hey thx for the reply. yeah i water maybe 2x's a week, i always feel the need to water more because the soil gets and looks really dry... so am i not giving enough water? if thats the problem i would be happy cuz i can fix that

anyone else to verify?

Hi,

Couple of tips to keep your new baby healthy. Soil looks a little rough, when you pot up try to get a good quality soil and add perlite to let the roots breath. Try just spraying the seedling for the first week or so as its so easy to overwater and kill it, to me it looks a touch overwatered NOT underwatered. Keep the soil just moist at this stage and it will pull round. Dont feed with anything at this stage either, just let it put that taproot down.

Hope this helps, very best of luck. Keep us updated and shout if you need help

What kind of soil is that? Does it have nutrients in it? Why does it look like there's tree bark in there? You are almost certainly going to develope root problems. Get some better soil (fox farms is good) or plain ol' soil and add some vermiculite and perlite to allow oxygen to get to the roots. Other than that it looks like you are doing fine.

thx guys for chiming in, currently im using MiracleGro Organic Choice PottingMix. is this an ok medium? i wont be able to find any foxfarm where i live. i have a home depot and wallmart close by. i would like to grab the best materials as i can from these stores can anyone tell me what they used from either one or both stores.

this prlite you guys speak of.. how does it look, and when you say mix it in with the soil do i like physically mix it up with my hand or anything of that nature? like i said i really new to growing ANYTHING sorry if im beyond noob status.... im learning

Lots of people have had success with MG soil, lots of had failures. I would go out and get as plain a potting soil as you can and add vermiculite and/or perlite. Look in L&G @ The Home Depot and ask an associate if you are unsure, they know what it is.

I don't like soils that have the nutes in them already, I guess that's just me. I like plain ol' soil and I'll deal with the nutes. Then go get yourself some Fox Farms Grow Big for Veg and Bloom Big for flower.

Good luck, read the Grow FAQ it has a ton of information that will help you in your endeavors.
