    Default First grow, need some advice

    Hey ya guys,
    im new to these forums and as it says in the title its my first grow and i need a few pointers.
    first off I'm using bag seeds, i tried to germinate 4 seeds and only one took, so it went into a small pot using coconut husk as a medium, one of the big blocks you soak in water.
    as a light source im using a 20w 1300lm cfl, i know its no where near enough light so im looking for a couple of 42w cfl but cant seem to find anything over 23w here in Australia, ill just have to keep looking.
    The one and only seed that actually cracked and had a root, came though the surface of the coconut about 5 days ago, for 3 days it was slowly getting bigger and slowly tracking the lamp as i turned the pot and it got to about 1.5 cm and started some very very small leaves sprouting out the top, over the past 2 days its stopped growing all together leaves and height, i think its struggling a bit, my first thought was the lack of light but its not stretching at all, i think it might be the medium..... but i have no idea, any help would be great.

    Cheers guys.
