First time grower wondering about this setup

[Offthatgood]

Hello! I'm not sure how this forum works or if anyone will see this post!
Today I planted a germinated seed that I got out of some weed I was smoking. I'm unsure if it's male or female but I want to see if I can take good care of it and get it to grow. I'm waiting for a grow tent & LED light that I ordered, so for now I have it in my closet under a 19W CFL light in a plastic cup. (I will add a picture) I'm just wondering if this temporary setup is acceptable? I guess I will find out based on whether or not the seed sprouts, but any feedback would be appreciated ✌ I am a complete beginner .

Welcome to this forum Offthatgood . Setup is alright to start with. Is that just a regular light bulb? If it is then you want to replace it with a cfl's that imitates the sun - like a brand called 'Sunblaster'. They are usually about 15 watts - so get 2
Good luck growing - and don't drown your plant.

Canuck147. Thank you for your help! It is a CFL light that said "75 W replacement" on the box and it came with 2 so Im not sure how many watts it is?

The cfl looks a bit on the white light side. This is ok. But I prefer them more on the blue side. Look for any brand cfl that is rated at 6500 k for temperature range.

Toker1 Thank you! I will check the temperature range for the one I'm using

Offthatgood, Yes, and if it starts stretching, bring your light closer.
You can grow whole plants with cfls, it's just takes a bunch of them.
In a day or two you might want to put your light a little closer.
GoodLuck and welcome to GWE! !

Hi guys i'm a first time grower, my seeds germinated on 10/9/18. The temp in my tent fluctuates between 23-28 degrees and humidity between 40-58%. I've transplanted my plants to a bigger pot (11L air pots). 4/5 have been growing fine but i have noticed 1 isn't growing properly, they are growing under 450W Vipar Spectra LEDs. Does anyone have any ideas as to why?

[D.A.A.S.69]

Have you got both switches on ? Or just veg?
How high you got your light ?
I got one of those lights, but I don't use it until my seedlings are well over a week old ,I just use 23watt cfls, at first.
How old are your plants ?

[MrGreenFingers]

I only have the veg switch on.
My plants are 30 days old.
My light is 3ft above my plants.
