Hello y'all, finally decided to venture into my first grow after getting inspired here on the forums. You guys are an amazing group of people, nowhere near as judgmental as other forums seemed to be, which is why I joined this one. 
With that said, one belief I've reinforced here is that I don't care how much I yield, my first priority is a healthy plant that can produce quality herbs.
Here's the guts of the op:
What strain is it?
Auto Shark, Tutankhamon, Critical Super Silver Haze, 3 Unknown Bag Seeds and 2 Sleestack Skunk Regular Seeds I got free with my order of the first three mentioned seeds from Herbies, which by the way ROCKS!!! I got my order in 5 days.
Is it Indica, Sativa or Hybrid? What percentages?
Auto Shark= Indica (Super Skunk x Northern Lights)
Tutankhamon = Sativa (Ak-47 selected phenotype)
Critical Super Silver Haze = 70% Sativa Dominant (Super Silver Haze x Critical+)
Sleestack Skunk =
I'm not sure at all what the bag seeds are other than the fact that I'm about 80% sure all the seeds are top shelf strains from the shop I go to, I only go to one.
Is it in Veg or Flower stage? All are in the Veg stage
If in Veg... For how long? Pre-soaked the seeds 8/26, Germ'd two days and were placed in soil on 08/29/14
Indoor or outdoor? Indoor
Soil or Hydro? Soil, Fox Farms Soil - Ocean Forest
If soil... what is in your mix? So far only the Fox Farms soil
If soil... What size pot? Regular party cups
Size of light? CFLs
x4 23w 6500k
x4 20w 2700k
Is it aircooled?
The grow room area is but not the light fixture I made. I have a fan in there meant to work inside vents rated at 60cfm I believe.
Temp of Room/cab?
This is where I've struggled, my readings fluctuated after the first 3 days as the heat inside there built up I suppose. Here are the reading from the Acu-Rite device:
Temp: 77 to 95 F
Humidity: 16% to 30%
RH of Room/cab?
PH of media or res? my water pH is now at pretty much a flat 7 according to my pH kit and my run off is at about 6.5 to 6.8
Any Pests ? So far nothing that I can see.
How often are you watering? Every 2-3 days, once the top inch feels dry and crusty.
Type and strength of ferts used? So far just soil and the pure water pH'd at 6.7 to 7
I've written in a journal every few days on my findings and nothing much eventful except the following points:
1) I properly pH'd the water for the seedlings first watering, however, I STUPIDLY did not pH my water for 3 watering cycles after and today when I was looking at them, Day 15 since pre-soaked, I pH'd my distilled water and BAM the pH was at 6! So I went ahead and corrected that and made myself enough to have 3 gallons of properly pH'd water as my reservoir for my next waterings. I apologized to my girls, especially two of them which greatly suffered for it, the Auto Shark and the Sleestack Skunk Regular seed 2, the latter of which isn't pictured, but I'll get pics up shortly after to get feedback on it as it's the one that looks in the worst shape or so my untrained eyes seem to think.
2) My grow area is VERY dry and hot. I don't have any type of exhaust set up yet and am on Day 15 since the seeds were pre-soaked. This weekend I get paid and plan to purchase the remaining items on my list.
Goals of my grow:
1- Absorb the abundance of information and begin putting it all together into one flowing river so to speak
2- Keep it stealth above all costs, light/sound/smell all contained.
3- Grow a healthy plant that produces quality herb, with yield amount the last of the requirements.
Now for pictures: (Day count started from the day I put the seeds in the shot glass to pre-soak them)
