Just making sure I'm on track

I'm only on day three of veg, so it could just be first grow anticipation but I wanted to make sure. Pictures I've seen of seedlings grow really fast and I feel like I'm behind the ball.

You're on track.

Those two smooth leaves will feed your seedling for the first while of it's life so don't get to worried about extra nutrition until those begin to curl up.

What wattage CFL are you using? Remember to keep your light close to keep it short and squat.

It's a 250watt and I had it about 5 inches away. I replanted it into a smaller container and came in the next day to find it bent over and looked dead. Maybe it could have been saved idk but I got pissed and restarted. Germinating my last Great White Shark seed now

Why not try putting the seedling into it's final container? I never wanted to damage my first grow in any way to I kept things real simple. I've also had bent over seedlings, the fan I had in the tent was too strong and bent them clear over! I actually forgot it was a seedling so you may want to keep your light about 8" away if that can be helped, too much light can burn the little seedling.

That's how I originally did it, it was started in a 5 gal smart pot, but it was hard to tell when to water for me so I put it in a smaller one and boom she looked like she kicked. Hopefully with experience I develope my own little method of starting seedlings. That's what the coolest part about growing plants, not even just cannabis. Everybody creates their own way to care for a living thing, idk it's just awesome.
