Transplant that into something like Black Gold Seedling Mix. Cheap and available everywhere in small bags. Put it in a 1 quart container. Then buy some soil that doesn’t claim it gives you bigger yadda yadda or you don’t have to fertilize. Miracle Gro Organic Potting soil and a bag of perlite. You can’t cut it with too much perlite. That’s impossible. Don’t use any fertilizer for a month.
Thanks for the information, I will put it in something smaller and keep an eye on it. I just got a couple AK widow 47 beans and I want to watch some of the process before I germinate those.
Keep it simple always and get bud. The growing is addictive.
I really like Black Gold! Great soil for half the price!
I also like that you can get it anywhere including grocery stores.
I put these in on the same day, and this one looks good maybe a little smaller than I’d like but I know I have to be patient!
Really? That sucks. This stuff is really good for seedlings and cuttings.Can't get it here.
I don't really use any real soil for anything so I'm sure they have stuff similar to it.
Miracle Gro is part of the Monsanto/Hawthorne/Scotts/Bayer group so I wouldn't use it if it was the only product on the market which it very well could be someday if they reach their goal of world seed and food domination.
You're right, and I probably deserve to burn in hell for mentioning it. I just thought a newbie might have an easier time than mixing up some peat and perlite themselves. I stand corrected.I don't really use any real soil for anything so I'm sure they have stuff similar to it.

Damned if I'm going to hand my assassin the ammo to kill me with.
I always advise new growers to practice with bag seed. Less emotional and economic baggage. Good luck.
If you want a good peat/perlite mix then get some ProMix HP if it's available. I've been using it since it showed up here about 10 years ago. You can use it straight out of the bag and just start feeding from day 1. I do everything with it. Start seeds and cuttings in it after putting it thru a 1mm mesh screen then grow them to the end in it.
Good plan, and you're getting a lot of good advice. If you don't want to go the peat/perlite route, and want to use soil, I'd recommend promix herb and vegetable soil. I've used it for hot peppers (their roots burn if there's too much nitrogen), and for a couple of indoor grows. It's a bit high in nitrogen for more sensitive sativa strains, but they'll grow through it. Indica strains do well in it.
Update- I put it in its own pot, and have been watering and watching. As of today it looks like this...
That's a pretty big pot for her. Doing that can cause problems with watering. If you decide to keep her in there, make sure you water right around the plant.
I normally start in the middle and work my way out, and these pots have a slot at the bottom that can hold water it says for a couple of weeks but I won’t be trying that! When I turn the lights on I spray the top layer of dirt also.
