I dunno what the hell I'm growin'.....guess the strain.

DAY 5 One pot showing signs of life. Gave few drops of water. - PPFD 200/RH 75%/Temp: 77/VDP 0.6 - I put the 6" oscillating fan on low, above the light. Light is 24" away.

very happy 🥳 i was starting to think "Fast Buds" isn't so fast 😉 do u think i should move light below 24"? Light specs says keep lights between 20-27"/for germination., says seedlings 16-20" away, 300w. - they are on 18/6, (off Midnight-6am) i may skip watering tonight and give it in the AM.

With led lights, less is more. I don't know what your manual says for intensity and such but I'll tell you what I do.
I have 3 tents and 4 different brands of lights but I run them all the same.

Seedling - 36" - 20%-30%, if they start stretching/getting lengthy then I turn it up a notch.

Veg - 30" at 30%-40%, I let them grow to 24" and move light back up to 30"

Flower - first couple weeks I leave light at 30%-40% and then on week 3 start turning it up 10%-20% each week until the plant shows me its had enough. I let it ride during the middle of flower at higher intensity and then start lowering intensity toward the end of flower.
I run around 24" height in flower.

The further the light is, the more area it will cover.

If you want or need lights closer, you may need to turn intensity down to compensate.

Get the Photone app for your phone if you don't have it, I aim for 150-250 ppfd for seedlings.
It's not 100% accurate but I use it as reference for what my plants like, I know my seedlings do good when the app tells me they're between 150-250 ppfd.

Here is link to cycling intensity in flower I mentioned above.

Thanks for the info. PPFD is 200 right now. This is my light specs below, as long as ppfd is correct i'm good. i do use the photone app to check it.

Those manual specs are way to much, you will torch your plants if you follow that. My manuals says about the same but I'm not even close to that.
It's actually a common issue that comes up on this forum quite a bit.

Yes, I noticed this yesterday. I turned up the light power and they didn't like it. Watered a few drop this morning just to moisten soil. 6" oscillating fan is on above the lights just to move air. Here they are this morning. How do they look? I noticed those cotyledon leaves were curling down, that normal? PPDF 170 / TEMP 80F / RH 74%

They look good.
Be careful overwatering in this stage and make sure to let it dry out a little before adding more water.
If you're using a spray bottle, try not to get water on the plant.

They are closer to the soil, which is wet, so humidity will be a little higher right where the leaves are.

No spray bottles. I do drop by drop, don't want to overwater. didn't water last night, and only gave them like 5 drops of water each this morning and i see they got taller already. - humidifier is running/RH 75%/temp 80F.
