2700 k will make her stretch more cuz its in the red spectrum. i hope u put a drainage hole in the bottom of the cup. fill her till u can feel weight in the cup. then u water again only when u feel the cup is light. i would go with 18/6 light

ur gunna need at least 200 watt on each for veg then ur gunna need more when u go to flower on each. its gunna b a hassle.. if u get serious about growing may wanna look into mh/hps lights eventually... and if ur gunna be keeping it in the red cup for its entire life i would veg maybe like 2-3 weeks then go to flower.

I dont really understand why u would wanna grow in cups no offence but its stupid u will decrease yield dramatically cause they will be root bound in like 1 and a half weeks and if ur gonna transfer bigger pot later on this will just cause stress dont worry bout light growin in a tiny cup will fck em up no matter how much light u give it

Well since u seem serious get some perlite. seed raisin mix is fine but mix it with perlite at about a 50/50 mix u shouldn't need any nut(fertilizer) for a few week.
do u have a budget? And if so about how much u wanna spend and get rid of the foil white reflects the most light foils also create hot spots and when somebody replys to you goto bottom of there post and hit reply that way ppl will know u have replyed to them

No disrespect but have you grown in a solo cup? I just finished an experiment sea of green with solo cups. Over 150 solo cups side by side with 50 6x6 pots. Some of the solo cups yielded more than the 6x6x8 pots. Would I do it again? No. Simply because its a bitch to water and PM hit which even harder to treat with all those plants. I averaged about 7 grams a solo cup. Which is pretty good considering how packed in they where. I used 3 1k lights in a 10x10 room the whole room wasn't used (I Also had some larger plants in 5 gallon buckets under one of the lights.) To say its stupid is a little rough. I will admit its defiantly not ideal. Who knows maybe the solo cup grow will peak his interest into moving on to bigger and better things.

It varies on strain and temperature.....But normally,at room temp,about a week to pop above the soil.I personally germ on top of the Directv box(for the warmth) with a moist paper towel till the seed comes completely out of the shell then carefully plant it down to the leaves.GL
