your stems are really long, i'm growing mine under 2 t5 6500k, also your leaves seem to have a bright green, mine are darker :)

These are under 4 6500K T5 HO. 24" They are in starter plugs and have only received water. I am starting them off with 300ppms and transplanting them into rockwool cubes.
I grow Hydro. My plants will just now start getting nutrients while yours have been getting them already from the soil.​

They are all looking very good mate keep them on a mix of superthrive and water set at around 5.6/6.0 till they double in size this way you will have less problems inthe long run.then after a few week feed them a small dose of nutes but keep he ph the same.then bang them on full feed and now you can up the feed i bet you don't have harf the problems most growers have who have there ph too high and too higher nutes for young plants.i have my plant on this ph all the way through the grow.All so flush the plants once every 2 week o get rid of any salt build ups leave them to dry after flush when dry start nutrients again.

From what I've read some of the older leafs turn yellow at seedling stage as new growth comes through but it may be worth checking your ph to make sure that's ok as well. Thought I'd post a pic of my baby at day 14 under 250w CFL (journal link in sig):

my PH is at the range of 6.5-7, should i drop it? i do have a p.h. downer kit but im not sure if it'll actually help or not

also, im using foxfarm oceanforest soil, im kind of wishing i did a hydroponic system now that i've started my grow lol.. seems like hydro has more control or i just get plants that wilt and die for no reason :(

first one is my wilting one, i dont know how to save it

second one is my big bad 9 day old sprout *the white stuff is water from me misting*

Hey dude, I'm guessing that's why your leafs are turning funky and dying. It's the misting - when you water the leafs the lights will evaporate the water on them and potentially burn the leafs - I always water the soil and leave it at that - every 2nd day or when ever the soil is drying up. Be careful not to over water. Check out my journal for my progress if you want - in my sig!
