start from 6 inches on your light .... wait for that leaf thats curling to str8in up,,, then work your way down an inch at a time... that leave is trying to shad itself thats why its curling

"Daylight" and "natural white" are the two fluorescents that mimic the suns spectrum. Don't get crazy on me. I have "cool white" T8s, which work fine for the first bit of seedling growth. T5s are about 30% moar efficient than T8s. Also, pump sprayers are great for watering seedlings as they aerate the water, and there is less chance of overwatering/drowning your plants good sir.

2-4 inches away from fluorescents
The "bible" by Cervantes/Green and the Handbook by Ed Rosenthal are all excellent reads. Books do a grower good.

Yeah I've heard 2-4, but I've also heard 2-10. 2 inches has worked fine for me with no fan in the past but a small fan couldn't hurt.

Miracle gro=Miracle no
Seedlings dont need nutes just water for about the first 21 days of their life. Then you start with 25% of the recommended dosage. Miracle gro soils usually contain to many nutrients for cannibus seedlings to thrive.

That's complete bullshit, by the way. But his lights are (were) too close, I agree with that. Water droplets burning plants because of some imaginary magnification effect (droplets are shaped the exact wrong way to do this) is not a thing that happens. Total myth. Foliar feeding in direct sunlight can cause a chemical burn, but not water.

But this is a seedling mix from MG, which I'm guessing means little to no added ferts. Not sure anyone has done the research on its analysis, at least in this thread. I haven't.

What? I'm open to new information, seriously. Prove it, and I'm all ears. I can be a huge cock, though, that's true.
I just want some sort of evidence to support it. I have seen it rain while the sun shines on a hot day and the leaves on my trees outside don't burn. Raindrops are convex on top and flat on bottom, the light should be diffracted to the edges of the drop, not the center, so the magnifying glass theory doesn't fly with me, a lens of that type is convex on both sides, right? If I'm wrong I'm willing to learn, that's how I get the strong opinions I carry around in my brain, I can admit when I'm wrong. Show me.

Remember though not all plants are created equal. Check the nute percentages on the back of the bag if any are above 2% it might be too much for the cannibus roots to take in.

I agree, good point.
