Is she not getting up? Otherwise she's fine she should be turning up to worship the Sun in a bit.
Soil looks really wet.. so avoid watering now let the roots go hunt for the moisture in the pot.

Thank you
No prob - now the soil is wet [which is ok] I usually water seedlings from the bottom to avoid any risk of damping off and to force the tap root down

Thank you, she is up now. I won't water as much. What should I do after? Next process, so far I used a bag of soil brought from bunnings, I went through it and took all the shit out which was about 25% of the bag lol. I mixed prelite and worm castings with a bit of fertiliser. I keep her out during the day under sunlight. At night I take her in the garage

Thank you I'll keep that in mind. What should I do if the nights get cold, the day is okay but nights get cold any suggestions
Mulching the soil with straw [or even manure] will help keep the roots warm once the stem is tall enough
If you're expecting a cold snap, a dome overnight will help too
Are they outside already? If not, you'll need to gradually harden them off
Keep her in the sun and she will make you proud.First time growing please help
Great start.

What strain are you growing?
You are currently in spring season with cooler nights, so while she is this small I would bring her indoors also.
The easiest way to get help when you start is to open a grow journal and ask your question there.

nice start. you're good for now. a bit wet but it should still be ok.
you won't need anything but water occasionally for a couple weeks at least. a couple aus guys should be by soon to help with whatever you'll need for nutes etc going forward.
make sure you start a journal.

Thank you, can I please ask another question do you recon I can rise a seedling in the belownice start. you're good for now. a bit wet but it should still be ok.

you can germinate in them, but you'll need to have something ready to plant them in as soon as they sprout. a lot of folk use solo cups for seedlings and up pot as the plants grow.
Like @bluter mentions, those are intended for the sprouting or germination (both sprouting and germinating mean the same thing) of a seed and getting the seedling through its first 10 to 15 days. After that the seedling should be transplanted to a larger container. This can be done by putting the expanded peat pellet into deeper soil which creates more room for the roots to expand into.

Hey @tryinggorw, and welcome to the forum!
Do you have just one seedling or many? What size pot did you sprout in?
Will you be growing in a greenhouse?

Yeah, personally I like to put them under a slight shelter while they are young to keep excessive moisture off them. Also with photoperiod plants, I'd start them ina jiffy, then repot your way up through at least 2 smaller pots before you get to the final one. It helps to build dense roots and protects against damping off. You'll be right though
