Unless your plant is ready, it's kind of pointless... give it some time and really I think it's best to wait until the plant shows alternating nodes.

lol i forgot to mention that my plant is on its 5th alternating nodes (showing its 5th set of true leafs in the middle)

[stinkyattic]

Wait-5th node or 5th ALTERNATING node... because the first bunch of nodes will be OPPOSITE, like how the leaves pop out of what looks like the same spot on opposite sides of the main stem. When they are alternating then the main stem will take on a vaguely zigzagged appearance.

ok there are the two round leafs. then there is the 2 single bladed leafs on one each side. then there is the the first set of true leafs poping out of the steam out of the same spot on the oppisit side. then there are 4 more of these goin up the steam so i have 4 alternading true leafes nodes whatever you want to call them. then there is the 5th true alternading leafs nodes what have ya about a quarter inch growing in the center in the next week there will be 5 alternading True leafs

like this except in soil and im on my 5th true leafe

You've got 'opposite' placement still. The 1st pic in the 'weird you gotta see this ' thread shows a good angle where you can see alternate placement really well.
That plant probably wants another month of veg. And it would like its roots back in the dark now please, too!
