This is my first grow indoors and i have no idea really what im doing. i germinated two seeds using paper towel method. Now two weeks later i have 1 plant from those two seeds and 1 that i started about a week ago. i have them under six cfls 4 are 2150 lumens and the other 2 are 2700. For my soil i used about 50% peat moss , 35% pearlite, and 15% miracle grow soil. i am manual watering and feeding. The first two seedling from a week ago got burnt cause my lites fell on them. one of them died but i think the other might pull through (hopefully). Any advice and tips would help alot thx. Here are some pics of my setup

For some reason a lot of people say that. 3 inches is definitely close enough for a seedling. You want to find the perfect distance where there isn't too much stretching, but your plants aren't being bombarded and eventually dry and crisp up. I had a cfl an inch away from one of my plants and it burnt the shit out of a tip. Makes me mad every time I see the burnt tip now.

i like the homemade drip sys, good work man. one thing i noticed in the first pic tho, you probably know this already, but its a good idea to put your reservoir below the drip nozzels and the pump to avoid flooding out your shit. i had some bad experiances with an identical setup a few years back, i had to learn the hard way lol
