Im not sure what to say... Your using a 1000w for germ and early veg? Waste of electricity man not to mention a large majority of seedlings cannot handle that kind of light. Buy cfls for the first couple weeks at least. And did you really dump the other germinated seeds? That doesn't make sense at all

them look pretty small for 18 days,my pounder sexed on day 19 and was 3 times that size,might b fried at 75% of 1000w,....definately stunted somehow

those are nice plants, whats size is your grow area? theres alot of plants there, mines almost a few days short of 2 weeks old now, and i see the inner nodes/branches already growing out, seems these autos are stable cuz mine almost all look the same!

hey bro, and everyone else.... first 2 days i had them under cfls, after they all fully got out of the soil and spread there starter leaves, then i put under the 1k dimmable system at 50% for 5 days, then i switched to 75 % for the 5 days until today, i just switched them to 1000 watter 100%, the leaves are fattening, they soak up my light and wen i move them and turn em every 12 hours, theyre loving it, i never heard of tomuch light as long as its controllable even concidering hieght and whole 9 but im gettin off track... since theyre autos and usually veg for 3ish weeks im going to give them the light and all the love they need and can handle but as of now everything is growing great, on the 20th ill be giving 25% of the grow big in the soil... stay tuned if youd like to see photos in a couple days just to show you theyre loving the conditions since im trying to boost it up and up and up before veg is over, this is my first run with autos and i want to do more then a couple of experimenting with things but this is how its going so far check back in the other thread now, about auto pounders and think different!

Yeah as long as its not burning them and too hot then it's good I heard a 1000 watt is only like half. As strong as the outside sun on a nice clear day so definenentlymmot too much if there soaking it up loving it and since they started under that they will g et used to it quick. Good job with the 1000 and can't wait to see whats Going to happen with it all.
