Hi @msparis2195 and welcome to ILGM forum :person_raising_hand: :innocent: :v: If you talk about the cotyledon leaves (first set of round leaves), itā€™s totaly normal, they gone a fall and itā€™s ok :+1:Donā€™t worry, sheā€™s looking fine, just a little stretchyā€¦ You can fill the support ticket and if a there really a problem it gone a probably show :+1::ok_hand::v::innocent:

@msparis2195, how far is that light from it, that little girl needs a lot of light so she wonā€™t stretch to get it. I used a 150w for my first grow, Iā€™m interested in following this. Good luck

OK @msparis2195 has his support ticket edited into his first post. My guess is he probably hit his newb daily limit on posts.

I think we are missing the strain of MJ plant and I see pH is Na. What are you watering with? Tap, distilled?

Also the soil is miracle grow potting mix

What sort of container is that your plant is in and does it have ample drainage so that the soils drys out between watering. How often do you water and how are you watering?

Ok, miracle grow potting mix is not the ideal medium for your seedling and sprouting, if you see more yellow leaves or difformity with the real set of leaves in the incoming days you will have to give a thought about putting them in an another medium, however itā€™s not alarming your first set of real leaves seem to be healty :+1::ok_hand:

If you donā€™t already have a PH pen meter and a TDS pen meter, iā€™ll suggest you get those, most problem come from PH or nutrients issues , it would be wise to possess themā€‹:+1::innocent: hereā€™s some thatā€™s not too pricy

@Niala no worries. Iā€™m not experienced enough to be offering too much advice but I just wanted to highlight some of the most probable issues.

Ok should be alright, might want move it up basically use this, if itā€™s too hot for the back of your hand for 10 to 15 seconds itā€™s too hot for your plant. Now I would try about 12 to 14 inches away an see how it does, if you see that it is starting to ā€œstretchā€ gets taller and the stem wonā€™t be able to support it, so just keep an eye try the back of your hand trick an keep us posted

I donā€™t believe that that is anything to worry about.
when the seedling is finished sucking the nutrientā€™s from itā€™s supply the bottom leaves will turn yellow and die and fall off

@bob31 @Hawkeye_diesel @Niala @garrigan62 the last time i water it was yesterday and this the pot im using 6"
.
but now im just thinking about starting over because this how it look now in the morning.


If i start over can i still start it off in the 6" pot and just pick a different soil to use? And thank you all for helping me, cause this is my first time every growing any type of plant, it means alot. :slight_smile:

I think youā€™ve over watered her just aa bit.
Push or put some more soil up around her for support.
then water once a day and thatā€™s just lightly watering. okand letā€™s see if she pullā€™s throigh ok
I think she will.

Is that pot plastic? Hard to tell. Iā€™m sure I read somewhere not to use clay pots. Canā€™t remember why but maybe worth a google.

Googled and I see no reason to not use clay. I must have dreamt it.
