You should take pictures if you have a camera it will allow us to see whats going on. Over watering is a common mistake with new growers. You should mist your seedlings lightly until they have established root systems. As for when to water, stick your finger deep into the pot and see if you feel moisture. If you don't feel moisture and your pot is light, its time to water. I hope this helps :smokebuds:

Another good way to tell if you need to water is lift the pots... if they feel super light and you see the soil is dry water 'em. If you stick your finger in the soil and you feel moisture and when you lift the pot it's still got weight to it... wait until they dry out more. Greenthumper is 100% correct. Over watering is a common newbie mistake. I did it myself. good you got your bro to help you along as well. Pictures would rock though... so we can all help you better.

Blue spectrum is better for vegging your plants and red is for flowering I have grown some non autos with just cfls and they were fine but more blue and red spectrum helps a lot
