Hey wrendude whats up - pogojr23 makes a good point; as your seedling doesn't mind the wet dirt it's in at the momment, when it gets bigger, the roots will need to breathe significantly more oxygen than they can get now in that soil. Can I suggest transferring to soil w/30% perlite in mixed in - otherwise looking really nice.

will keep in mind! If she starts to show any stress Ill transplant her but seeing as shes still fairly small Ill stick with this atm! Shes actually in a root development soil blend from miracle grow.lol:)

ok got yah i topped mine at 5 weeks had 5 nodes/6 nodes and i got 6 new growth spots out of the one top ,, im working with a lil space so im not working on vertical growth im more on the horizontal growth i used to have it sitting on a tote in my lil 1.75ftx1.75ftx6.4ft closet .. i just made a cheap easy grow box made it out of a sterlite tote with foil all around the bottom sides and top 3 CFL's through the top lid and a small intake fan at the bottom of the side and a exhust fan above the intake fan seems to be going alot better now im more about the stealthy grows

even from seed i put not even a half cup of room temp spring water on them every 3 days so they are not under or over watered i was showing 2 nodes same size as your plant at week 2 lighten up on how much u water them but keep your schedule

I planned on going to 18/6 at the end of the week. shes an auto though soo her light schedule has no effect on her flowering.haha

ahh yah ur doing auto i do soil and cfl's with bagseed i want to ged a hid system or i want to build a hydro setup
build a hydro def! Ive used a NFT system in the past for lettucce and spinach. It makes overwatering easy to avoid and the plants get alot of oxygen to the roots. Just make sure your pH is on point!

CFL has not done me wrong yet but money is tight for a hydro setup or a hid light at that just real tight i have seen real good grows with cfl if proper wattage is used

I find nothing wrong with any setup as long as you get good results.haha!
