No more than three feet max........this panel isn't designed for it IMO...........height is at 16 inches atm, see how she responds and go from there

Patience is virtue. Glad to see another baby break out. Looks like the shell case is still hanging on, hopefully sheds off soon. Hey, what's that little crystal ball looking thing in the mix off to the right of the seedling?

Yeah ...............I let the girls do their thing/ she will shed her hat eventually...........good eye puff, it's actually encapsulated fish emulsion(local nursery/where I get my soil said its brand new/ no packaging another "freebie") supposedly enriches the good bacteria in their soil which I nuked anyway(doh)....put it only in the one smartpot for testing:)

Day 4.............001.jpg<<<#1 Yep I've got issues, no growth.....seems stunted by the light/ or the organic trf/genetics IDK.....gonna try to save her/ had my doubts since the beginning..........

#2003.jpg....finally got her shell casing off, and looks weak and exhausted..............this is not smooth sailing004.jpg stopping co2 and may raise the lights or cut back the panel to growth phase(23w) till I see improvement......#3 nada

Thoughts???? need help here........

Edit: Raised the light to 18inches from 16inches, lens angles are wide so this may not fix anything IMO....Maybe too much red spectrum/ I'll wait a day and cut it to growth phase........

I think you can def try put it at 23w. Doesn't mean it will solve your problems but you can try this first.

We started around same time :D ...my little ones sprouted yesterday, they were under a propagator (turned off), as soon as I removed the lid, they all bent over. I put the lid back on, they are going upwards now withing a few hours (my light is 34w, distance is prob 10").

Maybe it's nothing to do with your issues? Are you making sure you are not over watering also? Is your medium retaining too much water things like that?

Sorry am just trying ... am not an expert grower at all ... am sure you will have it all figured out soon! Good luck fella!

How do you feel about raising the humidity levels? I believe seedlings enjoy something like 60-70%? I would also try the early veg mode too.

Medium: 50% cocco/ 30% organic potting soil(microwaved/fu gnats
)/20% perlite......soil ph at 6.9-7.0 / runoff at 6.7ph
Click to expand...
you ve got an interesting mix here, but It's def a delicate matter... if I am not mistaken you are watering it as soil .... when the coco should usually be watered ph'd 5.8/6 ... again am not an expert ... may be puff knows more ... or is anybody around that knows about coco soil mixes?

(am also assuming you are not giving any nutes yet)

Surely noted.....was thinking my rh in the mid fifties would suffice due to a sealed room...

Yeah was warned about this medium choice by a few people.....didn't listen and will probably be chasing Ph swings.......no nutes, just aerated water....thanks fellas:-)
