Keep the 23 w cfl 3 inches away from the baby seedling. Best of luck with the grow.

start with the lights, you are used to... seedlings until day 12or 14 dont have big need in heavy lights, the cfl is the way to go after the first 2-3 weeks think about setting up your LED

WHAT IS CAUSING MY LEAVES TO CURL? (Day 64 pictures)The leaves at the top of the plant seem to be curling up. My first guess is that there is too much light. I recently moved my light down to 12 inches above the canopy. The PPFD should still be under 1,000, but I don't know what else could be causing it. Please help. 🙏

Light and water Thank you guys! for watering, I don't know how she can react giving her more than 250ml. I can try but I don't want to drown her. For the light, unfortunately direct sun light arrives from 11.30/12 am to 7pm. Before it is covered by other buildings behind my terrace.

New Light? Find a way to raise light? More Fans? Combination? (Light: 44" above ground level | Tent Height: 63" Day avg: 78.6f) Should i worry?What do you guys recommend as far as lighting for this tent? I have a 300w led light but at the height it's currently at it is producing a large amount of heat with my exhaust and two oscillating fans? I also have other plants in with my seedling so could the humidity cause it?

T5 vs. LED for veg?So I have a T5 light, and I’ve used it to veg quite a bit, and it does really well. My question is, should I use the T5 in just the seedling phase, then use LED for veg and flower? Or will the T5 give me good results throughout the veg cycle?
