Hello The seedling will take light in through the stock at this stage. The light it gets now will stop her from stretching to much. Good Luck. Chuck.

More light now will encourage her to start growing and opening up. I would put her under it now, but careful not to place it too close, seedlings love light but kind of the way NASCAR fans enjoy car crashes-- at a distance.

Seedling with yellowish tips
Hey this is my first grow and I would appreciate some advice. My seedling is starting to have a light color/yellowish edges. It is under a Spiderfarmer 1000 quantum board (100ish wats) and about 20'' from the plant. The temp is around 80 and humidity 40-50. Is this normal?

Wet paper in plastic baggy - outdated dirty practice?
The old toilet paper and plastic baggie method for germinating seeds? I did that 2 times around when I started growing my own in the mid 90s. I didn't like it, wasn't resonating with me, obvious flaws. So I started doing it differently. Whats a better EZ method for home/hobby?

Lamp distance from seedlings? PPFD uploaded in this weeks photos.
How far away I should have my lamp from my week old seedlings? I think it has something to do with the PPFD for my lamp (TS600), but I have no idea what it means. The lamp is set right at the very top of my tent now and is 32 inches (81cm) away. See photos in week 1.

Guys- I think I have a bad/deformed seed. The second set of actual leaves are starting to come in but they are very small and confused. See picture and let me know if I should scrap it and start over or let it go. Today is day 7 above soil.

Seedling looks the same for the last 3 days.
I don't know how this works, but let me try. My seedling looks almost the same for the last 3 days. Is it ok? or it is a sign of something I do wrong. She spent 1 day in the bucket at 24 degrees Celcius (75F) Is it called a shock or stress?

seedling discoloration, leaning toward center, brown perlite despite no nutrients so far
leaves of these seedlings look weird, almost looks like light discoloration, but they also seem to be leaning toward the middle of the box for more light. Also, the perlite is turning orangey/brown, just got a new light and dont have much experience with LED or growing in general

Cutting the bottom of biodegradable pots ?
And when I will put them in the large 30l pots within 1 week, I am thinking of cutting the bottom of the biodegradable pots (because I have read that sometimes the roots have trouble getting through). Is it a good idea ?

Seedling looking sick/weak/sad, please help.
What could be the reason why the White Widow seedling´s cotyledon leaf and the only 2 mini true leaves shrunk and look a little bit less alive? Background: 4 days after sprouting I removed the wet plastic film , day was hot (86-91F). Light 30 in from the canopy. Stems looks ok
