7 Days old plants from a newbie

Hey guys,

I am new to growing, and I would appreciate your opinion...!

My seedlings are 7 days old, under 7x 23w 6500k (600w equivalent) and 1 40w 2700k (150w equivalent) CFL. The lamps are about 4 inch above the plants. I am using distilled water, and have a fan running for air flow. The temperature is a constant 73F.

How do you think each of the seedlings are looking (I watered them a few hours ago)? The growing is slow, but that is probably due to the root system being developed. Since I have not come across live cannabis plants before, I am not sure what to think as they look somewhat sad to me. That is probably due to over watering, right?

Thanks for your help!!

I would invest in a HID light if those are all fems. The only good thing about fluoros is how close you can get them to the plants without frying them/ light bleaching.

Not bad. 200w isn't a ton of light but it's a good start. HID requires serious investment because of the heat output of the lamp.

I'm having the same problem of slow growth, and I believe it may have been an overwatering problem as well. I have the seedlings in Rockwool and at now Day 15, they barely look as good as your D 7. I assume lighting doesn't matter as much for the first 2 weeks, and that over watering is the problem. I also am running a hydro system so it's draining less than soil would.
