First time grower

Im not sure what strain is this, got it from a random baggy. This is day 4. Planted it on a potting mix(not really sure the ingredients not stated on bag). Using single 13W CFL light at about 5-10cm away from the seedling. Have a little fan to blow on it. Watered every 1-2 days. Anything i should do for a healthy growth?

Buy a better light, or plan on moving it outdoors, for starters.

Adjust the fan so it's blowing between the light and the plant, not directly on the plant.

Will it stand up on it's own yet?

It looks good for a couple days old.

is a 40W LED purple light good enough or too much for the seedling stage?

the stem is kind of weak that it droops in the middle part, so i used something to support for now. What can i do about the stem?

Feed your plants something with silica in it, like GH Armor Si when they get a tad bigger, and it will make your plants strong with thick stems...But for now prop it like you are.

IDK if a 40w LED is enough...Maybe, for seedling stage, but not for vegative growth and certainly not for flowering.

thanks for the tips! i'll look into getting stronger HPS lights for later stages.

Just a little time, it's young yet.

The support is a good idea but if the stem doesn't get stronger in the next week build your pot up with moist medium until most of the stem is buried.
