and so it begins, good luck with your light choice, as it's both an important factor from sprout to flower and a financial outlay if you're not confident between the two you have in mind just ask these guys, they may roll a dozen j's a day but that seems to amplify their knowledge whereas with me it, it, umm
 
she is 4" tall and the main leafs are about a half inch in length currently.
18-6 light schedule not sure if that matters yet or not...
i used some kind of tropical soil that says feed for 6 months... but yeah... from what im reading,

That pot looks to be a little small. What size? With autos you want to be starting them in their forever home. Somewhere between 3-7 gals is a good choice.

did not know this.... k.... its a 6"x6" pot lol.... 3-7gals..... ok.... im way off. this is the pot she germinated from.
 
Its definitely a journey. Im new to growing too but I put in tons of hours educating myself before starting and continue to do so even a few hours ago learned to do something new. You dont need anything fancy to get good results. Im happy to help however I can. Yes from the time the seed shell came of the sprout shes about 2 hours into day 8.

Definately your light and if you had the right kind then the pot would be becoming an issue quick. but always better to start autos in the big pot.

well im on day 3 by the shell falling off that is. nice!! def need more lighting then. nice set up! yeah not going for fancy.
 
Those lights in the closet were only 80-90 bucks a piece and i have a cheap 8" fan off to side in there moving air around. With more knowledge I would spend a little more for the one I linked if i was buying again. Less than $150 will grow you a nice plant.

Just be as ginger as possible when you transplant to the larger pot. I would also hold off on it for now since she is already starting to stretch her roots and they are pretty delicate at this stage.
