Seed Sprouted 1 week ago!!!

[NoobieGrower420]

*****New to Growing.*****
i put a good high grade bag seed in some regular soil in a cup.
i put it in deep.
it sprouted about a week ago.
i put it in a bigger pot.
the stem is kinda skinny.(i put the soil up near the set of leaves)
it has been getting good water.
not too much just enough.
i know how to water it.
also has been getting around 15 hours of light from a flouro.

what should i do next?
maybe my question is how do i get the stem stronger or thicker. or is it too early for a big stem.

**WILL POST PICS AS IS GROWS**
thanks for all input

a good way to thicken the stalk is to have a fan blowing on it, not enough to knock it over, just a breeze to simulate natural air movement it would get outside.

thanks.
im getting some Fox Farm Ocean Forest Soil.
would it shock my plant to transplant into that?

 

[cyberquest]

it might slow growth for a couple days. but i have heard that fox farm is one of the best soils you can use, its specific for MJ.

i see people using 400watt HPS. whats the least amount of watts you should use for a flouro?

MP's guides, tutorials and pictorials...try looking here for this type of basic information.

Thanks for the link Hick.
i have read alot on stuff already.

i have a fan blowing on my plant lightly.

should i turn off the light when i water the plant?

Be careful not too overwater especially when they are so young. Also, dont start using nutes right away. Learn from my mistakes LoL~

 

[NoobieGrower420]

yea i usually put my finger down in the soil as far as i can.
only water when its dry.

its starting to grow 2 more leaves

they are still close to the other 4 and small.

this is week 1 day 5.

how long is it usually when you can see stem improvement with the fan blowing on it

i dont know. for me it was like one day i looked at the stem and i was like "WOW how did that happen?"

 

[NoobieGrower420]

How much of the roots broke off? If not alot you should be fine but if you broke off alot more than likely your plant will die.

 

[NoobieGrower420]

ALOT broke off..
is there anyway i can try the cloning method to get roots back?

Damn man what a bummer. I'm not sure about that. I think there is a product called Superthrive or something that might work but i'm not sure. Your best bet would be start a few more seeds if ya have them.
