420..

if your plant is already 6-8 inches.. you are experiencing.. or shall i say, your plant is experiencing something we call.. STRETCHING.. it is not good and needs to be addressed NOW..

YOUR plant is stretching searching for light!

you need to get a Compact Fluorescent Light.. (CFL)
Ideally a 150 watt cfl. ( they sell these at walmart for $8.44 )

And you need to put the light within 2-3 inches of your plant for the next 7-14 days. Then move the light to less than 1 inch from your plant...


Leave the light on 18+ hours a day.. If you do not have a timer.. then leave the light on for 24 hours.. and get a timer..

no if you could fill me in on how to do that and all that would be great cuz i really wanna make a dank plant and im trying to make sure i do everything right

[420life]

also the stem that came out of the seed is almost fully white and has two leaves, is this a good thing? and what can i do to make it healthier if needed

[420life]

annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd what about the actually planting? where do i start there

[Garden Knowm]

stick it in the dirt.. NOW..

no the white stem is not GOOD..

You should get the light and some potting soil..
a 3 gallon pot would be NICE.
Get a soil that has perlite in it.. or add in 20% perlite.. to whatever soil you BUY..

so.. you need soil, perlite, water and a light..

: )

GO NOW...

i really wanna make a dank plant and im trying to make sure i do everything right

1) Read all the posts in the faqs except the ones that seem more advanced.
2) Do not over or under water
3) Do not over or under fertilize or nuterient.
4) Use as much light as you can afford. High Intensity Discharge is by far the best, but requires more ventilation.
5) Do searches and read extensively on important words like light, temperature, humidity, ventilation, nutrients, fertilizer...
6) Repeat often and you will become a master.
