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

This isnt a bad option. https://www.amazon.com/Spider-Farme...hvqmt=e&mcid=e93cbcd8a2b73247bedd942957f5f884

She looks to be begging for a light upgrade. Good luck on the journey!

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.

from sprout? day 8? cause 6 days ago i was just out the ground. damg ok... i need more light and bigger pot -_-
growing in my closet wishing for the best lol

GasPlease · Nov 7, 2025

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.

GasPlease · Nov 7, 2025

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.

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.

weedra · Nov 9, 2025

GasPlease · Nov 9, 2025

What light did you end up going with?

grayoldnproud · Nov 9, 2025

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.
