Surely noted.....was thinking my rh in the mid fifties would suffice due to a sealed room
I saw the pic of it at 44% so thought maybe closer to 70% might help. Do you have a dome? Also, I usually dont let my fan hit them until they are nice and rooted, not sure if you've been running it or not? As for the medium, maybe try feeding with lower ph around 6.2?

Fuck this phone..........Alright puff........yeah the meter was showing low RH because I opened the door(for pics) and it reads the conditions every three seconds...A dome way ahead of you005.jpg ha, thanks.......hopefully it helps / and it will cut the light output to the seedlings also:)........Ph will be an issue for me no doubt about it......can't change the medium/ will lower my tap ph as you stated........Man this is some way to jump back into growing......the lack of medium evaporation with an led light will take some getting used too........happy growing

Edit: forgot to say that the fan is running on low but is pointed at the led panel, not directly at the seedlings......never used a dome after seeds broke ground under my hids, but at this point i'm willing to try new shit.....thanks again:-)

DAY 5................#1...001.jpgseems to be recovering/pushing new leaves...........#2 Still stretching/ pushing a new set002.jpg......not watering until the bitches are falling over ha...........lowered the light to 12 inches(no response from hans/ so fuck it) see what it does, to me the growth seems way too slow so I'm just adjusting variables until I hit the sweet spot in this shitty setup.............

#3 I'm officially calling it(stopped misting the seed area).......RIP bitch:bigjoint:

RIP little seed. Keep poking around, you'll find that sweet spot sooner or later. Are you going to switch to early veg mode or try to ride it out?

Yep........keeping it on medium power............I have no idea what I'm doing with this led:P......Hans refuses to answer any of my ??(probably thinks I'm psychotic)
I think round two will be much better due to experience with it......I'm just fucking around to see what works...........Thanks puff for the solid info

Hey PSU , I am just sitting here thinking, and I know it might be sacrilege, but maybe a little 6500K CFL action would perk em up? Just to get em going.

You've given them a good start that's for sure, if they don't respond it's their fault. I've only started seeds once under an LED and I stretched the shit out of my first seedling, a SLH which stretches to begin with. I must of buried the stem 3 times. Probably more plant under the ground than above at one time :). The only thing I learned to stop that was to bring the panel closer. But the LEDs your panel uses are so much more effecient than a BS240s, it may be hard finding that sweet spot, especially with the different settings. What I'm getting at is maybe the panel just isn't right for germinating seedlings. It's probably genetics controling their fate more than your enviroment right now, but I guess we'll see.

Man I hate germming, give me some clones anyday :). Happy Growing PSU and BE SAFE!

Day 6.............well they have stabilized, now onto the bad news>>>>#1 001.jpgstretching!!!no progression with the new set of leaves...............

#2.....002.jpg...WTF...I like skinny chicks but damn...........Franjan called it(thanks for your honesty btw)........solo cups removed/switched to growth phase and dropped it to 10 inches to stop the stretch and cut out some of the red spectrum..........hopefully she'll hold up(ha) until the deeper transplant :)

I bought a panel designed for "growing cannabis" so i'm gonna do my best to make that a fruition(no light supplementation ever!!)............bear with me, ill get the kinks out eventually.......My issue with AF's (like mine) is the longer you take to get the grow in order, the yield will suffer tremendously.........Blah/ be safe and happy growing

003.jpg004.jpgno co2 until I feel comfortable with their growth stability...........

DAY 7.......................#1002.jpg<<<Jesus/no progression.............#2003.jpgstretch stopped/popped couple days after #1 and has caught up.............Gotta figure out what stunting them quick or I'm ending up with diddly:)............I like the KISS system but now KISSING my way to insanity.......

CO2 levels are acceptable without candle for this stage(500's average)..........haven't lightly watered in almost four days and no signs of thirst! I sprayed down the entire room(day 1) with neem oil (removed the girls)as a preventative....never an issue before/ IDK..........My culprit IMO is the light, so I'm moving it back up to 15 inches(growth phase 28w) lol/insanity indeed........be safe and happy growing
