She had a very rough start. I started with a 60w "grow" light about 2 feet away from her for the first 3 weeks for about 10hours a day. Fed her nutes right off the bat. Pretty much did every thing I could do wrong. I've since gotten a 105w, 400w equivelent cfl. Keeping her about 3 or 4 inches away from light. Put her on 18/6 schedule. Put her in fresh foxfarm organic soil. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that she yeilds anything. First grow and am using this as a learning experience. Waiting for a copy of Mel Frank's grower guide. Hoping between that and what I've learned here the next planting goes better. Got 5 more tries with this strain.

gopher,
Sounds like you're on the right track. I'd suggest getting it into a bigger pot so it has more room to develope a larger and healthier root system. As the roots grow out into the new soil the plant will be able to get at the nutrients it contains. Which might be a gentler way of feeding it for right now.
I'd be real leary about giving it to much additional fertilizing just yet. If you do, start real gentle with a quarter or half strength dose. From past experience it seems like every time I've tried to give additional nutes (by watering) to a plant that small it's been a mistake.
How's your temps? I'd shoot for between 70 and 80F during lights on and no lower than 60F during lights out.

PS: If you do decide to transplant it to a bigger pot, bury the stem right up to about a 1/4 to 1/2 inch from that first little set of seed leaves. In fact you could just add a little more soil to the pot it's in now to get it buried a little deeper.
