Really rough start, lost a few seedlings due to over stretching and not recovering. Growing medium is coco thats been washed and buffered with calmag. These 2 stayed short but I think I let them go without nutrients for a couple days too long. Started feeding yesterday at 1/4 strength. One has white tips on its leaves, hoping it was just from lack of nutes. Tried to use the hlg550 as a seedling light and I think it overstretched, and then I put it too close for a few days (dialed down to 50%). Started some more seeds, they are on day 2 now from sprout, under a cheap LED light, will put them under the big light in a few days? Definately think the 2 GSC were stunted compared to similar timelines ive seen, I think these are like day 10 already lol. Going to feed nutes earlier to the 3 seedlings and be more careful with stretching. I have the light at around 19" from top, dialed to about 60%, hope thats good. I have a lux meter coming to try and match some lux readings from other grows just to get me in the right ballpark hopefully (no par meter). TDS runoff from this feeding was 350. Tap water left out overnight has a TDS of around 170.

How far from canopy for HLG 550 during each stage? After starting with a cheap LED, without getting a par meter I think 18" @ 50% power, or 32" @ full power for veg? Start higher and increase power every few days?

Try not to over think things and par meter you don't need one use common sense the hlg is an easy light to use mine is 3000k, never had a problem with stretching of baby plants, had to stake a couple to support them until the stems thicken, what K is your light? Looking at the pics the height is good and 50% also good. It's not necessary to feed bloom nutes and at that age I still have them under a dome with the vent open. I've had my light at all heights from what you got in your pics (no lower) to as high as 48". During veg the chase for the ideal light height will just do your head in. When it's in flower you start to lower the light to that Goldilocks zone and see what you can get away with, I wouldn't leave anything on top of the hlg keep it clean unless you want to nip a bud and test it 😜 good luck! 🐞

Could be a symptom of windburn, if you have a strong fan directly on them

Totally overthinking, I'm hoping this grow teaches me a little patience aswel :) Its a 3500 with extra red diodes if I remember (hlg clone). Also moved one of the new girls from the t5 led to the hlgs light. Want to see when's the best time to actually use the hlg lol
