here is my plant

i bought this plant from a medical center in LA
one and a half week ago.
it was 3 and a half inches when i got it
and today it is 5 and a half.

here are some pictures/



also i started off some seeds
and i want to know if its bad to water the seeds by pouring the water directly the seeds?

I'm not sure if it's looking that healthy, plus hard to tell with the quality of the pictures. make sure it's getting full sun if it's growing outside

It doesn't look too bad, but do some growing research. That soil don't look the best to me and it looks quite dry, make sure your watering enough and with the right frequency.
I'm assuming you mean watering the seed when you've put it in soil, plant about 1/4 deep and just be careful when you water, doing it slowly so you don't disturb the seed.

It looks like it's already suffered some nute burn.

What kind of soil are you using?

Looks alright but needs some extra TLC. Don't feed it anymore and give it plenty of sunlight, as it looks although it's stretching a tad.

Check out the FAQ's forum here.

Good luck. :thumbsup:

whats TLC?
it is a indoor plant, i just took the pic outside
and there shitty pics, saying i took them with my iMac.
anyways i am using a 500 watt halogen light
it produces a lot of heat and light
and i keep my plant about 4 feet away from it for along time of the day
(sometimes up to 20 hours)
this is my first plant so im kinda confused on how to grow it.
so what should i do?

Well, wow. Okay, where to start.

TLC=Tender Love and Care

Your first problem is the light. A halogen bulb doesn't create the correct light spectrum for growqing, so in other words, it is no good to use. Your plant will continue to stretch and will not make it to flowering if you don't use correct lighting. It is alos a huge fire hazard because of the extreme heat they give off. I used to work under a couple 500W halogen work lights, and even from 6ft up, I could feel extreme heat coming off of them, so you need to change lighting asap.

I suggest you get some CFL bulbs (Compact Floro. Lighting). Those are the spiral shaped bulbs you see around. They require no ballast and just screw into a regular light socket. You can get any wattage from 13watts-175W. I suggest for that one plant, you get at least 100W happening.

Like I said, read the FAQ forum here, and go check out the Basic Growing forum to get questions answered.

Good luck.

you mean those every day normal house bulbs
the spiraling ones?

would the natural sunlight be better fr my plant than my 500W halogen?
for like right now
until i can get my hands on a beter bulb.

Yes, exactly. They are found everywhere and use very little energy.

And yes, the natural sunlight is better than the halogen bulb. If you have the nice weather pput it outside in the direct sunlight for at least 4-6hours, no more than that though, or it may get burned. If you're doing it by a window, try to not let it sit there for too long or it will stretch. Turn the pot in front of the window everyday to make sure the stem grows straight.

yeah right now its like perfect weather.
but really, i thought you kept the plant under light for 18 hours of the day.
would that spiral light bulb be better than the sun?
whats your recommendation for a really good bulb that helps it grow?
