with perlite, most definitely. A good watering will allow the perlite to float about, and settle in place with minimal harm to root structures.

re: First Time Grow Closet - CFL & HID - 3 Plants - Check Me Out!
well sorry for the shitty photos. the light wouldnt let me get close ups of the smaller willy wonka.. tonight we had as issue big time. accidently dropped the small willy wonka from a high distance and it just splattered everywhere.. the roots where still in a small ball but i had to put her back into the small cup and then into the 5 gallon bucket..

here is what we did though..
mixed perlite and fox farms ocean forest 60/40 in 5 gallon bucket with 10 tbsp of dolemite lime. then i placed the small disposable pot into the soil and covered her up.. should i water right away with 100ml of water?? also the bigger of the willy wonkas has a small yellow tip.. what could this indicate?

Im sure she'll be fine my friend. I've knocked a few youngins around, a couple off a shed roof once, just give them some love and they'll rebound.
One thing I noticed, it might just be the camera, but it looks as if you're running mostly warm(2500k-ish) CFL bulbs instead of daylight (6500k-ish) During Vegetative growth, the plant will make better use of the blue spectrum. (the daylight 600k cfls)

I would water it.
As for the bigger willy Wonka with the small yellow tip, it looks like the onset of nutrient burn. Leave it be, continue to monitor it.
If it advances, or more yellowing occurs, then take action.

I personally run GLR 12 on 5.5 off 1 on 5.5off.
But between 24/0 and 18/6 I'd go with 18/6 in order to give your plants time to rest.
As for the lighting situation, I understand man Im a disabled vet on a fixed income. But IF you can get them, Id highly suggest it.
The 6500k bulbs are better for veg growth, the 2500k is better for flowering growth.
your plants will grow no matter what, but they will take much longer to grow to any considerable size.
Ive hit dollar stores, cramazon, fleabay, the works... You can find them pretty cheap if you look hard enough.
Worst case scenario, Ill scrape a few bucks together and send you some man.

good luck on the search,
as for medical;I use it for my back and PTSD. Better than vicodin and anti-psychotics any day of the week.
Cheers brother, hope you and yours have a splendid holiday season!

I would go 18/6 and get a couple more of the cool (6500k) daylight CFL's as opposed to the warm (2700k) daylight CFL's but keep the warm ones for flowering, I used only the cool daylight CFL's for the whole veg, then on the day I thought it was time to flower, I waited for lights out on my timer that night and swapped out all the 6500k's for the 2700k's and changed my timer to 12/12 and within 10 days I saw bud sites, so yeah def go with more 6500 and wait a little while to use the 2700 if that makes sense, keep in mind it wont hurt at all to have some warm(2700k) light at the veg stage, but a predominant 6500k will see a much happier vegging plant from my exp.

I like to water early in the morning as the lights come on, it makes its that much more difficult for pests like fungus gnats to get established, because your medium is already drying on top as the light heats up.

Yeah man I always water at "lights on" that way there is some evaporation occuring, Dude i cant believe shes already straightening out! thats a hella fast recov time, good to see! that soil mix looks really good btw. Go the whole day tomorrow without water (after your lights on watering) and you will notice more growth too! you took the advice on board and it payed off, kudos to you my friend. well done!
