Get better soil NOW

Believe you should have done some research before you drop some coin on the most crappiest soil out there even the Wal-Mart $2 bag of soil is better then that crap, but you buy first then ask questions go figure, anyways sorry you had to type so much man nobody really cares about that crappy soil, or whats in it! Too answer your question on the light get more of them, and for flower get some warm white one's as this is the spectrum for that phase of the plants stage in life. If ya read some you would have not made this mistake on the soil, toss out and go to a nursery or hydro store and get organic soil, Black Gold is good and Fox Farms and Sunshine mix #4, there's more but I like the Black Gold, great soil from Canada and well it works for me so far haven't had to add any nutes at 5 weeks old nice and green no burns just vigourous growth rates. Good Luck.

Five weeks!? Your plant is going to have to be fed soon. Yeah breathe, your soil is not great. I find it interesting that Miricle grow Organic does in fact have nutes in it. Organic soil by definition is without nutrients. Unbelievable, no wonder why miricle grow is the worst soil for growing pot. I am not sure though if such a minute amount of nutes will cause fert burn but, is up to you if you want to keep seedlings in there to find out. Also, those pots are not the greatest either. I would get clay pots or plastic pots if I were you too.
