Welcome aboard. What is that light? First question from many soon to reply. It doesnt look like a grow lamp. If it isnt the spectrum will not grow that plant well. What is the seedling in? I see some sort of plastic. Just 2 things that jump out to me.

You need a light at least 200-250 true draw watts, not cheap led rated. Your plant is fueled by LIGHT, not nutrients. Nutes are to plants like vitamins to us, we need food to grow, plants use light for food!

I have been out of the light game a while. Set for 5 more years. 200w with samsung 301b/h/e diodes full spectrum… Any of those versions will be fine. Most important thing of all so there is where your money should go. Other stuff can be cheap for now. The light just get a good 1 right away. That investment is good for 5 years at least. If planning on expanding get a big 1. If just planning on 1 plant or 2 a good 200-300w will suffice. Hlg refurbished best bang for the buck. Anything with a bloom switch is out. A good light will pay for itself first grow. Research. Put your choices up here. We will guide you. @dbrn32 you have been summoned sir…grin. you are simple and to the point here. Your house man. Mind assisting?

Do you plan to use a tent or just leave this where it’s at?

Not sure if I’m missing anything but they look pretty good to me.

If that plant is really 3 weeks old something is drastically wrong, not just the light. If you’ve got another seed you should probably go ahead and get it going and maybe put it outside until you can get an adequate grow light.
What would be wrong with it? Should it have bigger buds at 3 week into flower?

That comes later.
I was referring to the OP who said his plant was 3 weeks old and was still a sprout. By 3 weeks it should be a pretty big bush, about to begin flowering.
Yours look ok, maybe a little leggy/spindly. How old are they? What is the medium? What lights are you using?
They are 2-3 weeks in flower. Soil is my own mix of compost and manure I make. Lights a just 48” 54w light. I think they’re doing ok but do think the intensity needs to be more imo.
Right, a lot more if you’d like nice dense colas. Plants look healthy though, so you have that part covered.
I forgot to mention that there is 4 lights 48”@ 54w each with a PAR of 100 per light. That’s in a 2.5 wide x6 long x3ft high tent
