Open
Leaves. Too few
Setup. Seedling

I would be going to 100% light and leave it at 22 inches. Thirty percent of 135 is only 40.5 watts of light which is barely enough for growth, as you have found out. I grow all my plants in full sun, right from day one, so 135 watts will not be too much light for your seedling. And remember, 18/6 light/dark is optimum! Hope this helps,........ Organoman.

I would say get your lights closer and make sure your temps are around 77'F or 25'C. If your leaves start to curl, pull back. Cold seedlings grow very slow. Take a cheap kitchen probe thermometer and check temp both above and below the soil/substrate. I am also using Pro-Mix Root Booster once a week and it really gets it going. And depending on what you're using as a medium, you might want to look into some stuff called Mycorrhizae, which is basically a fungal powder that helps the plant eat the nutrients in the soil. Lots of YouTube videos, and not very expensive. Cheers and Happy 420!

Well the action is going on down below right now. It's still focused on roots. She may be a little stunted, but if you're careful about not watering too much, she will probably catch up to the others. Starting your auto in her final pot is a good idea, but it makes it harder to get the right watering levels. Still better than a transplant for an auto.
