Exactly, less room for error.
I'll post pics soon, i had to lower the lights to 24-25" some of the seedlings on the outer rim of the light were starting to stretch a little.

Week 1 is done and it looks like we have some good growth. It appears my woman's miracle-gro gdp is the biggest plant so far but things can change day by day.
I got something growing next to a blue dream, in pic below, I'll yank it up soon.
They all got a good soaking today
Lights:
bp3000, bp1500
Light height: 26"-28" from tops of plants
Environment:
Temp ~ 70.9°F - 87.6°F Avg 79.6°F
RH ~ 49.4% - 95.6% Avg 71.9%

Gonna follow along, looks like you're off to a great start so far!
Very cool! I'm interested in how this turns out. Prove us all wrong and have that miracle gro be a monster! hahahaha.
I see you've got the sticky bug catchers out already. Do you have gnats? If so check out any of the BTI products out there. I particularly like this one and it's organic. I've used it many times in the vegetable room/outdoor space. Just mix it up on days when you water, couple applications and they are gone. Definitely follow their instructions for dosing and how many times/days apart.

I had them as a just in case these soils have them thing and now i do have them but they are not bad, yet. i'll look into it but i might try hydrogen peroxide mixed with water since that is a product i do have in house but if it fails I'll get it.

Your plants are looking AMAZING so far!
Fungus gnats go from "they are not bad, yet" to "Holy Shit where did they all come from" in a real short period of time. Buy the stuff to treat them now and get rid of them before they destroy your plant's roots. I use Mosquito Bits and the yellow sticky paper.

Another week has passed and they look as if they doubled in size :smoking:
I have been keeping them "heavy"-ish, every other day i spray enough to keep the tops a little moist and every 3 or 4 days i lift and see if they are half the weight from where they started if so they get a little more water to keep them heavy, no measuring just lift science.
Lights:
bp3000, bp1500
Light height: 23"-25" from tops of plants
18/6 schedule
Environment:
Temp ~ 72.7°F - 86.2°F Avg 79.8°F
RH ~ 51.7% - 85.3% Avg 74.8%
