I would wait at least another 7 days. I normally start with only a single 28w T5 for the first two weeks and then up the power. Always air on the side of caution especially with such a young plant👍

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?

When to pot the seedlings?Hi! When is the best time to plant the jiffy pellets into pots? They sprouted yesterday, and are doing nicely in my propagator. Should I plant in pots now and keep them inside the propagator or leave them a little longer? Or just plant them up & put them inside the grow tent?

Identify the seedling?Anyone experienced enough to identify what the TexMX strain might be (bag weed that was awesome from Xmas '19)? It seems like Indica to me, but I am a noob.

Seedling help It’s day 2 of this seedling’s life, but look how tiny those first set of leaves are, and it doesn’t seem to be growing much. Do I have a dud?

First time grower, trouble with pythium I have a 5 gallon mesh pot with coco Loko, if it is true that the plants damping off had pythium, could they have possibly tainted the coco loko medium that was in the tent ?
