growing under 12 12 winter conditions in ont canada...soil from an indoor plant, apparently the soil was from outside so the mix is topsoil with wood chips and perlite. i dont know anything about nutes so i dont use any, but i water with rain water i hear it has good ph...any advice for things i could do to make this grow better with a few bucks for a budget?

SO you have a stealth grow in a window? lol. Thats kinda funny.
Your not using nutes and only using winter sunlight? I'm in michigan which
is pretty close & it's usually really gray. not much light.

more details plz

rain waters ph is always differnet in different ares and time of year alot of rain water is acidic so check the ph of the water and fox farm is a good cheap fertilizer,

well if u have been using rain water and the plant is still nice and green then it should be fine, and most the your sink water will be fine just let the water sit in a 1 gal jug or whatever size for 24 hours with the lid off so the chlorine and other stuff will come out of it making it healthier for ur plant u got any pics

update

i had a brainwave i attached some aluminum foil on the back of my cups so sunlight can reflect off the back of the glass on my seedlings...also whe the light goes on and off in my room the plant will have some cover besides the curtain(a bedsheet pinned on the wall above the window). it just wraps around the cup i used an elastic on both...one seed is brown and red the other is a medium tan/brown color the red brown seed looks crzy! its big too i wannasee its bud
