Hello @BuxomHobbit ! Usually after 10-12 days they are ready for the big lights. But be careful not to put them very close. Also man that soil looks very very bad. It looks very loamy. I hope you won't have problems with over water and deficiencies ! For your next grow or if and when you transplant use a compost rich soil with a lot of perlite for good aeration... Happy growing! 👊

IMO -move ‘er any time and she should be just fine. That said, if you have an option for a less powerful light like a cfl then I would also agree with @stick - seedlings love this light in the early stages and it can speed up/increase growth rate in the right conditions. Best of luck this one’ll be interesting 👍👊

Hello ! You can move her right now but be sure that the soil is not drying quickly and that the Relative Humidity should be at least 70%. Hope it will help you 😁👍

Ok so she was doing really well and I tried topping her which went well but then my partner had a lil misshap and she lost her heads n a good few inches.:-( However I expect her to survive fingers crossed.

Hi @BuxomHobbit! This small baby is very sensitive to heat & light stress, 600w hps is quite violent for such a young seedling. I would wait until the plant has developed at least 4 « medium size » leaves and a good rooting system, this should be done by week 2-3. For the 10-15 first days you can use a cheap led bulb, I grow my seedlings under IKEA 16w full spectrum bulbs. Hope this will help, keep us up-to-date ánd happy growing 👊

Anytime you like. Autos love light. Just be sure to keep a safe distance from the light to plant. Good luck!👍

I want to suggest you toss this in the trash and start a new seedling. Your yield will be lacking and won't be worth all the time and effort you will have to put into this, you can probably make a healthy one the same size in 10 or 12 days or so.
