Im a Newbie and i just germinated a Cheese Feminized seed two days ago. i got it shipped from marijuanaseeds.nl. i had 4 of them but they died and they suffered from stretching. now i have the seed planted in the soil for the first time in some organic seed starting soil. the lamp i just purchased is directly over the soil about 6 inches from touching it. i have a CFL 23wat light bulb. Am i doing well so far? i am a newbie so advice would be great. i'll keep posted and take pics as well.

wow thats alot of light. okay thats pretty cool. but how many watts would i NEED per plant? or is it just that The More Watts The Better type thing? and i plan on vegging her til about 25-26 days. And then flower. for flowering i would use two 300Watt CFL 2700k bulbs but the light would be about 5 feet away...is that bad?

okay cool. thanks for the tip. i will be posting another pic of her later tonight.
but my main problem is that in the area i plan to flower in, it only has a light bulb socket, no power outlets and the light bulb is pretty high on the ceiling. :/

lol. i do too man.lol but sorry 4 the pic quality. ugh i never could get that crisp clear snapshot of her. well i think i'll be able to take better pics as they grow older. Motzerella Has not sprouted yet but she should be tomorrow. im wondering if its normal for the two leaves to look yellow like that, what does that mean?? and the center tips where another node has begun are burnt looking at the tips..am i doing sumthing wrong???

far as nutes, i dont use any. the soil im using is burpee eco friendly seed starter soil. as far as the water ph, i dont know, all i have been doing is taking tap water and setting it out for 24 hrs before i use it, and then using that to feed them.
