If it's just for one seed. 23 watt 6500k bulb will do. Just keep it 3 to 4 inches above the seed when it pops out. If you don't have a 6500k bulb 5000k will do. Best of luck with your grow.

That depends on how many seedlings and size of the space.

Healthy Seedlings?Do these seedlings look relatively healthy? Anything I should monitor? Just trying to be extra careful since it's my 1st time and they're really fragile
They're 2 1/2 days, 2 days, 1 day, and freshly sprouted. Their size corresponds to their age, all growing at a similar rate.Week 1

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

First time Growing questions- Which pot and soil should I use?
- Should I germinate seeds between wet napkins or plant them straight in soil?
- I live in a hot place (30ºC) – grow indoors first then outside? (cant grow indoors)
- Can I water with tap water?
- How often and how much to water?
Thank youOther. General questions

Seedling Height? See diary entries for a better idea.I couldn't find any real answers on this one. How tall should an autoflower sprout be? My Gelat.OG Auto is 2 days old and over 5" tall. I know it's a light issue, but how tall should I expect to see? You know, a reference point of sorts. Thanks!Setup. Seedling

Correct DWC water level for seedlings and throughout growth periodsHi everyone. My net pots are in 5 gallon buckets (see attached), sitting so the bottom 2-3" of clay pellets are submerged (dashed red line). The seeds were sprouted in rockwool.
Is this the right water level? When do I start dropping it to promote root growth??Setup. Seedling

Light Burn? Mars Hydro TS3000 at 30% Power, 26 inches away per manual. I have since raised back to 30 inches.Is this light burn? I noticed some slight yellowing/crispy looking leaf at day 11. Light is about 30% Power, about 30 inches away. I previously had it about 26 inches and raised when I noticed this issue about 24 hrs ago. Pics are updated.

Adding More SoilShould I switch from fabric pots and add more soil or just add more soil?
My plants are a tall in the sense of they seem really stretched up. I moved my light closer, but I think the lack of dirt could also be hurting them. Any ideas or recommendations?

How hot is actually too hot. Too many mixed answers around.So I am fairly new to the world of indoor growing, my grow room is the best I can do with in my current situation (limited space) and hasn't had a snag since it sprouted two days ago through soil. But today it hit 93F in there and a leaf started to droop down slightly. Tips?Setup. Seedling
