Yo peeps, I got my White Widow (10x) and 5 free NYC Diesel seeds from from a very good and fast shipping seed bank!
I'm would like to do this whole grow with the help of my fellow growers at RIT!
Here's the whole setup and step process as of now.

Setup:
4 x 4 x 8 grow room
400w MH (for veg)
400w HPS (for flower)
Master Flow vent (1000 CFM)
4 Bubble Buckets
Hydroton
JW Fusion Air Pump 700

Nutes:
Jack's Classic All Purpose
Green Light Super Bloomd


PROGRESS!
As of March 17, 2012 the seeds have sank in the shot glass and have been placed in peat pellets!
I tried to get a picture of our little babies' taproot in the pic.
They're currently in the humidity dome at temps of 74-77°F.
Leave those suckers in there for about 7 days, around 70°, with humidity levels hopefully around 70%!

setting a small cup of water in the dome with them will make it keep constant high hum and will dry out less ^_^ hope it helps

UPDATE!

Around 7am this morning (March 19, 2012) some of my babies came up (first pic). After I got home from school (3pm) I checked on them and they have all became visible (second pic).

Once the two true leafs sprout from each one and the roots start to show, I'll transplant them into my bubble buckets and start out with 1/8 strength nutes.

UPDATE!: (March 21, 2012) :D

We've transplanted our babies into a bubble bucket with the Jack's Classic around 125ppm (starting off soft). They're under the 400w MH.
Oooh, and we just installed an air conditioner for those very hot times. Trying to maintain a good 75°F.

BONUS: NYC Diesels are looking pretty good. I will make another log sooner or later.

get the light as close as you can. i have my 400 one to two feet off the tops. three feet is the furthest i would want them. a fan helps disperse the heat really well. and its good to have a strong breeze on the plants to strengthen the stem.

We've had major PH fluctuations due to some type of slime that could cause root rot. We first added 5mL of H2O2 and that did kill a bit of the infection but not enough! We then stepped our strength up to kill the whole infections! BLEACH became the handyman to kill everything. Used one cap of bleach and ate up the whole infection. Rinsed/cleaned the bucket, changed the water, and re-did everything. Now we have a stable PH of 5.8.
The second set of leaves are started to bloom on all our babies. We've moved the light closer (1.5' from tops) to hopefully get better, or faster, growth.
PPM: 306
PH: 5.8-5.9
Not too good of pictures.

They're indoor at nights, for now, because of low temps.

try to get your light as close as you can and they wont stretch out like that. i would put that cooler on a little stool cause i know moving the light is a bitch. also i would get the fan a little closer to shake them around and strengthen them up.

I don't know if our plant is growing as fast as it should. I've seen other grows and by the third week they have plenty leaves.
Could anybody tell me if my plants look good and are growing well?
PPM: 215
PH: 5.7
It's been about one week and 3 days.

One of the plant's leaves started curling downward so I moved the light a little further away to see if that solves anything.
