Hey everyone I was hoping to get your opinion on how my plants are looking? I planted these Auto Zkittles last Saturday 05/04/19 they sprouted the following Monday and Tuesday. I just checked on them, and man they are getting tall. I am new and this is my first grow so I don't know if this is normal.

I am using a CMH light and don't know if I should lower it? Will get better pics if needed, I took more but didn't think about turning the fans off, they were blurry.

Thanks

They are stretching a bit. How high is the light?

At the time of the pictures probably around 28-30 inches from top of the base. I lowered it awhile ago its roughly 19-20 inches over.

Please advise.

Thanks again everyone!

As far as watering I am so afraid of over watering, I worry that I am under watering. How often and how much would you suggest? I've just been giving them a small splash everyday, the soil is pretty dry in my opinion. From what I understand I should soak the pots after the first week, which will be soon.

Im on my first run using CMH. Seems like 18 to 20" is the sweet spot. I love this light. You'll get great results. When it's light to pick up, splash with water. You don't have to water very often at that stage. Once they catch on the veg is amazing with this light.

I've noticed since I lowered the light to other day the plants are slow growing upwards and the first set of true leaves have really grown, and all are working on a second set.

Once again thanks for the replies, very reassuring. They are a week old this morning, well most are, two will be a week tomorrow morning. If you could please take a quick look and leave your thoughts, I just want to make sure I am heading in the right direction.

The first two are of the same plant earlier in this thread with the lighter.

From now on I would like to post some pics once a week for awhile, hope that is cool.

Thanks for the help.

Just another quick update. WOW, since the last pictures I posted on this past Monday and now it is Thursday, the growth is really something else to this rookies eyes! The other day I did lower the light a bit more to 16 inches above the pots, will probably raise it up an inch or so tomorrow. Today I did the first pot water, and made sure to let them drain well. I am so afraid of over watering that I was under watering I think. I've been giving them light water but after more reading realized my faults.

Besides all that I think I got a feel for my tent, and the way to operate it. It pretty steady at 73-75 degrees F with light on, 64-66 degrees F lights off. RH 48%-50%. Fan is running at about a 1/4 to 1/3.

I'll post some pics tomorrow, work was hell last night and don't feel like moving right now, just did a quick dab, plus don't want to open the tent anymore today.

Question. I am growing this in FFOF, when should I start adding nutes? From what I understand this soil is hot, just trying to get an idea when I should start considering them?

Thanks in advance.
