Hey there!

I'm Sal and Iam a first time grower. Really excited and cannot wait to see the end results. I've got a few questions but will ask the one for now and that is..
I've germinated this seedling and it has sprouted (thank f*ck) since I dropped it twice.
Will this still be okay?
And I have it under 1 CFL light? Projecting around 1100 lumens.

Let me know guys :)

Ps. Have a gander at this site, SEED MASTER! So far 100% rate - http://original-ssc.com/

Seedlings don't require much light. You'll want more light once they start growing. Try not to drop or knock over your plants. I do it often because I'm clumsy. Just get them back in the dirt or whatever you're growing in and they shouldn't miss a beat.

Don't drop your girls anymore friend Lol. I have a rule. I don't go in my grow room when I'm stoned Cause I'm clumsy and when I am high I always come up with bad ideas that I thought were great at the time That was years ago when I first started but none the less a good rule for me By the way I often brake rules even the one mentioned above lol. Just be-careful and don't over complicate your grow Good luck

Looks just like it should. When you repot it, bury that stem up to the cotyledon leaves. Also try to get a small fan on it to strengthen the stem as she grows. So far, so good. What kind is it? If it's an auto, put it in a pot big enough to finish her in, don't up-pot autos.

Thanks for the info.
Didn't know that and thinking of it, now, that's a brilliant idea! I'll be sure not to.


Right, got some problems with this plant, I know I'm not giving it enough lumens as I've only got the one (warm white) 23w cfl, I do have 3 6500k 35w bulbs on the way (Amazon) but they won't be here until - Monday coming. Anyways, this plant is 2 and a half weeks, I know it should have developed quicker than this -.- But that could be the result of the light issue.
Please let me know what's up with her .... Btw I haven't used any nutes


Yet.

There's always the odd spot or weird thing here and there. Temps ok? How often do you water, and what are you using? That soil looks both wet & dry at the same time. Usually when it pulls away from the edge of the pot it's pretty dry, but it still looks kind of soggy. I wouldn't be worried, it looks fine now, but you will want to keep on eye on temps, soil moisture and air exchange/movement.
And, of course the more light you can give her and still keep temps reasonable, the better.

Thank you so much!
Bit of reassurance needed there I think since it's my first plant, thanks again.
I'm in East Anglia England so I'm using collected rain water (ph 5.5-6.5)
Im yet to buy a desk fan (which will probably be next week)
Temps ok I think.. Duo think a slightly high temp like 22c' is too high?

And soils is like that cause I thought it looked a bit dry yes so inspashed bit of rain water in there that's all, will fully water tomorrow.


Wi'll keep thread updated

22 is good, maybe even a bit cool for veg, but well within range. I use rain water too, during the warmer months.
You're doing fine, keep it up!
