New grower: My plant

[wtfomgbbq123]

about 2 weeks ago i found a seed, screwed it up bad, i dont wanna talk about it. found another one a week later and this is what i have now, starting from when i began taking photos. yes it started its life in a basement window sill. turns out the hood light from my oven is 5000k, but only 840 lumens. i dont know a lot but the light doesnt put out much heat so i have the plant really close. hoping that's better than the window. (4ish hours of semi reasonable light) so far it seems to providing results ( will have to wait for it to stop absorbing light, will know more tomorrow), i found out i was overwatering, yes the soil looks dry. i had to add extra soil so the stem would stand tall. (going to leave it for a few days and see if the soil looks/feels like it needs, even the added top soil took on some soak. i took bad advice to water twice a day in sapling.... yeah idk about that 1, maybe a sprikle twice a day lmao anyways. hoping it makes it to flowering, but this is midway week 2. im concerned, its had a lot of poor conditions and stress.

Switched it from the window to the light, started light at 7am going till 11am then off till 7am...

Any tips would be much appreciated, i will also be upgrading the bulb and location if need be

5000k, 840 lumens, LED, is the current light situation.

Omg she has some long legs. I would do a few things. Add some dirt, or look into the pinch method for tall seedlings. Lower the light.

Otherwise say a little prayer for your little one.

It's best to keep the light close, so the plant doesn't stretch. Like watching a baby giraffe walk.

Invest in some proper LED lights... or make your own.

Your single light bulb is not enough, go through some posts here and see what others are using to give you an idea.

@Jaz I use a single bulb, made specific for seedlings. Never any issues.

i said if it needed a light upgrade i was willing to it, but its too late now anyways. i had no idea what i was doing at all lmao

@wtfomgbbq123 mistakes are made to happen. I hear it's a weed, its easy over and over. Don't beat yourself up. Plenty to try again

 

[Azimuth]

Do you still have it going or no?

 

[wtfomgbbq123]

unfortunately, no

 

[Azimuth]

Ok. Too bad.

Next time if you want, start a journal and ask for comments. There are lots of helpful fellow growers here happy to share.

Determine your grow size. Get a good light for that space, get some good soil, pop a couple more beans and go for it!
