Should I be worried?

Okay this is my first grow, it's about Day 5 since planting but it hasn't changed since about day 2. I've seen time lapse videos where peoples plants have grown a lot by day 5. I know different strains take longer than others but just to make sure, is my plant healthy? Got it under an 18W CFL and keeping the soil moist. Should I be doing anything else to help it grow? NO NUTES of course. Just wondering if I should be worried it's still this small

no , you shouldn't be worried yet...................add more light if you want faster growth rates

They do most of their growing underground at this stage.. A 1" plant has 2"+ of roots..

Oh ok, explains a lot, thanks for your help

18w cfl is just too small buddy try and get a 70 or 150w hps light. The security lights on the sides of buildings are 70w hps and can get them at the hardware store. But none the less lookin good just have patience

Good lighting is your friend. Cfl's are not good lighting. Especially when you have only one tiny one.

I would switch to using these. Much much stronger than your cfl. Plus with led bulbs they should last you 5 years at least.

More. By the time it actually stands up and inch tall it can have roots 6-7 inches long.

I agree though. Nothing to worry about.

Edit. Lol. I see the + now.
