A couple of things...

Temp can't go higher than 26*C (they mights suffer from heat exhaustion) If you don't find a way to regulate the temperature then you might have to get some exhaust fans and/or turn some lights off.
Ideal lights for vegetative state is ~6,500K (also known as blue light). I don't think the 12k light that you got there will do much.
Don't start on nutrients, wait for week 3-4 of your veg state to do so.

One more thing, get your lights closer to the plants once the 1 week is over. You need your CFL's as close as the plant (without burning them) to be more efficient and use as much light as possible. I say you can put them anywhere between 2-6 inches from plant.

I hope I could help. Feel free to send me a message if there's anything else I can help you with. I got a similar grow that I started two days ago (is in my sign).

i can control the temp without turning some light off, will fix it to 25-26


about 12000K bulb, a member told me that

12-10000k lights are a little better than 65000k or 7000k, but thay do have just a little too much deep blue, i would say a 2-1 ratio with the 7000k to 12000k is fine

u can check it

I don't know why everyone feels the need to germinate the seeds in the paper towels first and then place them in the soil. I place them straight into their birthing place(soil) and lightly mist them for the next few days. Have had 100% doing it this way to. Also you don't have to worry about breaking the fragile taproot off or whether you placed in correctly in the soil. This is just IMO so by all means what works for me may not work for another.

I think the only reason people do that is to make sure it's a good seed but my theory is that if it's placed into soil and comes up it was good instead of waiting around to see if it germs and then having to worry about moving it without breaking the taproot off.

BTW best of luck to you man. Hope it all works out for you. We have all lost our babies due to many things but it's how we learn and gain experience. We all had to start somewhere.
