Ok. I am looking at other peoples photos. Short and bushy, I know photos can be misleading, Mine are looking really tall in comparison.

Latest photos. In soil 5/24 - first lights 5/26.


If they are too tall, how do I correct this?

Thanks.

Look fine to me. Can always plant them deeper when you pot up

That is acceptable? My mind set is in trees as far as transplanting. Tried to grow fruit trees when I lived in AZ..... Trees require the transplant a little above the hole.

Thanks for the tip on that.

If you have T5’s run them 3 inches above your tops and that will help with the stretching

I have been letting them dry out a bit. Not dry/dry but mostly dry. Sometimes it's just a mist as those peat pots can hold in moisture. I try to water before lights out however I am at work most days when the lights go out so I have been watering at lights on. Also using additive lights (again when home as I need to set timers) hope they are not too much for the seedlings.

I may look into the auto drip that my tent company offers. IDK... already into this over a grand. All these electronic components I am afraid of next months electric bill. This is suppose to save on my weed bill

What are T5's? I am about 12 to 18 inches, if I had to guess, above the plants. I have the FC3000 EVO light

I was way too high. Damn my eyes are off. Brought them to 11" from the light. Maybe 12", hard to get an accurate measurement with a tape measure.

Fingers crossed this helps.

Oh shoot... never thought of that. Was thinking more like a light rain as they would in nature. Oooops!

Thank you! I will stop.

You want to water at lights on, and not every day, those peat pots look soaked, You have your light 11" above your plant tops? What are they dimmed at? At 11" I am pretty you will fry those seedlings.

Made adjustments... Here is the latest.



The red light on the left is a deep red additive light. Plants a little closer to that than the main in the middle. That is suppose to be on with the main light, but will be off today as I cannot turn it off via remote. The timer needs set.

Fingers crossed this will be ok till I get home tonight. Gotta head out. Thanks so much for all the help!!!

Those red light are not needed or used for seedlings, my understanding is they are used mostly for flowering, your Mars Evo is a full spectrum light.

I like that roastie pot
They look fine. I have one that stretched almost twice as much as the rest.
I would plant later deeper into the pots so edges of pot can protect lower half of seedling from blowing fan. There's also multiple ways to support them later - no worries

Yes keep the little ones close to the light like stated above. I don't spray mine ever. When they love the light the leaf reaches for it :)
