Seedling got too much light.
Megawombusstarted grow question 1y ago
My seedling was much too close to the grow light.
Growth stagnated now, it has light burnt leaves.
The light is now further away.
What else can I do to stimulate its growth again?

Hey growmie, seedlings are fragile, but they bounce back quick if you give them a break. Since you already moved the light, just keep things steady now:
Try to keep temps around 24–26°C
Humidity about 65–70%
Don’t overwater, just keep the medium slightly moist
No nutrients yet unless you’re in coco
The burnt leaves won’t recover, but if you see fresh green growth in the center, it’s back on track. Just let it do its thing now. You’re not the first to give a seedlinga hard time, definitely won’t be the last!

Hi, now you can only wait and see if it recovers, but here are a few tips on lighting and how to set it up correctly.
You should set your lamps properly; use the app Photone for this and try to stick to these values:
PPFD: This value indicates how many photons per second hit an area of one square meter.
Optimal PPFD value during the germination phase is 100-250 µmol/m²/s, in the vegetative phase around 400–600 µmol/m²/s, and during the flowering phase at 600–900 µmol/m²/s.
DLI: DLI measures the total amount of light a plant receives within 24 hours. For cannabis, the ideal DLI value is between 20–40 mol/m²/day, depending on the growth phase, so include the number of hours your lamp is on and which light spectrum it covers.
Maybe this helps you a bit for the future.

Let is do it's job and develop. Moreover, let it recover from the stress.
It's not a car. If you hit the gas all the time it won't go faster.
