Looks fine, relax you are doing a good job so far. If it needs extra support add more soil, I always purposely leave room for it. Things start off slow and as leaf surface area increases so does growth rate.

Oh
Man such beautiful leaves
What’s the syringe for?

Make a picture every day at the same time. It’s awesome to see the progress from day to day. Especially in that stage. And make sure that the soil is not to wet.

We were all there once. I’m still not fond of seedling or cloning phases, mostly because have a 4 plant limit, so I need things to work like clockwork, those phases just aren’t like that. So for me it’s the most stressful part of any grow.

Keep posting when in doubt, at this stage you can’t be too laid back if things did go south. Plus you don’t need to guess, cannabis growers love to help others have success.

This could be your girl in 16 weeks.

Seedlings are the worst stage. Lol. Every day you go in there and its just depressing. When they get bigger. I get excited to walk in there and look around. See how things look and smell.

Your plant looks short and so thick
Mine has become tall and thin also no leaves except the first set.
It’s probably cause my soil is too wet.
I’ve watering it once a day.
And keep sprinkling every 4:20 with a water spray very mildly on the plant
I think I’ll have to stop with that

Can’t wait
Thank you
Yes so I have few questions.
It’s been a week starting from germination
Which took around 6-7 hours for the seed to sink in a bowl of water then about 24-36 hours for the seed to show signs of germination then I planted it a soil that has cocopeat, organic manure and neem after that I had no light setup except a very small room light after 2 days the plant started growing vertically and had seed leaves after that it’s just been growing vertically I can see the small leaf in the centre it’s still not grown from initial days but I’ve got a light setup today 27w which I plan to use also the environment is very basic I’ve kept the pot near the window in my room letting the sun hit it as much as possible the environment in my area is dry and cool

Yea… that is too much water I would say. Cannabis doesn’t grow in swamps usually. I would make sure, that the sold can dry a little bit now. So no water for the next 3 days. And what is your light situation? Is there enough? Because if not, Plant’s start to “spargel”. Then they grow thin and tall because they try desperately to come closer to the light source.

Thank you Noted no water
So lights situation got better today not the best but working on it to make it the best.
So I have a box with two led strips which throws white light and three poles with led lights with blue or red spectrum or both which colour should I keep? Blue or red? around 27w I was dependent on sun light in the start.

To be honest, that is also my first indoor grow. So I’m not an expert and I hope someone else will give his opinion about your grow.

First of all there is no better grow light than the Sun. All the Plants on the Planet has evolved to match the light spectrum of our Sun. So giving your Planet some Sun ray’s is a good thing!

I grow only with a full spectrum LED and it is going well so far. But in general you are right blue light for vegetation red light for Flowering.

There are PPFD meter app’s to check the Protonen output of your light. You might should check that… it should show you a Number between 200 and 600 PPFD.

Good luck and be patient! :v::blush::green_heart:

A couple of things.

Take a picture or two every day around the same time with white light. Do this as long as you have a lot of questions. Also log everything you’ve done best you can. This will greatly aid those trying to help you.

If it’s an option for you go with cloth pots when move to a larger container. They reduce the chances of over water and auto prune roots. Best of all they’re cheap.

I’m a better living through chemistry kind of guy so the organic growing aspects is not something I know much about. Right now in the grow my soil would be nutrient free with just water and Ph 6. I start feeding 1/4 strength once the 2nd set of leaves starts, not counting the starter leaves. I go up 1/4 strength about every week until full strength. At that point the plant is vegging until I flip it, basically until my flower room empty again.

I like those Air Pot’s even more. They do the same for the roots and are more reusable.

I just thought about buying a 50$ time lapse cam for my grow room. To watch my Plants growing and to see the moment I messed something up… I might open up a thread about that… :blush:

I like my handles, and they work well with auto pot’s aka self water base.

FYI I’ve yet to replace a fabric pot their durability vastly exceeded my expectations. I only started using them two years ago. Aside from stitching fading all mine are still in great shape, as for brand whatever was cheapest.
