Def try to get a good soil. Most backyard soil is full of rocks and drains horribly. Trust me I tried my first time. And at this stage of its life it dont have the roots to drink up as much as you're giving it . let it dry out a bit before watering. A misting every now and then would work at this point. And as far as pots. I got from a little seedling cup and once that fills out with roots I transplant to a 1-3 gallon. Then a 5-7 gallon. And this run I am finishing in a 15 gallon and a 20-25 gallon pot. But thats just me.some Ppl on here can grow in a solo cup so its all preference and what not.

It actually pull only 104w is this bright enough ?
For seedlings it's fine. Not so much when they get over a couple of weeks old though.

I have an extra 4 cfl lights each at 26 watts will this setup be decent ?
I never go by plant count or footprint per plant. I go by the number of square feet I'll be using in total. In my 4x4' tent, I keep four plants in there. However, I've done runs where I've had 24 plants in a 2x4' tent.
So for every four square feet of floor space, I like 1000W of light (with a minimum of 600W). Note I'm talking about true watts drawn here. That's flower. In veg, I use 400W for 2x4' tents.
