seedling discoloration, leaning toward center, brown perlite despite no nutrients so farleaves of these seedlings look weird, almost looks like light discoloration, but they also seem to be leaning toward the middle of the box for more light. Also, the perlite is turning orangey/brown, just got a new light and dont have much experience with LED or growing in general

Distance from pot to light during germinationWorried about our light power and distance to the pots, should we be running it at full power with the light higher in the tent or vice versa? Also very unsure about watering amounts in these early stages and is it okay for water droplets to be sitting on the growth? TIA

Wet paper in plastic baggy - outdated dirty practice?The old toilet paper and plastic baggie method for germinating seeds? I did that 2 times around when I started growing my own in the mid 90s. I didn't like it, wasn't resonating with me, obvious flaws. So I started doing it differently. Whats a better EZ method for home/hobby?

Seeds in 12/12Does keeping seedlings just the first week under a 12/12 light cycle can hurt them? I have some seeds that are not sprouting after 7 days, maybe it's because the outside temperature is too low so I decided to keep them in my growbox with my other flowering plants until they startSetup.
