Looks nice and healthy so far. That is a pretty big pot for a seedling. Be SURE not to over water. Make sure that the soil fully dry between watering's (not bone dry to the point of wilting, but the pot should feel light). Then only add enough water to make the soil damp, not soaked.
Lots of bad things can happen to the root zone if it stays too wet for too long.
As for transplanting, wait until the plant is as wide as the pot.
Good luck!

Thank you I usually water it every 4 days just depending on how light the pot feels or how dry the soil feels

Also try to water the edges of the pot so roots grow out looking for water in bigger pots.

That’s good to know thank you. I didn’t realize I was suppose to start in a plastic cup or something that small

You dont have to, you just have to learn how to water it right.
The issue I see with the pot is you didnt quite fill it enough and the seedling stretched a little bit to get out of the shadow caused by the edge of the pot. Just something to keep in mind for next time. You can fill in around the stem to make it less stretched out.

I have a question guys so this is my first plant and I just got more seeds but I want to do an indoor grow and I was just wondering what lights I need to use for what stage and how far away I’m suppose to keep the lights from the plant. Thank you for anyone that can help. I like growing outside but I live in Phoenix and it’s about to start getting pretty hot outside and I’m not sure they will survive in the desert heat

Depends what your budget is. I use a MH for veg and HPS for Flower. I got a MH/HPS 600w vivosun dimmable ballast setup with 1 bulb each for $160 on Amazon. I’m enjoying it so far!

The plant looks good man, but I’m not sure you will have much of a yield off of it.
Keep on growing!!

Yea I’m. Not sure what happened or why it didn’t get so big any ideas on what could have happened?

No idea, my guess is not enough nutes or light. Looks like it’s outside. Depending where you are located it may not be getting optimal amounts of light (not sure what season you are in)
Is it an auto or photo??

I live in Phoenix Arizona so right now sunrise to sunset is about 12 hours maybe that’s it

So at what point will it flower and do I have to change the light when it does like take it out the sun after a certain time?

Yeah, if it’s a photoperiod plant 12 hours of daylight from seed will induce it to go into flower (which you can see it already doing). Or if it’s an auto it’s just not enough light to induce vigorous growth.

It’s already started flowering.

Ok that makes sense, so for my next grow if it’s not an auto how much light is good for a photo or how much is good for an auto
