Making an attempt at a small grow on the cheap , I am reading everything I can but I cant bring myself to drop the funds on the high dollar equipment , I am reading everything I can, but still have some basic questions, I'm in a 4×4×6 foot space temp I keep between 70 and 80 , fan going 24 hours , ran 24 light for 2 weeks now at 18-6 , happy frog soil mixed with some coco , I use water with a ph of approx 6.5 to water with , not sure on humidity , useing a led white strip light and a cheap grow light with another cheap light on the way , I am working on getting them more co2 , I have some plants I think are doing good (my opinion) but some that I must if overwatered or somehow stunted , Is a slow or stunted plant worth the space and time ? Will try to add photos and any advice is welcomed, if I'm doing something wrong please I wanna know , also had some discoloration on the second set of leaves but seems to have stopped and isnt showing up on new growth , better plants are 2 1\2 inches tall and have 4 set of leaves but the others are small and dont seem worth the time , not the best pic but I cant find anything that looks like the discoloration on the leaf it's just a light green , possibly transplant stress? They are all bag seeds so but they are 3gg4 1 platinum cookies and I think the rest are pink panther but not sure, have transplanted taller plants into 1 gallon with one in a 3 gallon, water when soil feels dry as I think I startd with to much water , when is a good time to start fertilizing as I have given no nutrients yet , thanks for any advice
1st attempt at grow any help appreciated

First 
What you call "stunted" may just be genetics. I have had some start small compared to the others and grow to 7 feet. I have had some start strong and die off. Having 3 plants in that small container will effect the size and growth.

They all look pretty good to me. Only thing I see in your post I wonder about is getting co2 ... I don't think you need to worry about co2 while you are working with 'cheap lights' ... well unless your space is air tight or something.
Hey Fp77,
one tip - Don‘t water where the roots are, water where you want the roots to grow, which is the outside perimeter.
Welcome aboard!
