These plants are going on 2 1/2 weeks old.As you can see they are indoor in boxes made of Aluminum house sealing foam paper or something of that sort I found at Home Depot,Basically Reflective walls.It has bottom ventilation with the light coming in from the side of one of the walls at the top and the fans above it pulling air from the bottom..The boxes are made 17" wide (all the way around. ) And a little over 24" (2 feet) high.There are 16 plants in each box.In 1 box I am running a Compact florescent (65w/6500k) screw in bulb. The other is running a 68W SPRING COMPACT FLUORESCENT (CFL) MEDIUM BASE 2700K 84CRI 9.5 both for vegging at 16hrs light 8dark...I have no Real watering schedule maybe once a day using a lil bit of miracle grow in the water. (This is what happens when you go in with someone that knows what their doing and they eliminate themselves from the picture lol) I've been doing lots of research and maybe I need to Mist them 4-5 times a day with distilled water. Maybe the lights are to close and their burning the plants.I have no idea..Any help?The soil is Miracle grow PEAT MOSS, don't ask me why he chose it but he did(no hydro chems).

You are watering too often.

Stop using Miracle Grow with your waterings. Just feed it water for right now.

What kind of soil mixture are you planning to use in your future pots? What kind of soil are they in now?

Are you ready for this and serious about growing it out until the ends? Then think seriously about your plan and where this is going.

What kind of lighting are you going to use?

What kind of soil mixture are you planning to use in your future pots? I actually have no Idea, I plan on doing lots of research My co-grower chose Peat moss for a reason and I completely forgot why.
What kind of soil are they in now? Peat Moss Soil- Miracle Grow.
Are you ready for this and serious about growing it out until the ends?I would not have asked for help if I weren't serious.
What kind of lighting are you going to use? Depends on the situation, I hear several sources saying Compact florescent for vegg. and High pressure sodium for budding.

I'm actually brand new to the line of growers around me so I try to pay attention and take in everything most of the time its like their talking in tongue..

Yes it was awesome, I still don't know how to setup a watering schedule, I guess ill have to read the plant and soil, The feeding thing helped lots also, i was overfeeding hardcore for some reason.

Alright, After 3 days of no watering. They are now starting to wilt down in which case I'm guessing and getting ready to read up that they need to be watered every 1 1/2 to 2 days and fed every 3 water cycles.
