Any Input first grow

Well i got a few seeds from a sack i had and figure id see what would happened. germinated the seeds and one went. As of right now im using the cfl attached with the light fixture attached. A 100% closet grow and right now i have it on 24/0 light and just water. the plant is 4 days old out of the dirt. I bought some sugar peak vegatative nutes but not started them yet. im using some osh potting soil. Any input or tips or anything is welcome and im building a small grow box right now. THANX

if you could provide the measurements of your box, i could help you pick out what you should/need for it to maximize production

...good lil' start there...I'd let the little one grow a couple more weeks before transplanting. Why only one seedling? It could trun out to be a male.

get more CFL's mate .. that 20w( sais on the box 100w equivilant , so it should be about 20w for real) cfl u got , wont be enough .
ull need about 100w for one plant .
keep that light at about 2-3 inches above the top of the plant .


please +rep to who ever helped u .

i agree, more light is needed and also you should put your light(s) closer to the baby so that it doesnt stretch towards the light too much

if its potting soil i would NOT add any nutes at all, even after u transplant them into larger pots with new soil i'd give it a week or two b4 i even thought of nutes. ur potting soil has all the shit u need in it to deal with seeds.

its gonna be 4ft tall and 2ft wide. i only got the one plant.


also i had like seven seeds i germinated all of them at the same time and after 2-3 days this is the only one that hatched and i left the others for a another 2-3 and nothin so i ran wit dis one

as of today this is how it looks. Im thinkin the droopyness isnt normal am i correct is is from not enough light. the soil is still moist from watering yesterday so im not watering it. Am I just a paranoid first timer that needs to be patient??????

shit sorry, i scrolled up, your only using one cfl? i would add another and put them 1-3 inches from your plant

how i have it now. there is two of the bulbs posted above on it about 1.5 inch away from it

ur grow looks like mine did, ur stalk is far too thin, i buried( on advice)about two inch of my stalk with more potting soil, lowered my light and got a fan on them. theyre goin great. i'd do that and see what hapens. its like ur leafs want more feed than ur lil skinny stalk can give them maybe.

that should be a good amount of light for one plant, and 1.5 is a good distance

just added some soil like u said will wait a few days and update

is it normal for the plant to bend and grow towards the light??????????

yep, thats why you should keep your lights as close as you can without burning your plants

yeaaa i agree.. you should bury some of the stem with some more soil.. and if its bending a little bit. try to find a toothpick or something like that and stick it in the dirt next to it to try and hold it up.. do you have any kind of reflective material in your box.. that would help since you only have the two lights.. its still young and the stems still growing.. i think it will strengthen up and be fine.

i havent had a chance to get some mylar so right now im usin tin foil but i rotated the plant 180* so its bending away from the light. bout to get somethin to stand it up against tho. thanx all for your help

ditto on the no nutes right now!!!!

Don't burn it before it has a chance.

just started my first grow, kinda like yours, from what i read 1.5 in maybe a lil close, easy way to check is put a thermometer by the plant. anywhere between 65-82 seems to be acceptable. check out my grow https://www.rollitup.org/newbie-central/281800-12-12-seed-closet-grow.html
