i changed the bulb that was off to the side to a more compact shaped one , and it is in a reflector also so the light doesn t reflect the side anymore.....do you think i should raise it more and wait? at the moment it s at about 3 inches from the seedling.....so i m asking, it s better to raise it more or lower it more? Temperature is not a problem i have one pc cooler blasting air outside and one blowing at the seedling....temp stays at 26 27 degrees celsius.
Hi, The light height is fine as long as the leaves aren't looking heat stressed.
Are you covering the little sprout with a dome or at least the cut off bottom of a liter soda bottle with holes poked in it? If that sprout is not covered it will have a hard time rooting. It needs LOTS of humidity to help it while it's tender. The little leaves take in humidity and that takes the load off the new root system and actually gives it a chance to root more.
Also if you have a fan blowing directly on it you run the risk of drying it too much if it's not covered (wicking moisture from it's leaves too fast) this could be why it's leaning a bit too. (I'm wondering if it's leaning away from where the fan is?) Otherwise it looks fine, no worries eh?
No nutes are needed at all at the moment. Especially if it's growing from seed. (all the food it needs to start is in the seed)(if it's a clone the rooting hormone will do it's thing and again doesn't require additional nutrients.) I start feeding after the sprouts have the 2nd pair of branches starting to show, and then really really light strength. Smooth sailing I think for you! Happy Gardening! GrowIT!
