so a little white tail(taproot) has emerged from the seed? Find some seedling soil and plant it in a cup. In a couple of days it will show its head from the soil. when that happenes put your CFL (u have this right?) about 1-3 inches away from the seedling and put a lightly blowing fan on the light/plant.
Soil-for a seedling you dont want anything that has too many ferts in it. If you have a Homedepot close to you they should have some Scotts seedling starter soil with added phos. this is what i use and its nice and gentle on the little plant.
Lights-if im not mistaken you said in another thread you were going to use CFL for veg. This is fine, just get a couple more around the plant as it grows and gets bigger. You can use CFLs for flowering but you will be more pleased with HPS lighting
Nutrients-you dont want to add any nutes to the soil until its big enough to handle it. If its not big enough you can burn the plant up with adding too much, it will show in the leaves. It will probably be about 3-4 before you want to add a little Vegatative nutrient.
I could go into a lot more detail but its time for me to have a drink.:thumbsup: ......hope this helped some, welcome, and dont be afraid to ask questions, but just to let you know.....if its a funny question I WILL LAUGH AT YOU...hahah jk
