Just thought I'd finally seek out a cannabis forum. I am starting my first grow. Indoor, closet grow. I started with the blue mystic strain from nirvana seeds. 4/5 seeds died in the little coconut fiber seed starters I had, so decided to directly germinate in soil. Being the newb I am, I did not jot on the calendar what day I first saw the root showing. But after smoking some cannabis, I got creative and back tracked my chats in texting/facebook, and was able to discover the seed sprouted on September 10th. So that means it has been growing for close to a month. I started in a small spot, those jiffy pots, next step up from seed starting. So first pic was on September 22nd. 
The bulb I used was a Utilitech daylight bulb (GX10q-4.) This provided 1335 lumens, and it was positioned around 10 inches from the seedling, then moved up once a week as it grew for the next 2 weeks. This is the next pic, taken right now (10/5/2013.) 
(I forgot to mention that after the jiffy pot, I transplanted it into a 5 gal. Not sure why I thought to, but that's how I went about it.)
After a soil test, I see the nitrogen is very present. Phosphorus is quite a bit present, but I'm not sure I got a correct reading on the potassium part. I'm going to watch it for the typical potassium deficiency, because from what I read it will start out strong. I understand the seedling phase is to about 3 weeks. I do see some little leaves forming at the first node. I'm assuming that means it is in vegetative state, right? I'm just curious how I'm doing so far. The light has been changed to a 4100 lumens CFL flood light I required for 3 prong. So far so good, at least from what I can tell. So I just thought I'd ask what you guys think compared to what you've seen at this time frame (with this strain, if possible.)
