Hey everyone I'm new to the forum so I appreciate any and all comments. This is a picture of my newly sprouted bagseed plant. It is in phosphorous-enriched soil with a bottom of medium-sized river pebbles. It is under 2x40W Philips Plant and Aquarium flouros. What do you guys think? It's been in soil for only 2 days and already sprouted. I put it under 24 hr lighting today and watered it approx. 100 mL of distilled water. Any tips, suggestions, observations? Thanks.
Be sure to monitor pH. Dirt farming 101: When you transplant that seedling (after the root mass forms) watch your soilerlite ratio. Your mix could benefit from a tad more perlite/pumice rather than river rocks. I have grown with as much as 50:50. Tap water is not always a bad thing to use for your MJ plants. Knowing what is in your water is essential. Your area's ground water company should have that information (or at least a way to test it for you at the tap) and make it available upon your request.
yes put your light real close to it about 1 to 2 inches away from it and don't over water it ! water once or twice a week depending on how wet the soil looks do not try to drown the little feller at that age they don't consume much water like a big plant will good luck Dan

What is perlite? I tried to look for some info on it, but I'm still a bit unsure. Thankfully this is only a practice plant. Next time I can note that.
pearlite is those little white balls in your soil, it keeps the soil from getting packed down. u need to watch out for hermies with bag seed. i grew bag seed my first grow and it turned out good, but i did have hermies, just keep and eye out for any balls.
yeah...all 3 of my plants just sprouted, but i have to get some T-5's before they die...but i can't get to the store...im trying my hardest, but i can't find a way to home depot, but anyways...yeah my friend tried growing one plant and it sprouted, it grew its starters leaves( 4 of them) and it just shriveled up and died, im thinking it was too much water, and i think he was doin it wrong, i just dont mine to end up like that...?
