I was wondering because the tips of the leaves are turning yellowish. Its a 23 watt 6500k cfl.

do not give it any nutes..plenty of nutes in the mg soil for a couple more weeks....it will be fine.... perfectly normal for a young plant to get slightly burned tips from the mg soil...relax and enjoy watching her grow

is that a foam coffee cup? ...if it is i would let the soil dry and put it in a plastic cup...the foam cups seem to grab hold of the roots and you will not get a clean transfer when you pot the plant
