[Newguy420]

I have the lights on 250 watt each at 26cm do you recon I can up the lights to 400 each ? What do you guys think

Sure thing It would be better of down the line
You don’t need it yet as there seedlings but heck yeah throw that 400w up & dim it as needs

Okay so are they still seedlings now then ? When will I know when they're in vegative stage ?
And also would it be wise if I kept the watts at 250 just for another week lol

They not stretched right out so light is fine for now suggestion would be to concentrate on watering and feeding practices as they a bit yellow?

40ml in 10 litres is probably to much at this stage I use the normal canna line and I’m only using 25ml per 9 litres in week 4 of flower do you have an ec and ph pen? bout 1.0ec would be plenty at this stage I’d be giving em a little dry back period when they that young I saturate the coco then leave it 3/4 days untill the roots fill the pot out then smash em with feed

26cm (about 8 inches) is kinda close. 45cm to 60cm would be better. They also probably don't need more than about 50 watts. If they were mine, I'd raise the lights and lower the wattage. Too much light can damage them.
What type of lights are you using?

26 cm huh I thought it was 26” hence not saying anything.

My 400ws are 26-36” away

You mentioned growing slow that could be down to overwatering easy done tbh.

Powerful light

Thumbs up as most buy cheep 100w then end up upgrading. It’s sounds like a good light for flowering albeit I doubt you’ll ever use the full 720w unless you end up growing more than just 4 even then you’d probably need to dim it. Anyways have fun bud

With 720 you need a big space and a big fan....

 

[Galgrows]

If you can't lower the intensity any further what i'd do is move them away from the center of the light more off to the side not in the "sweet spot". Unless you can raise the lamp higher?

I'll show you my set up now

I have raised it now to 36 inches and it's so much better

 

[Newguy420]

This is my set up now

Why not turn off one of those lights, place all the plants under 1 light. Give it a month and spread them out again of you want. Thats overkill for tiny seedlings

I hope this helps them
