you need a ppm meter too
google "eseasongear"
he sells ones for $18 and they are good
plant that small should prolly get no nutes, maybe 200 PPM (parts per million) would be ok, but since you already over nuted just use plain water for now. Once they grow like 2 more inches start with a 200 ppm nut mix
what u see the ppm go down after a couple days you can begin to add higher ppms.
if the ppm goes up after a day it means you put in too much. so as long as everyday the ppm goes down a lil it means they are eating and hungry, but if the ppm goes up it means they are full ans you are feeding them to much, so add water to dilute
heres the link to the ppm meter. I recomend you buy these nutes also and follow the direction on bottles, but only start with 1/2 strength of what the directions say or it will be way too high. then follow the ppm rules above
now th only thing u need it a HPS 400 watt, you can get one for like $100
