How does this look?

[TheRisen]

I'm doing my first ever grow and my baby is ten days old. I was just looking from some input from some more experience growers on here. heres pics of it from then till now. the large ones were taken today, the middle ones were taken 5 days ago and the littlest were taken the day it sprouted. Any input on how it looks would be great. and gnats arent a killer are they? because i have a few but i wasnt sure if they were problematic. any info on those as well would be welcome. also when sure i start using nutes? Sry i'm so new and its hard for me to determine when exactly i should be doing everything. Thanks to anyone who posts any input or info!!

What kind of light is that and how many watts does it kick out? You may want to check out a Compact Flourescent light, they're fairly cheap and you can get some decent vegetative growth off of one of those on just one plant. Hope its a girl, it sucks when you only have one plant and its a dude. My first plant ever was a male my, my, my! How much you learn in 10 years!

gnats are a sign of something being too moist(standing water in a plant tray?), dont use any nutes untill they get a few sets of leaves or at least for a couple of weeks.

Yea i'm using 3 cfls two 25 and one 28 actual watts. all of them are rated at 75 watts so i figured it should be good enough because i have seen people one here use 3 for like 3 plants so i put them in desklamps. and i figured out why i have too much moisture its the stupid soil i have it satys wet for days on end. i might have to transplant it with a different kind of soil if it continues to suck but i've been watering much less so i hope it helps it. THANKS for your support!

Well what soil are you using? Perhaps your plant is in too big of a pot for it's age. Remember, it doesn't have a lot of roots now, so, if you are watering a big container of soil, a lot isn't being absorbed by the plant, which could be the cause of the fungus gnats. Make sure you have the correct spectrum CFL for your stage of growth. Vegetative growth needs the cool cfls, while flowering needs the warm ones. Good luck and keep us updated.

These are of my baby taken today. it is now 2 weeks old. i have started extending how much i water in order to reduce the moistness because i realized the crappy soil i used is a moisture retaining one so i've been mostly overwatering because the bottom of the pot is still damp. the gnats are slowly reducing. i put a piece of paper over the soil so they stop laying eggs in the soil n the babys stop popping up. Thanks for the advice on everything and I promise to have some new pics up in a few more days. KEEP THE ADVICE AND COMMENTS COMING THEY ARE VERY APPRECIATED!!!

Sooooo - are you going to do something about the poor soil or are you going to fight it the whole way?

Just wondering.:jointsmile:

PC :stoned:

[TheRisen]

I wasnt sure. I was thinkin maybe i could just keep using this n pick something else next time, but i dont want to endanger my plant. Like i said i havent been watering nearly as much but i dont want to wait and have the soil be bad for it... Should i transplant it with a different soil or see if i can try to get a hang of this one? Keep the advice coming!!
