Tishhhhhh Started her in water and then placed her in soil on 7/30. Two days later…hello princess!! 😍 Going to keep her in the dome until the morning to keep that moisture locked in. I will be switching over to my Floraflex 700w light soon. I am very excited. Happy growing!
-I have made some changes after setup of my controller. I have added a humidifier as my humidity was hanging out at around 44 mostly. This balanced out temp so now my growing conditions are ideal. My seedling is still green and doesn’t appear leggy. I added three tbsp of DTE all purpose to the top soil as it hadn’t arrived when I dropped my seed. The lights are about 21 1/2 inches from the canopy. I haven’t watered since July 31st but the soil is still pretty moist from the first watering. I have been spraying the top with water daily.

Tishhhhhhstarted grow question 11d ago
Do you think a 700w light is too much for the seedling stage? I want to make sure she receives adequate light without frying her.

Yes and no... all depends on the setup.
10" hang height at 100% = yes death
120" hang height at 100% = no? maybe
20" hang height at 20% = mot likely fine
Most manufactures give you some basic hang heights and intensity settings for stages of life like seedlings. veg, bloom. They almost all suggest a hang height of somewhere between 12-20" for the most even lighting map with minimal hot spots.
How long the light is on, its intensity and hang height all go into determining how "strong" the light is. 700w is a lot of wattage. but so is 200w if its much closer and on longer.
Look up the term DLI and PPFD. get to know them. Your DLI is the best metric to measure your lighting needs. When I found mine, I realized I was cooking my plants with to much light.I needed to drop down my cycles from 18/6 to 16/8 and adjust its hang height to 30 inches. It has been said the upper limit is 40DLI, I am for 35-37 as the closer they grow to the light. the more the DLI increases.

Tishhhhhh Day 9 and we are coming along. She has her first set of true leaves and her second set is starting to spread. So far it’s been pretty low maintenance. I have been watering her every other day with 60 ml of distilled water with 1 teaspoon of vitality added in. I also increased the light intensity. Not sure the percent as the controller just says 4 but the PPFD reading is at 329-330. Can’t wait til she needs me to tend to her more!
