Thanks King, I was researching heavily last night and decided to get the Vortex 4" inline. I figure I could muffle the noise with an insulated duct.

Day 10
Babies look alright, I noticed like a dimple on one of the plant leaves, not sure what it means. When would be a good time to transplant these from solo cups into 1 gallon pots?
20/4 schedule.

When the plant as about the same height as the cup. If you have small drain holes in the cups, the roots will poke out of them, and that's a good indicator as well.

Thanks man, I'm looking at just going straight from solo to 5 gallon Smart Pots due to cost. And maybe add some perlite and vermiculite to it too.
Im having this dilema where the leaves in the solo cup are touching the inside of the cup and kinda bending inwards. I have these plants literally like 1 to 1.5 inches away from the CFLs. The stem doesn't seem to grow much. Should I raise the distance of the light to the plant a couple of inches to make the plant grow higher to get the light?

I would keep the lights low to minimize stretch, and keep the plants shorter, but that's just me, I have a small space. Also, it is better for root development to transplant a couple of times, unless it is an auto strain, so I would go from the cup to a 1 gallon, then to a 5 gallon. I'm sure it will be fine if you go to a 5 gallon next, and some people plant the seeds directly into the final container from the start. In the end, it's all about what works for you, and how you deal with the issues, every grower screws up from time to time.

Dank I took your advice and got some 1 or 2 gallon pots. Not sure.
Today when I got home, I was checking out my plants and lifting to see the holes and I noticed a white root sticking out of 2 of the 3 plants. So I decided it was time to transplant them.
So I drilled a couple more holes under the pots of extra drainage and cleaned them with dish-washing soap and gave it a good rinse. I broke up the Ocean Forest soil with my hands, giving it some air with each handful.
I was kinda freaking out when the soil started to fall apart and exposing more of the stem. But I crumpled the bottom of the solo cup and eventually it came out in one block. I sprinkled some water on the new soil but not alot. I was shocked to see the root mass from just a small tiny plant and was glad I transplanted today.
Got all three done but did not water them. I watered them a day ago. Should I be watering it now?

when i transplant i always water the new and old soil well with pH adjusted water only.

Yep King, im glad I had some leftover ph 6.5 water in my reservoir, poured only a little for each pot.
Day 13
Plant 1 - Lots of bushy growth
Plant 2
Plant 3 - must be related to plant 2, they look alike
My Fox Farms trio is coming in tommorrow, is it too early (2 weeks from planting) to feed them some nutes?

Thanks man Im just counting down the days!
I would wait until your plants are 4-5 inches tall and have 5 nodes growing before introducing 1/4 strength nutrients to them.

Day 15
Plants are looking good and growing lots of leaves.
I have an window mounted ac unit in the living room which is pretty far from the intake to my closet door. I leave it on most of the time to keep temps down. Without it on, I usually get 84 - 86 degrees which I cringe sometimes. With it on I get a steady 81-82 degrees. I was looking at some ways to cool down the room on budget and found just laying trays of water around.
I also had low humidity like 30-40% range. So I since yesterday I been placing two trays of cold water and a gallon jug around the plants. I got a 3 degrees constant temp DROP!
Are those pistils on the plant there? not sure

those are the shoots for branches coming of the main stem, you will not see pistils until your plant is either sexually mature or is in flower.
the male and female cannabis plant
the female pre flower
female flower maturation

Don't see any pistils yet, they will look like white hairs, and not long long after they appear, they will be all over the plant.

Thanks guys, im gonna watch out for them.
Yesterday, I did a watering for the girls and I believe I might have over-watered it. After say 2 hours of watering it, I found the saucer under the pots to be half full with water. I was like o shit, because I never really over-watered before.
And today, after the plants 4 hours of darkness, two of them are not looking so good. I see lot more brown tips then yesterday.
This is the only plant with yellowing cotyledons. Could it be this plant is losing its nutrients?
This was my most healthiest looking one and its starting to get a lil yellow brown.
Temps has been 77-79 F. Humidity last night ranged from 41-71%
No nutes have been added to it yet. Could it have been me over-watering it?

make sure you do not let your plants sit in saucers with water in them or it will kill their roots. plants loosing cotyledon leaves is normal. what size pots are you using for your plants? it looks like your plants are ready to introduce 1/4 strength nutrients to them.

I believe they are 1/2 gallon pots. I had some tap water sitting around in a gallon jug and I just flushed it out the sickest one so far. I tilted the pot on all sides to let all the water drain off.
Hopefully the baby recovers.
The Fox Farms trio came in today! But I think ill wait for it to recover before I add any nutes.
