So far, so good. Did you remove that tin foil?

It wasn't tin foil it was some of my reflective mylar. But yes I did remove it. I gave it a thought and figured you're right my soil won't dry out as fast and could lead to some mildew issues .....right? Either way it's removed.
I so look forward to being able to smoke this one. She changes constantly. From time I go to sleep and wake up. Or from the time I leave to work and come home. Always different. Very little if any stretch. When would be a good time to move them to a slight bigger container? Keep in mind its a mini fridge space is limited. I was thinking of blacking out 2 liter bottles.
This is my first grow. So what I'm trying to get out of this is growing with what I have easy access to and making decent smoke. Although I will be getting better soil. This way I can just get the growing concept down.so when I do on getting a bigger set up I know what I'm doing and
I do plan on investing in future grows.

Reason besides trapped moisture that you don't want that in there is, the underside of the leaves don't collect sunlight properly, and I'm not 100%, but I believe light may be apt to damage them if the light has a high intensity.

I did not know ow it would do more harm than good.

It's just the underside where it's a problem. If mylar causes you any other problems, i.e. light burn or heat stress, your plant will tell you.

It's pretty high-neutral. Like, mine stays at high 6, low 7, unless I use diluted vinegar or lemon to pH it down. Dolomite for mag and pH up. pH isn't as important with organics. The microbes buffer everything, eating the organic matter and shitting out nutrients that are easily taken up into your root system. That's not to say that an extremely high or extremely low pH won't effect it, like anything else, but you have more leeway when your nutes aren't salt-bound.
Sorry, I missed this. My bad, @AnimalMother1974

When you see roots sticking out of the bottom. Or when it's a couple weeks old.

I don't know what kind of soil you can find. I would go with organic being a new grower. If you go with organic soil stick with organic amendments. If you want to go with a soilless mix or use chems then you'll need to ph adjust everything tends to lead to more problems with new growers. After you get another inter-node I would fim it. There is a thread hear on rollitup called fuck I missed you should look it up the mainline thread is another one to look at. A mini fridge is probably only big enough to grow one plant. Good luck, if you have any questions feel free to ask.

This is just a bag seed. I started a hydro grow. But quickly found out there's no room for error. At at least that's my conclusion be a 1st time grower. I will be getting some better organic soil this weekend. Nutrients I got are in the photo. I was thinking of mainlining. And as far as the fridge grow goes if I run out of space I have a cabinet and plenty of mylar to convert so after this preliminary grow goes the fridge may be used as vegetation room. Again any insight or opinions or constructive criticism is always welcomed

The next grow will be of a better quality strain from a reputable breeder. And at least a 3ftx3ftx6ft tent. This is just to get the idea of how the process goes

Don't use that on organic soil you'll kill the microlife off. In organics the microbes feed the soil so you're not really growig a plant you're growing a soil.

I would just keep growing bag seed until you get a fool proof setup. In my signature at the bottom of my post it says water only go ahead and read it. We talk about organic soil and a lot of good folks could help you out.
