Seeds: 4 White Widow, 2 Random Seed - All Feminized. Just planted the germinated seeds.

Lighting: Just planted the germinated seeds under 4 Fluorescent T12 Tubes. I'm using daylight bulbs (6500K). 24 hour light.

Medium: I started in blue party cups. I'm using a 2/3 Scott's potting soil 1/3 Perlite mixture.

Here is my setup. Any suggestions off the bat?

Thanks, done.

All 6 seeds have broken through the soil by now.

I've been watering in frequent small portions. It seems to minimize the disruption of the seed's orientation, as the soil seems to contract and change shape as I apply the water.

Is more light required? Perhaps the addition of a few CFLs?

Yeah you're fine as far as light goes for a while I'd say.

One of the WW seedlings has very strange white/yellow spots on the cotyledons. These spots are symmetrical on both sides. Normal?

Sorry about quality, I only had my phone on me.

Looks like a burn of some sort. How close are your lights? If not that I'm guessing some nutrients in the soil may have contributed to it.

They are a good 6 inches away from the light, which produces virtually no heat.

Well perhaps its your soil or maybe the seed is just a freak. Do you check your ph levels?
