AK 48 CFL Stealth Grow, First Grow, Lots of HQ Pics. Help me Aquire

First grow here! Super Pumped. Done countless hours of research over the past few years, always been interested in the idea, but never had an effective place to set up for a good grow. But now I do, so here we go!!

I Initially began this grow on Midnight January 1, 2014, BUT using the paper towel method my 3 Auto Easyryder Fems failed to germinate, so i trashed them, and used the shot glass method to germinate 5 Regular seeds. All Popped.

Light: Initially 2 26 watt 6500k, and 2 26 watt 2600K. Now: 5 26w 2600k, and 1 6500K.
Medium: Miracle Grow Seed Starter (will use for entire grow, very little nutes so i figured it'll work)
Nutrients: General Hydroponics Gro, Bloom, Micro
Box: Old 2 drawer file cabinet, gutted and refinished.
Container: Solo cup (transplanting to be determined)
Temperature: 60-80F (work in Progress)

Info: Initially let the plants have 24 hours of light for a week. Then switched over to 12/12 when I upgraded to 6 Lights on January 17, 2014.

I Put the shot glass under the mug next to a vent to keep proper germination temperature.

Back again. Today is January 22, 2014. I gave the babies a watering with the nutrients for the second time. The first time was right before the 12/12 switch and that was 1/4 teaspoon of Gro, Micro, and Flower (GH). 2 days ago i used 1/2 teaspoon of all three again. (They loved it). ALSO i must say that i let my soil get very dry before watering. If i choose to keep my plants in the cups, then i want them to stretch and fill that cup as soon as possible, plus i check my plants A LOT. I like plants. Its cool to grow something from a seed. ANYWAY :bigjoint: ... here are some pics. Day 16?

OH and see the burns on the big plant? this happened early on when the leaves just developed. Only happened on this plant, I'm not sure how it happened, maybe there was a nutrient ball right where the seed was developing. Anyway i think it is fine, no further marks so seems like a fluke. Any Knowledge?

Pics: Day 15?
