Hello toxicgrower ,looks to me like your are doing fine, you can mist that seed hull and it will come right off, just be gentle.
Your going to do great, good luck and happy growing. And welcome to GWE

Looks good to me. I grow in hydro and i am a noob so not much help with soil grows. welcome to the wonderful world of growing. keep asking questions.
 
Yeah I finally got the hull off right after I took that pic...just pried it a little with a needle and it popped right off. It's hard for me a little to tell if it turning colors or not bc I'm partially color blind. My girlfriend and I are growing this though. So she helps me out. Nice to hear from others also though.
 
No nutes for a while at least 3 weeks depending on what type of soil your using ? And always ph your water to 6.3 to 6.5 for soil grow ( this is very important) to grow good.
 
Gday T.G welcome. When to begin feeding the little darlins depends on the quality of your soil, a good enriched type can sustain seedlings for weeks,it all depends. And as for type of nutrients...well thats an age old argument among growers. Read Nebulas tutorial on growing basics. Then you can Hang a list on the wall and throw a dart. Have fun on your grow.
 
I am using fox farms with a 50/50 perlite for drainage and better oxygen to roots. I haven't been overwatering i don't blv...i just keep the soil around it moist but I don't water directly onto it and it's working so far. I checked my soil when I first got it and I think it was at just barely above 7.0 I'll check it again when I get home. If it is still at the barely above 7.0 should I lower it. And what would u recommend for lowering it

You can use "pH Down" if you can find it (any grow shop or online). This is very potent. I use about 8 drops in a gallon of water to get the pH about 6.4. You do not need a big bottle (I made that mistake 6 grows ago and still have more than 2/3rds of the bottle left.) When you start adding nutes (after 3 weeks or so) these will also affect the pH. (most high nitrogen flower stage nutes will lower the pH by themselves, others may bring it up or down so you have to experiment a bit). How are you checking your pH (meter? test strips or drops?) . Best of luck to you with your first (of many) grows. You are in the right place for everything you will need to know.
 
I checked it by drops. I have a aquarium test kit and I used the ph tester in it. And then i have a soil ph tester to test it with. It tests the water and soil together.
 
So I will be switching to a bigger grow closet that I will be making out of boxes it will prolly be close to 6 foot tall. Right now the seedling is in a tote. I have a 15 watt led light bulb in it. And it is lined in aluminum foil to help get brighter. The box build will be lined in foil as well. The box build will be 2.2 square foot. How much light do I need for the 2.2 square foot box grow closet. Will the led I have work. I really wanna stick to leds for the low heat. I need recommendations on good lights to use also please.
 
Hello TG, yes it looks like you and your girlfriend have been doing a good job, pretty, keep it up she's gonna get big before you know it.
 
Good that's what I like to hear...thx bro...so around December 23 we will have to step out of the house for two or three days. Any suggestion on keeping it watered?
 
Oh and the two biggest leaves...if u look u can see how they are curled a little. Looks to be the same spot and same curl on both leaves. Could this be a genetic thing? Or something else you might know of?
 
Sorry but I can't see a curl, all I see is a nice ,pretty young plant ,new growth looks good.
You 2 are doing great.
