Cool! Then... let's talk about your soil.
That is potting soil which means it is good for potted plants, not so much for dope. Your particular has 6 months-worth of nutrients that are great for plants that will only vegetate, like most houseplants. For a full 6 months, your soil will be vegetating your plant. When it comes time for flowering, you will need to add flowering nutes. You might also run into issues if you have too much nitrogen in your soil when flowering time comes. With some effort, you can flush the soil and cut down that 6-month time.
Here's an upside. Chances are your seed is not an autoflowering one. If it is a female, you will be able to veg the plant a long time which means a big freaking dope plant with many colas, if you get into topping.
Your pot is not big enough for a long growing plant. At some point, you will want to upsize. When you do, if you use that same potting soil, you will be extending the life of the nutrients, pretty much setting yourself back to the beginning.
There's a colorful fellow in the forum who will probably be laying down with lighting suggestions.
But, hey! You got yourself a fine-looking dope seedling!! Keep on trucking!!!C'mon, mule!

Thanks so much for the insights on the potting soil, Gingerbeard! When and if the time comes, I might try that “flush” to switch to the flowering stage. The pot is a give-gallon…how long do you think I could stretch the veg stage in that container? Thanks again!

A rule of thumb is, if you are going to transplant, do it when the drip line/edge of the plant canopy reaches the side of the container. At about that point, the plant becomes rootbound. Being rootbound is not entirely horrible if you know how to work it, which it seems you do not, yet.
If you knew how to work it, you could grow a large plant in that pot, seed-to-weed. Search the forum for Solo cup challenge.

…my personal, green, novice perspective of the GEL lamp so far…even though I have a 4X3 grow tent, I’m only using 4X2 as the manufacturer suggests. This early in the veg stage, I’m running blues and whites 20/4 at 18 inches between the plant and lamp. I’m very pleased so far…the final jury’s decision is still out this early in the grow…
