first of all , if your using water from the sink, let it sit 24 hours to get rid of the chlorine....chlorine is not good for your babies....move the cfls about 2 inches from the tops.....this will prevent stretching..... lay off with the water man....way to much....only water once every 1 or 2 days when the top of the soil is crusty or stick your finger about a half inch down , if its moist....dont water....follow these simple steps for now and watch em grow....they look ok besides maybe starting to stretch a bit.....good luck...

you can start flowering anytime you want....it really depends on your height restrictions because some plants can double in height during flower......I like to get mine at least 20 inches or more before flowering....the longer you veg , the better....

well at the rate your gowing with streching about 3 weeks, but if you move the light within 2-3 inches 2 months.

I wouldn't flower seeds until they were mature. Which is indicated by uneven nodes on the stem.

Do this. When the roots have hit the bottom of your pots, wait a couple days and pot into a larger pot. Leave that one until the roots have started filling the pot. Then flower once your roots are established. Or you can pot up again. By the time your roots have finished filling your last pot they should be mature and ready to flower.

if your using MG soil you dont need to add anything...you'll actually do your plants more harm then good...you will over nute them.....you are useing the self feed stuff right???...if so, no need to add anything for about 2 1/2 months or so....Id suggest fox farms big bloom....also when you flower, start giving them 2 tlbs. of mollasess per gallon of water every time you water....this will give you fatter buds....you can buy mollasess at your local grocery store.....
