As you can see, the "true" leafs are rapidly growing while the cotyledon leafs are looking smaller and smaller.
The first picture is from 2 days ago; while the 2nd picture was just taken [day 4]
I'll keep posting pics!! Thank you to all who are with me on this little project

Dude.i aint a big time grow-pro here..but whatever i learnt with my small experiences..sprouts need a good amount of light ...
u can keep em in the window for daytime wen the light is good enough..then later in the day ..put it under some CFLs...
then again ,right now u can continue with ur window thing ..but u ll soon need lights..infact very soon...try giving it some nice light..it'll grow as hell..or maybe give it a proper room and lighting and avoid th ewindow thing..
the choice is upto u ...People generally go for 18/6 lighting at this period...some even 24/0
Good luck !!

Yea dude its worth it to invest in a bunch of cfls. when your plant grows a little bit, more light=more growth.
Dude my plant is in such a cool growth stage right now, shes a 2 leafed seedling that has a bunch of small leaves just about to explode into growth

After some careless choices, I bought the correct type of light.
This isnt anything special but we'll see how well it works.
I got a 10W and 15W (careless thought they were the same but we'll go with it)
6500K daylight CFL producing approx 1800 lumens/sq foot.
Leaving lights on 24 hrs too.
Also-- I changed the potting mix from an outdoor soil and mulch mixture to a miracle gro potting mix. So, I had to transplant my little seedling and expose its long white little root. could that be a problem? =/
****DAY 5*****
True leafs growing rapidly... they're looking pretty fat so it looks like i may have a bit of an indica strain..
The 2nd pic is my overall set up.. the 6500K bulb is so bright (I need to wear sunglasses lol)! (even for a little 15W bulb)
The last pic was just taken [day 5]
**New (extremely small) shoots are developing!! (idk if you can see them inthe pic)
plz comment on the development if youd like

That's a great start that you have there, I also started in cups but found really soon that it was time to get rid of them. If you go to your local garden store for less than a dollar a piece you can get a pot that will be much better than the plastic cup that you are currently growing in. I would also check the local lowes or hardware store for a socket splitter, then you can trun your 2 sockets into 4. I started with a single light and after some reading found that I needed MUCH more than that. I currently run 14 CFL's for 6 plants and am still under lit, check out my photo album, not to say that i"m any good at this by any means but just give it a look. Well Good luck to you

No I transplanted my seedling to the MG
Although i did see a daddy long leg spider in the bag... but i doubt there'd be any bugs in a MG bag.

I also used the MG but the bugs seemed to find a way in.....right now I am noticing a white worm like bug on the sticky strips that I'm using and noticing fruit flies and a hair like bug in the vinager and soap mixture that I have in there. I bought some sand tonight so I will put that on there tomorrow when I get home from work. The only thing I don't like about the sand is that it will be a little tougher to tell the moisture of the soil with a layer of sand on the top.
