Is growth normally this slow for seedlings? Any advice appreciated.

Tom6667started grow question 4 years ago

These 3 seeds (of 12) germinated March 19-21; I transferred them to coco coir/perlite soil under 40W full-spectrum grow lights I also use for garden vegetable seedlings. Lights are on 16 hours; off 8 hours, and the seedlings have barely grown in the last 10 days. Is this normal?

U should keep your lights on longer try 18/6 or 20/4 I use the 18 on 6 hours sleep during veg, seem a bit small but still look good

I have noticed (paranoid?) that there is a bit of a pause or slow down when a young plant is setting its first true leaves. I assume the plant is focusing on growing roots before heading for the sky.

Is It Safe to Direct Humidifier Mist Above Grow Light in Tent Setup?I want to place my AC Infinity humidifier outside my grow tent and direct the mist through a pipe into the top of the tent, as shown in this diagram. However, my SF1000 EVO light will hang directly below the mist output. Could this cause issues?

Stretchy seedlings...worried!Hi, I have 5 seedlings on day 7. 2 of them are going fine but the three from ditch passion were very stretchy though. Likely due to having the light to far away. Take a look, any advise would be great. Cheers all!

Buon giorno weed doctors, please help understand the issue, maybe smb has seen this before. I lost two seeds of the same cultivar to the same symptoms...TY Two seeds, same cultivar, 1 week difference, both pop neck bended with white woody spot at the base of one of the cotyledons. Doesn't spray the leaves, the membrane wasn;'t getting off w/o help. And I know it's not substrate - 2 other breeders germinated 100% and look healthy. TY

Maintaining VPD I've got my photoperiod doing well in a 2x2 tent. I'm trying to regulate my VPD with what I have on hand. Currently I'm running my exhaust fan for 8 minutes every hour to get an average VPD around 1, but I'm concerned about the swings. Am I micromanaging?

Cover seedling for increased humidity?1. Does it make sense to cover the seedling with a cover (bottom of a plastic bottle) to increase humidity or should i remove it (e.g. for better air circulation)? 2. Should i switch on a fan that moves the air a little bit (pointing it above the plant)?
