I know what you mean for my first grow i left the door ope to my bedroom, just incase!! you soon get used to leaving the house though, aslong as nothing that may burn or fall down doesn't cause further damage, should be all good.
good work setting up the cool tube!

lookin sweet Gorbzzz! nice ducting work, i'm getting a new hood for next grow, not happy with the one i got.
with the watering, yeah seedlings usually require little watering, if you point the nipples on the feed rings down into the perlite the rockwool won't get super drenched, it will just get moist, maybe they are squirting the block directly, which you don't want.
was looking forward to these pics good work, excellent to see you utilizing the cooling and ducting efficiently, they will take off very soon!

Thanks Flo! Yeah Im going to point the nipples down now, Just wanted to make sure the water got to the roots because they were so small but now they will have their footings it should be all good. Yeah the ducting and fans are going good, temps are staying around 25C
Cant wait till they take off and I see good improvements daily

grommets don't last long, i buy up many spares, and have heaps of hose so i'm always using clean equipment.

That is pretty close i'd say for seedlings i guess, but you are air cooled, so i think maybe try another 4 inches lower, see if the leaves show signs of perkiness perhaps?
totally up to you man, i mean if you watch them closely you'll be fine you'll know if they will get damaged within an hour of lowering the light i'd say. I think they would love it
If anyone butts in and has a different opinion, go for it i myself have seen a seedling surprisingly close to a 600 but all strains are different.

I have seen seedlings under a 1000w cooltube foot from the light 7 days old so i reckon old gorbz should be sweet!That is pretty close i'd say for seedlings i guess, but you are air cooled, so i think maybe try another 4 inches lower, see if the leaves show signs of perkiness perhaps?
