Yeah the soil i have isnt worth a damn but its growing lol am i right ir wrong that its growing is all that matters? Or can it affect yield, potency, or something of the sort? Its just regular potting soil from walmart.

Is that soil full of wood chips or is that just mulch? If its full of chips you will have a hard time growing. Wood robs N from the soil as it rots.

The fim looks right. Really cant do it wrong. If you do its just a topping.

Never mind. I just read its mulch.

Heres ingredients in the soil i have plz let me know what all bad things it contains plz if you dont mind:
"Composted forrest products, processed pine bark, canadian sphagnum peat moss, reed sedge peat, sand and/or composted rice hulls, perlite and limestone." Says its ideal for re-potting plants (transplanting)

well we wont know till you let it grow out some but those kinds of soil arent the best for cannabis
The large wood chunks are stress on the roots and without perlite your soil is gonna have poor drainage i would suggest saving up 15-20 bucks and getting a good bag of soil. Roots organics, FF Happy Frog, or and soil that doesn't have a lot of nutrients so you dont burn your little guy.
I believe that your the first and best thing you can do for you cannabis is give it the best medium possible!

Sounds like the soil will work. Should almost be like using a soilless mix so it will need nutes eventually. What are you using for nutes? A light feeding of a bit of everything a plant needs wouldn't hurt. Along the lines of less than 1/4 strength.

It's looking pretty healthy now so there's no rush I don't think. :)

The FIM looks good in that closeup. I try to get the outer little fan leaves out of the way as they'll grow in all chopped off but other than looks it doesn't hurt a bit and they'll be coming off later anyway.

Like NuggODank said above you should line up some decent soil by the time it's ready to repot again in a month or so if things go OK.

:peace:

Hard to see, but 2 new growth spots have shot out about an inch under the fim point, the new growth is about 1/4 inch tall. Call me crazy but shes already throwing off an odor. Smells like mint almost but it smells like a fresh growing pot plant. (Like one you smell across a field on a foggy amd dewey morning)Screenshot_20161227-090822.png 20161227_083337.jpg
