Hey guys

I planted the seed on March 29th 2009 and it's been growing fine. Thing is that it just looks like a stem with a bud on top:neutral: right now it's just by a window and I give it water every 2-3 days so my question is why hasn't the beginner leaves begun to grow?

Thanks Guys:bigjoint:

Not enough light. By a window means its only getting light when light shines through the window. Not enough light.

Hey Purple.. sometimes the casting of the seed stays stuck to the seedling... maybe it's covering your first two leaves.. If this is the case, you can try to remove CAREFULLY with your hand, a pair of tweezers, etc. also the light issue as mentioned before.... you can also have a temp problem, and the soil might not be adequate... let us know what you are using for everything and that way the experts here can make a better assessment of your problem! Cheers and good luck

Well I'm trying to take a picture I'll get it asap. But otherwise I'm growing out of a Styrofoam cup using Miracle Grow Potting soil. I think the thing on top of the stem is the seed because it's brown/grey-ish I'm not going it remove it just as yet , unless you think i should? I plan to move it outdoors in about 1 week but I'm curious if i should because the leaves haven't started growing yet.:cry:

Thanks Man :blsmoke:
