The ugliest babies usually turn out the most wicked plants in adulthood!

I am really not sure whats going wrong its under 2 cfl 24W bullbs 24/7 since i cracked the shell off her ,

So my question is : Is the size normal for its age ? (its been in the pot since Christmas day but had the helmet head issue resolved 9 days ago it just seems to be growing so slow . . . . . or maybe i am just impatient

Most probably your little baby does not like your soil or someting that you put in it.

You can get rid of shell if you let them develop on paper towel a little bit longer, until sprout is 1-2 cm long or you spray shell with water and it drops away very soon. It did not drop down because it was too dry.

cool thanks for the quick response , thats good to know ,

umm the lights i have are :
4x CFL 24W / 1450lumens / 6500K
5x CFL 24W/ 1550lumens / 2700K
This is my 1st grow so i only have cheap lights . I am hoping it should be enough. . . . i like the fact I can place these bulbs really close to the plant with no heat issues and they have not a bad lumen output

Soil
70% average potting mix
20% Perlite
10% vermiculite
I mixed it all up by hand making sure is wasn't to clumpy . also used seedling soil for the top 10cm of the pot where i planted my seed.


also the temp of my cupboard sits around 25 degrees is this okay ? i have a small desk fan to circulate the air
