need some fucking help, first grow

i just planted my germinated seed in a small cup 3 days ago? I am in a pretty small space and am using a 21-7-14 soil. I have a 75 watt flourescent light, like a regular lamp light. I was wondering if this is enough wattige to grow at a steady good pace. I just cant spend top dollar for real good light and equipment. Cheack out my pics and please give me some suggestions on lights ,growing methods, soil, anything.

Seems like it's doing fine if it's on it's 3rd day.

Perhaps lower the light a bit. How hot is it? Shouldn't be hot at all.

Well first your seedling looks a bit stretched, Due to your light not being low enough...

And You defiantly will need more light,

Since your on a budget I suggest you go and Buy some CFL's (Compact Flours) at wal-mart

Also since it's stretched you might want to add soil up to it's first set of leaves.... (To strengthen the main stem)

,,,

The light will really not put off the spectrum that you need. Bare minimum would be to go get some cfl's with a 6000k spectrum "or as close as you can get".

okay start concidering a hps light asap for one plant your lokking at 150 watts ...it wont be to bad you wont spend more than $100 i promise and id suggest 2.5 gallon pot when you transplant ...lower the lights to

You need the light to at LEAST be 1 inch from your plants or your really just wasting lumens...

I have 6 26watt 6500k daylight cfls that i got from walmart cheap. Thats150 watts..slap that on 2/3 plants and viola

thank you all i will def. transport it to a slightly bigger pot and fill up to the first leaves wit soil, but if i move the bulb just an inch away from the plant will the leaves start to burn or no?

Not not if your using a Compact Flouro
