Hello my friends, I'm new to this. Just started 6 days ago... I'm having a very strange first time experience... i germinated ONE seed and planted it in the pot.. everything was dome correctly there. The next day, i opened the door to check on her and one sprout already started. I excitedly went to work and couldn't believe i had accomplished getting it to sprout. Before I went to bed, I checked on her again. The two round leaves that the sprout first had were curling all the way to the stem, but was still a healthy lookong green. Discouraged, I went to sleep.. the next day i woke up and found that my seed had ANOTHER sprout... the same thing happened that day that had happened the day before.. wimpy leaves and etc.. so i went to bed discouraged yet again.. the next morning (this morning) I looked and now see FOUR sprouts.. they are growimg extremely slowly.. i know that there's about a 95% chance that only one will live, but what I'm trying to get at is I want my first time to be a good experience amd i know as a first timer that probably won't happen if I do it alone. Ill post pics of my set up... She's a blue dream seedling and the seed was perfectly mature from what i remember. Help?

The best advice I can give is to do some reading. Start with the stickies in the newbie section, do some searches for topics you want to learn more about.

First, it sounds like you planted one seed but are seeing several sprouts? By sprouts I think you mean leaves?

For starters I would say do not overwater! let the soil get somewhat dry before rewatering. Make sure the temps are above 70 and not over about 82. Make sure it is close enough to a good light source so it doesn't stretch. Do not fertilize it for at least 2-3 weeks and then only very mild ferts. There is a lot more to know but that should keep you from killing it.

Do some reading then come back and ask more questions about anything you don't understand or want an opinion on.

Good luck

Sorry, only one seedling per seed allowed. You probably have some misc. seed in your soil that is sprouting from the moisture added. Hope you are aware that the first set of cotyledon leaves that MJ puts out are round.
