Coming off a couple of CFL grows I really like the way they fit into a small cabinet! I'm taking pics so at some point I'll probably post a summation.

I'm not sure how all the IP tracking is done on pics, etc.... is there a FAQ for that kind of thing?
 
Thanks! Good to know!
 
No way to know for sure, but the advice to tilt the light might have saved my two little boo seedlings. One of them rolled out it's cotyledon leaves and they were curling under. I tilted the light so that they aren't getting direct light....

The other one just kicked off the shell this morning, so we'll see how it goes. The coloring looks good and green so hopefully no long term damage was done.

Thanks for the advice!
 
Tomorrow the seedlings will be one week old. Any advice on when to let the light go back to being direct? It's 100w LED 14"s or so above canopy....
 
You could try the light directly on it now mate,but I'd raise it a little higher if you can to start with say 18-20 inch.
 
Thanks! This is a small cab and 15"s is going to be about the furthest away from the light any plant will ever be....

I'm really second guessing not going with the 50w unit, but time will tell.
 
Just introduce the full light slowly mate,try shining half on it for a day or 2,then hit it with the full light :smokebuds:
 
That's kind of what i was thinking. It will be a bit random over the next few days because I'll be in and out, but I can do several full on then tilt sessions.
