I am a new grower and I just popped my seeds and these guys are 5 days old! Anyone have any thoughts on how my little guys are doing?? These pictures are 2 different plants. Each plant has 2 pictures of them. And this is also my grow setup for now. I am about to go buy a small fan from dollar General now. Let me know what you guys think20200112_100559.jpg20200112_100619.jpg20200112_100641.jpg20200112_100651.jpg
 
I mean yah that’s not hardly any light at all. Babies that big get at least 200ish Watts
Okay that's good to know. I didn't want to light bleach/burn them with to high of a light that close to the seedlings. I don't know if they needed to be further away or stay where it is. I have a heating lamp that is keeping them in a temperature of 75° degree.

Within 4 inches of the seedling is good if it's not putting out any heat. Any further is going to cause stretch and increased node spacing.

Okay good. It's about 6 inches no heat from that particular light but I do have a heating lamp to keep them in a tropical setting

Let ur plants tell you. If there growing fine kkep it. If there getting burnt raise..
 
Roger that. Thank you
Thank you. How much does that normally cost? Can I go to Lowe's/home depot and buy a ballast and the grow leds? Or can I go to Wal-Mart and get them? Lowe's sales the empty ballasts. And Wal-Mart's have great led lights. Should I get full spectrum or just blue and red for right now?
 
I feel ya. If u have good drainage out the bottow when u water then ag.
Yeah I have 6 holes at the bottom of about .5 inches in diameter. In my mix I have blood meal and bone meal. I watered them this week 1 time with 1 cup water with the plant food and next few times I have watered with regular water am not going to feed them again until week 3 since I have slow activating blood meal and bone meal mixed in with the soil I used.
