Um honestly idk my dad gave me the pot and potting soil and already had moistened it before repotting. So its been moist for the past few days thats why i haven't really watered it because yesterday and the day before there wasn't a lot of sun but today is such a sunny and warm day. I can ask him and get back to you. Or i can take a pic
yeah def need to know brand so I can see if what fert levels may already be in it. It looks pretty decent though

What if it gets too hot outside? Like i obviously want her to get sun but dont want it to be too hot also
Best to have a spray bottle and mist her in the shade, some sun, then indirect light maybe in a partial shady area. Best to get the CFL lights ASAP, she needs 18 hours of light, and can go 24 hrs solid using CFL

Try to find at least a 100w equivalent, daylight spectrum, 5000k I think.
On sun, yeah you'll be better off with CFL lighting for seedlings. Following light schedule is important, read that part in that guide..

Ok thank you. This guy who posted on the first page who is also giving me help said this. "Get urself a couple 42 W cfls. One 2700k and one 6500k. If you don't know what those numbers mean just punch them into Google and learn about color temp and lumens for a bit."Try to find at least a 100w equivalent, daylight spectrum, 5000k I think.

That'd be great if you can find them locally, that wattage would work for veg. not sure if stores carry them that high wattage.
