Start of week 3! (4 if you count a week of seedling/germination) looking amazing. Only stragglers is the ethos. Everything else is doing amazingly. Next watering will be VBX at full strength. Next week or two might start some defoliation. And for sure topping the ethos. All in all going well. Starting to get a bit colder tho. Trying to mitigate that without bringing in a heater.
Hey guys, we are seeing some pretty heavy stretching, using the optic 4 gen 4, had it set at 25% at 36in. Swapped it to 50% yesterday trying to see if that helps, but anyone have any info using this light?
If the light isn't strong enough it will stretch and fall over to try reaching for it. Too intense and it will burn. I generally keep a low intensity light on my seedlings for the first few weeks. Like i rock a T-5 Full spectrum 2ft light tube over them about 12" above. I let them sprout and grow up towards the light. After 2 or 3 weeks they get moved into their new environment and with the lights being stronger (i use a Optic 2 Gen 4 Veg) i will have them under it with 24" between the top of the seedlings and then light, and 50% power. I'll monitor their growth for stretch, or damage from light intensity. As they progress i tend to increase light intensity with the dimmer, but leave the distance set till they are on their 4th or 5th node. Then adjust the height accordingly.
