I’m a complete novice and need all the help I can get!! I’ve managed to sprout my seeds, they are about 2”. I put them under a 400w and they just dropped!! Too close I suppose??
Thank you, I took them away and put them back in my heated seed tray.. there now fine again but I’ll try again tomorrow!!If that's the only light you have raise it up away from them until they perk back up.i would be about 30inches away if they are droppy already.welcome to the farm :)
So does the seed tray have a smaller light or is it just in natural light ?Thank you, I took them away and put them back in my heated seed tray.. there now fine again but I’ll try again tomorrow!!
It was just in natural light... soon as I put it under bulb they droop!! Tried again tonight but same and they were a good way off the light!! Back in windowsill!!So does the seed tray have a smaller light or is it just in natural light ?
Are they in soilIt was just in natural light... soon as I put it under bulb they droop!! Tried again tonight but same and they were a good way off the light!! Back in windowsill!!
Yes....Are they in soil
Yes....Was there a done over them
Just shock then..put them undrr the light and spray leaves a few times a day with waterYes....
Hi, one is out of the two, but the light is costing me a fortune, is there any alternative!!!Are they still alive @Jbkb17 ? Have you gotten them out from under that 400 watt whatever you’re using?
Hi, thank you.... can I get these from eBay???Hey Jbkb17 I'm new to this site too, I've always browsed, I've never been a fam of social media. You should go to Hydroshop and buy a 2ft 2 bulb fluorescent light l. It's about $20. Put them in a tray with a dome and set the light over it. You can open the vents on top if you want, your 400w is too hot for them
Yup I got em on amazon and t5 good solid advice for starting plants. But t5 will only get you so much in flower. It doesn’t have penetration power which is what saves seedlings under them. If your 400w Is hps that will be fine for flower. You always want a breeze between the light and tops of plants. Also at seedling stage you want a light wiggle on plants. Not strong wind. That wiggle is what builds the strength in your stalk. No wind no wiggle no stalk. You end up with a sprout shooting for the sky on a paper clip sized stalk that can’t support anything. A 400 w shouldn’t really show in power cost but to keep draw low I run a combo of t5 with led. But leds are tricky and misleading if you got a hps 400 and get t5 to start em you should be good for 2 plants. The hps is pretty reliable compared to led.Hi, thank you.... can I get these from eBay???
