NOOB GROWER.
I’m growing a bag seed. I know, I know. But gotta start somewhere right.

Asking if my lil seedling is looking heathy for its age and if I can tell what I need to change in its environment. I’ve been spraying it 1-2 times once a day if needed. And it’s on a 18/6 light cycle as of today.

Using a 45wt panel led.
Growing in a 24/24/48 tent.
No fans or humidifier yet.
Strain: lemon crack.
Soil: promix premium potting soil.
Feed: compost soil (later)

It is a seedling, that is the best way to start, lol! Do you have a humidifier, it would be happier being in a more humid environment. What is your rh in your tent/room? Have you thought of coming? Could even cut the bottom off a 2 liter bottle and mist the inside for a week

Also, that is a very small cup, I would move it to atleast a solo cup

Check my pfp it’s got all my grow information. But yes I’m planning to invest in a humidifier. Currently I’m using a bottle of a water cut in half. though the 2 litre idea is great. I’ve been misting it and praying it at the same time to Keep some moisture contained. Plan to gradually buy things as it progresses. Due to budget.

Thanks. I’ll do that. Any tips for transplanting.

Honestly, dry back and go gentle but fast is the best advice I could give. Letting the media be dry will keep it together. I'd fill up the solo cup with your promix and then put your current cup in it to create like a hole to place her in. The gently press along the sides of your cup to slide her out. One gentle motion, and if the dirt starts to break up just plant her in vest you can and cover her up. All we can do really. Make sure to have plenty of drainage holes. Fully soak the cup after transplant with 1 shot glass full of water, then let it dry back from the sides and let the top 1/2 inch get dry. Then give it another shot glass. Hope that helps

Feel free to ask any thing. I'm still pretty new to growing as well, but have learned alot from the helpful vets here on the farm. This is a great place to learn and get advice. Good luck on your grow!

Dont waste your time with bag seed. Dedicate 3-4 months of your life to a hermie plant

If money is an issue you can send me
A self addressed envelope with postage and i’ll send you a couple, either photos or autos

Insufficient lighting is causing that seedling to produce a hormone that triggers rapid cell elongation in the stem in an effort to reach the light.
It does this at the expense of your tap root which isn't receiving the energy that it needs. Throw in a wet instead of moist environment, a somewhat miniscule container and the plant isn't going to reach near it's full potential. I know this because I've been there, done that.

Do you have the photone app? You can check the ppfd for light coverage so that you can hang the light at the correct distance

Light is not good for roots, slide into another cup or wrap with duct tape

I don’t but I’ll check it out and get into it.

2Water · Sep 10, 2023

The app has some pretty good tutorials, and tons of info on the boards regarding proper light intensity. I haven't watched this video, but heres a quick video I found
