Just wanted to share my exciting news: my Platinum Kush has started to sprout! Now, I’m turning to you seasoned growers for some advice on how to ensure she thrives. What can I do to give her the best start possible?

Don’t over water the sprout. Be patient while it is growing. More is not better when fertilizing.
Have a good grow.
Tell something about your grow. What kind of light, what is your medium (soil, hydro, peat blend), what are you going to feed the sprout?
LITFA is important to understand as well.
@ReikoX has a tutorial.

Watering is the biggest issue most people have, usually too much. Good rule of thumb is to never water more than 5%-10% of the total container volume in one go e.g - 1 solo cup = 500mls (approx) 5%-10% = 25-50mls at a time.

Another tip is to wait an hour or two before going to add more water. It’s especially helpful when your soil has gotten to dry and has become hydrophobic.

Light, nutes, temperature and humidity.
Here’s a solid video by Bruce. That should cover the basics from the nine cardinal parameters, proper pH, DLI, etc.
This is great reference material, he covers pretty much everything, and the search function is very useful.
