1st Grow indoor 4 x 4 tent!

4 x Banana Mint 4 x Frozen Candy 4 x Kool Whipped 4 x Ice Cream Sundae Germination went well, all seeds made it without issues except with for one dud that sunk straight to the bottom of jar of water during part of the germination process, I planted the "dud" to see if it would pop later anyway in a starter seedling container and put with the others under the 19-Watt White Full Spectrum LED light hanging 24 inches from them. I used Miracle-Gro Performance Organics all purpose in ground soil in 1 liter bottles that were cut in half. Temperatures for daylight and nighttime seem ideal right now with about 71 F at night and 77 F during the day. Towards the end of the week I raised the light fixture from 24 inches to 28 inches.

Turned off the 19 watt LED veg light and turned on the VIPARSPECTRA 1200W (actual 540 watt power draw) light in its place, I played with the height of this light through the week and settled staying hanging at 51 inches from the leafs. Added a larger fan for more circulation and to help stress the plants a little with some more air flow to help encourage stronger growth in the stems for better support.

During transplanting they were set on these shelves to display better for a picture, they went back into the 4 x 4 grow tent with the 1200 watt (540 true watt) LED @ 51 inches from the leafs. The plants were moved from half a litter bottles that had Miracle-Gro Performance Organics soil into 1 gallon containers with Total Harvest Control Organic soil. They seem to be wilting from the transplant and I've heard generally the plants don't like moving and can be set back up to a week so will keep an eye on them. Also going to try and reduce watering for a bit as well and see if it makes any difference to make sure the wilting is not from too much watering.

4 weeks in and expecting to see more growth than what it has in terms of leaf and height but both seem stalled. 1 plant especially has been very dwarfed in size compared to the rest at 2 and a half inches in height, the one I featured in the last picture, The bottom leafs turned brown and died (I removed them after taking that picture). 3 of out of the 12 plants seemed especially sick / wilted, from the recent transplant last week I thought the 1200 watt LED light might be too much for them and stressing them further so they were set aside and put under 19 watt LED veg lights 18 inches from the leafs to monitor for a few days with a small fan on low.

Still not much growth the plants don't look as healthy as they could be in general or as big as they should be for this age. Most of the 3 weakest / sick looking plants from last week look better this week to move back into the main tent with stronger grow light (1200 Watt vs 19 watt LED) so will be moving them back soon. Bought 6 clones at 7 wks old and added to the tent.
