PC Grow box, hydroponic, first grow, Lowrider, NEED TIPS

So i purchased a stealth pc grow box from Mrgrowbox on myspace. I was wayy too lazy to buy everything myself and put it together. I ordered my 10 original lowrider seeds from drchronic and have popped 2 seeds in a wet paper towel inside a plastic bag. Which seemed to work decently well. Anyway i put the seeds in two small plastic cups with soil to get them started. I've been watering them with 2/3 pure spring water and 1/3 mixed water and liquid seaweed (not much LS in this 1/3) I'm not sure if the liquid seaweed will do much right now but i figured it's worth a shot.

I'm not quite sure when i need to transplant these plants from the soil to the hydroton. Or if i should move the plants closer to the lights. I'm running 24 hours of light a day. I've read lowrider plants like that. But here are the pics. the one plant is what i have so far. this about 3 days in soil. I'm pretty sure the other one isn't gong to grow at all, i've forgotten to water that one a few times and the soil was bone dry when i got to it. =[
the cup isn't as deep as the other one so it dries out faster. Also, i'm just hoping these plants will be female. as i don't have room to grow 10 plants at once to pick out the males.

TIPS WELCOME

18/6 is whats best. 77 days from seed to scissors. Put into your final pot once its about 1 week old. Start a grow nute at 1/4 strength at week 2 and 3 then bloom nutes weeks 4-8 then plain water weeks 9 & 10. I threw in some molassas and water every once in a while too. 1 tablespoon per gal of water.

any advice on transferring it to the hydroton? how do i do it without damaging the plant? oh and i'm just doing this one for now. to see how it goes. so far i'm extremely interested in just the challenge of growing good weed.

Sorry no advise as I am new here and doing a similar grow myself. Did you start them in cubes or put them into the soil directly?

i started them in a wet paper towel and then moved them into a small cup of soil with some water and 1/3 a solution of liquid seaweed and spring water.

do you have a journal?

OKay so this morning i decided it's time to get the second plant to star. I used a bigger cup this time and i left one of the old seeds in there.. idk what'll happen with that but it's worth a shot. I put a new seeds in (didn't bother germinating in the towel) and water it pretty good. we'll see how it goes.

Okay so i transplanted the first seedling from soil to the hydroton pebbles. I have liquid seaweed mixed with tap water in the res. The tiny leaves are starting to curl a bit and turn yellow. I'm pretty sure it's because i have yet to receive my nutes or ph control kit. I read once that liquid seaweed works for the beginning of life, but now i'm starting to think that's a bunch of BS. anyone know?

here is a pic of the baby. I figure it should be a lot bigger by now also. Obviously i'm doing something wrong.

Okay so i haven't updated this thing very much. I've been real busy with work and what not. But i ordered dutch masters advance grow. I onyl ordered the A sets for grow/flower! Is it possible to get a good yield with only the A sets? As you can see i need to adjust the pH a little more often as the nds of the leaves are turning yellow when i don't.

here are the pics.

The one of the left is just starting and the one on the right has been growing since the start of this thread. Keep in mind all i had in the solution was liquid seaweed and i had never adjusted the pH until my kit came in the mail. SUGGESTIONS PLEASE.

That's my plant as of now. You can see the bud do look great. The leaves are curling though. What makes this happen? And can a plant be grown fine with only the "A" set of nutrients?
