Haha damn, getting me excited. Pretty sure everything is good for now, temps at soil level are around 82F. RH is a bit low at 44% but no matter how much I mist it doesn't seem to help, even tried to leave an open container under the light.

My babies will have to spend a few hours in a spare room tomorrow, hoping this isn't going to stress them too much. Would it be ok to cover them with a cup or something so they are in complete darkness, or does it not mater?

Pretty hardy plant that's not gonna hurt it all skurge my biggest problem was germination took days lol

 

[dankstyle J]

Cup if the humidity is low and its still seedling

Sanguine advice with the cup is good

Day 2

Currently 25" from my 400w MH, temps have been a stead 81F around soil height, RH 45-50%. I didn't really notice much growth over the past 24 hours, but I assume this is normal? They've all been around 1-2" tall since yesterday morning, but I have noticed slight growth in the first set of leaves.

I'm concerned that I won't be able to lower my MH that much even after the first couple sets of true leaves come in due to temps. I do have a 400w SHPS bulb that I planned to switch to around 2-3 weeks... Wondering if I should go SHPS sooner so I can get the light lower without temps being too high since they don't put off as much heat.

My pots still feel fairly heavy as opposed to when they were bone dry, but the top 2-3" of soil is almost dried out, should I wait until the pots are bone dry before watering again? I've just been misting the top of the soil a couple of times for the past 2 days to keep it moist. It's been about 2 days since I last saturated the soil, each pot got about 1 litre.

Slow grower at first but then she blasts off

Yea the first week or so is slow. I prefer to water less and more often pot dries out faster and makes it easier for me to judge by weight. Because the root mass hasnt grown into all areas of the pot yet it cant suck up all the water thats out of its range . So i dont give as much as a litre until there maybe 20 days old, but thats just my theory and im still a new grower myself
