3 weeks sounds good, but im sure you can always adjust your schedule down the road if you needed to....good luck with that wonderful selection

heh, no worries.
What size pots next? erm, haven't thought that far ahead! Theres a garden centre down the road so I'll just pick some up when I need them.
I've got some 3 gallon (11 litre) pots, but think its too big a step from the tiny ones they're in at the moment (approx 1/2 litre).

I found this on another site, sounds pretty good to me.
" Light Cycles
The dark cycle is very inportant to palnts. Respiration (this is when plants are making energy from sugar to oxygen) Continues in dark but at a much slower pace, almost independent of available oxygen because the leaves are not making oxygen in the dark.
In the dark there is a shift from leaf production to root production as the leaves transfer excess energy down to the branches and roots. Therefore, some dark time allows for better root structures. The "Experimental Root Growth 10 Days After Cutting" graph on page 33 shows that giving plants a 24-hour light cycle is not the way to supercharge growth"
This is from "How to supercharge your garden" With the graph on page 33 this follows...
"Light period for cuttings
Plants have a free running internal bio-rhythm of 21-27 hours. In this rhythm, they need dark time. Cuttings have a built in daily rhythm (age also) that they inherit from their parent. Cuttings will root better with a 6 hours to 8 hourdark period because this is the main time when leaves and the stems transfer energy down to the root zone for storage and growth."
The chart has hours of light per day on the bottom, and length of roots in millimeters.
-@ 4hours of light the roots after ten days were only 22mm long
-@ 8 hours of light after 10 days the roots were 25 mm long
-@12 hours of light we shoot up to 40mm long
-@16 hours it peaks at 50mm
-@20 hours it drops down to 37mm
-@ 24 hours it drops down to 29mm
There is also a shitload of info regarding root to yeild ratio vs veg to yield ratio, and draws the conclusion that at the end of the experiments the root to yield ratio was higher

thats definitely helped with the light cycles, but i always start mine off at 18/6, what does that mean for my plants? It's not the best but not bad? Doesn't matter really I'm gonna start flowering in 1 week anyway 
good luck sammet looking good sofar, all your little girls seem to be fit and healthy, and positively predictible, so i foresee a good future!! keep respecting them
PEACE

I'm sure its fine mate.
Cheers for the kudos but unfortunately one of the masterkush didn't make it through the night. It was lagging behind the others too and found it whilted and dead on the soil this morning.
All the others are going strong are approaching 2" tall now. Gonna switch them into 18/6 tonight, then I'm away for the weekend so I'll have to get my plant sitter in to water them lol
Other than that one, they all seem pretty vigorous to me and their first set of serrated leaves are plumping up nicely. More photos after the weekend!

Day 4 vegging seedlings!
Day 4 vegging seedlings!
Alright guys? (enjoy the ride organic farmer)
Been away for the weekend, (picked up some quality green too) so had a plant sitter round to water the seedlings.
Man, are these guys going like the clappers! Been away two days and they've got their 2nd pair of serrated leaves coming out. These are certainly the most vigorous seeds I've grown. They're each about 3" by now.
I've got an oscillating fan in the back behind them, good to get their stem strength up. Temps at 75.5f (as it has been since sorting my heat issue), Relative Humidity still at 40%.
The first seedling - strawberry cough (calling her April)
All the Coughs
All the Twilights
All the Kushes
At the moment, they're getting their first taste of darkness - just switched into 18/6 and tucked them into bed. Sorry for the poor photos, they're from my phone (can't find my camera). All the seedlings are looking really healthy and their leaves are nice and green, no spots or yellowing so looks like the soil/pH is on track.
I just bought some epsom salts and iron sulphate for the future, I always seem to get a Mg deficiency, and I intend to be one step ahead this time! Might give them a really weak dose of nutes tomorrow, certainly a small amout of the alg-a-mic.
I've got a job interview tomorrow (even got a new suit)
I'll let you know how I get on.
Peace
