im using a square 10 gallon kitty-litter bucket, a comp fan placed on the very bottom of the bucket passive air holed drilled at top, 10 on each side of bucket 1/2 inch each, 2 43w cool natural light CFLs, for soil i am using nutrient free miracle grow moisture control potting soil (soaked soil in large turkey frier pot put on turkey frier stured till came to boil and strained into another large bucket with a towel attached to top of bucket, picked up towl with soking wet soil placed soil in a bucket with holes drilled in it got a large round flat thing put it in bucket and stood on flat thing till water stopped coming out of soil) well i put a lid on this bucket which i had cleaned and took it inside i germinated a seed in a styrafoam cup with thes nute free soil and poked holes in the cup the seedling got knocked over by my drunk roommate and it knocked off a bean but in place of the bean a leave came out so not all was lost. i diluted a very small amount of rooting compound in the water that i added to the soil after the plant had sprouted leaves. i mist the plant every 6 to 8 hours. im preatty sure this is all good. Any suggestions or questions?

Never grow in an apartment inhabited by a drunk. They talk too much.
No nutes until the plant has 4-5 sets of adult leaves.

the plant has leaves coming out in every direction! i think its indica because the leaves are about 1/2 inch wide and its been growing for about 4 days now. its got 5 leaves and growing like a (weed).

its got alot wider but not much taller, i think this is because the lights are like 2 inches away from the plant. it is growim out leaves in sets of three on 2 sides a day im prolly gunna raise the lights up so the plant doesnt burn itself my buddy insists its a male but is on a 24/0 cycle so no way to tell. when should i start flower? about 15-25 days? or longer. this is my first indo grow so im clueless.

becareful of having the light too far from the plant cause that could cause streching, thats never a good thing, and in my case i lost a few from streching but i have recently saved one that streched, didnt have much hope for it till it started to grow towards the light
