that little red spectrum for cfl. Im not shure if this is enough or too much for a seedling only on its 2nd pair of leaves
