@Firsttimer420, I see what you trying to do with the feed , but don't lol ! No nutes the first two or three weeks bro you're just gonna stress or kill the seedling - very common mistake to over feed or feed too early. Best you can do is buy a kelp extract and calmag supplement and spray it on the leaves every so often

If you put your hand over the plant and after 25 seconds it feels too hot, then the lights too close.

@Teamdirtbag2, no better let a little bit of 3rd degree happen just to be safe...you know how if a plant grows up into the light it like ckmpletely disintegrates? That's sort of what I'm thinking about, that is the only way to be really certain how hot your lights really are. I mean science and a thermometer are great...but nothing beats knowledge gained by ER department injury. 👅 🏪🌡️🔥🤜🧠🤛

Second week and still in solocups=? i fear they are not getting big girls. If you have questions just ask, if you answer with an @ in front of the growersname , otherwise no one sees your answer. Or use the reply arrow to answer the person. you look in the right crner bottom of your screen there is alittle "paperplane" if you click on it, a private section opens, search for the growersname and you can chat in private if the plane is green someone written to you

@Firsttimer420, no Nutrients during 3 weeks after a transplant.... 1 week in a cup, then you transplant into 1.5l to 2l pots , and 3 weeks after you transplant one last time into 15l to 20l pots , then 3 weeks later you will be using your supa dupa Nutrients for the first time .... you understand how it works ? Technically it makes 7 weeks without any nutrients.... And this is where you’re discovering there’s a Cold War between Nutrients company using their "feeding charts" as a weapon.... to aim the customers !

Welcome to GD and to your first grow. Normally its easy to grow if you avoid 3 things To much water, to much fertiliser, to near to the Light. Your automatic plants need minimum 18 hours light, you can choose any lightbreak you want. Some give them 24 hours light. but i dont recommend it, Plants have to rest too. Lower your Light, until she stretches not so much.

To answer your question: It looks fine if a bit stretchy, I would try to put it closer, use the back of your hand to judge how close to place the seedling, as long as it feels warm and comfortable, the seedling will be fine. As for tips, be wary of over watering, it is the most usual mistake even experienced growers make, give it no more than a cup of water and then let th esoil dry completely before doing ti again. I strongly advice for you to get a pH meter, and use it every watering (you can adjust the pH with apple vinegar to lower the pH), it will help you avoid trouble further along the way.
