Avoid using tap water if it has a high amount of chlorine in your area. Go for rain water or distilled instead. Always ph check your water! I was watering my plants with ph 8 water. Now I add some vinegar to bring it down to that nice 6 to 7 range and the babies seem to be much happier!

Sorry just noticed that is eBay Australia! Greetings from a fellow Aussie! In that case keep temps below 30. Keep an eye on overnight temps as we move into winter, inside my house can drop to 10!!! Be sure to keep air blowing over the leaves and humidity down so mold doesn't take hold.

Use a plain soil with no added nutrients.
If you think they need to be watered wait a day then see.
Temps above 85 will stunt growth.
Humidity above 80% is good for seedlings but keep it below this for veg.

4 weeks into my first grow and I've had a few obstacles. My advice would be get a ph meter, so so so many problems originate from ph.

I guess some top soil has compacted down to expose a bit of the roots or perhaps She had to grow like that...
Hahahahaha sooooo it has been about 5 days since noticing the problem and I am still yet to act. Mostly in fear of my own ineptitude. Here is how the current situation looks.

Here are the 4 babies!
21 days old.
Just about to water them to get my first ph reading of the water runoff, ended up being close in the band of 6.9 - 7.2.
One is fighting back from death. Hard to diagnose as all others are doing fine :S
Two grew with really really funky curly stems so I've...
This grow will not be a test of 69w CFL vs 40w LED. This is my first grow so nooooo way I'll be able to control external variables in order to fairly compare cfl and led. So then why do I have 2 set ups??
The reason for 2 different setups is I wanted to see what may be easier to construct and...
