10 400 watters? 2 400 watt would probably be fine. I'd wait for the 3rd node to swap. Yeah it's normal for different seeds (even the same strain) to grow differently. As for ventilation, time will tell. It's a fun process getting it all figured out.

Hello there,

I also have a 400W set up and I started my seeds in the light. Planted into 16oz cups with sandwich bags over the top for extra humidity (seedlings enjoy humidity!). As soon as the seedlings pop and the coteyldons (2 first embryotic leaves, round no edges) straighten out I remove the baggies. At this point seedlings are actually using photosynthesis, sending sugars to the root system.

PS: During all of this keep the light 2-3 feet from the seedlings. After 2-3 nodes form you can begin lowering and monitoring your changes.
