This is my first ever grow, I'm using a mixture of 80/20 Osmocote African Violet / Perlite (from Bunnings) with a 3x3 AC Infinity kit.
I'm growing Superbud, I have one seed sprouting currently in the big 5 gallon pot and 2 more in little jiffy's in a bought humidity dome. I keep a little tupperware over the 5 gallon to keep the humidity high, I'm mainly worried about underside not getting light with water potentially producing mold. But this is the furthest I've gotten without losing my patience.
The light is ~60-90cm on 20% right now and it's working fine, is it safe to keep the light at that height through the entire grow and just change the power? I set up the light bad and it's an absolute pain to move it so I'd do anything to leave it as it is. Here's the current state of the plant

If you open the dome 2 times a day to change the air you should be fine. Or maybe it has a vent?
And they don't need much light to start with so you're good with the dome there too.

About your LED.
You gonna have to get some adjustable hangers at a point, unless you run a specific setup.
It's just one of those things that makes growing less annoying and more enjoyable.

Yep! she is adjustable, just a bit of a pain to do because of how it's setup.

I echo what trygrowup advised. Very solid advise. Good luck and happy growing

Update:
I touched the seed on accident in the jiffy pellet (hasn't sprouted, i planted it earlier today) then put the soil back very gently, the sprouted ones going great i think, misted the soil in the jiffy pellet because it was getting very dry, dried the floor mat of the tent and checked the humidifier levels.

The dome over the big-pot plant doesn't have a vent i lift it every now and then, it's very small it's a tupperware container. But the one with the 2 other seeds does!

Woke up today and she had helmet head! A tiny bit of a nudge and the helmet came smoothly off, no membrame coming off either, just the helmet.
Hell yeah!
 
#10
I'll take a photo of the after of the helmet "surgery" and I just need some help trying to figure out if she's still healthy and a-okay to go!

I have found through trial and error for me it works best to have the lights up high as I can and lift the floor or just the plants.
All my tents have 2 panels cut, one for the roof and one for the floor. All the duct stuff is up top to make room for more weed. Currently have 5 plants at 2 different levels of hight but 4 different light levels.
There is also one of those science things where higher light with more power is better than a lower light with less power.
I tested it and everything.......

Honestly that sounds like a good plan, do you have any insight on the photos I sent? Does she look healthy or is there something wrong

To early to tell

I do have a question on your soil choice. Are you following a recipe or a grow journal elsewhere on this mix. The slow release one nutrition for a 4 month run seems like it is going to be a challenge to balance the nitrogen using 4 4 4 at the same time.
I did find one diary that looked similar online with the soil mix but the journal closed before harvest.

A fellow grower from Aus who's been growing for quite some time on an external platform told me it was the mix they used for their current grow, they're very close to harvest.
This is theirs:

🤣How are we supposed to judge from those pictures.

And yeah if you have different size of plants it's almost a must to raise some of the plants.

I do both because i almost always have different sizes.
But i adjust my light height after the tallest plant and raise the others.
I don't wan't to raise them too much if they tip over. I has happened for me.
But i could also raise them in a more safe way.

Update:
She is splitting! She's stopped being crinkled from the helmet head. She's doing wonderful, nice and green. No true leaves yet though
 
#19
so the 2 jagged leaves are growing out, but one of the first elliptical leaves has like flopped, it's still green but idk what caused it
is that normal?
 
#20
Yeah they can look all kind of strange to start with.
