Hey this plant I'm growing is a Super Skunk and is 4 weeks.The soil I'm using is Sta-Green Moisture Max.Its inside for a minute but is going to be a outdoor grow.I wanted to know the size its at now,is that normal to be at 4 weeks?Its seems like its a lil smaller to me to be at 4 weeks.I water it every 4-5 days and give it sunlight through the window sill to wean it to get ready 4 outside.

no, sorry man but those are like half as big as mine is at 4 weeks and 3 days.
i but when you move it outdoors and it gets the direct sunlight it will start to take off and get huge before you know it

Yeah that little girl is small. I have some 3-4week old seedlings that are about 2times that size and already on their 4th node, and they are growing slower than many of the plants i see on these forums. You should put it in a gallon bucket with potting soil and put it outside, a windowsill is just going to make it stretch. And you really don't need to harden them off that much, i throw my plants from under CFLs to directly outside and they take off in growth.
@rucca 4 weeks since it broke through the soil. And thanks I figured that it looked smaller, yea its time to put it outside so it can take off.Oh another thing by the stem not being to strong just yet is there anything I can do to support it for outside weather until it gets stronger.

what i usually do if i have a lanky plant like that, when i put it outside i bury the dirt to 1inch bellow the first node, so your just burying the extra stem.

no offense, but no, those look like my 7-10 day old plants usually do(without the stretching yours has.).
Yes, get something to tie it to to support it for a little while if you think stem strength may be a problem at first, just dont tie it really tight.

try leaving a fan on it all the time while inside the stem will get thicker and stronger. Just a thought

or you could do this, which I'm gonna have to switch my advice to, I didnt think of this option for some reason but its obviously the best one imo.

Exactly the right approach! (At least, that is what I do.)
