Hello anyone reading this,
In the next few days I will be going out of town for 5 days and I am wondering if my seedling will make it. I think they might, but I wanted to post this to get a second opinion.
I have two seedlings both right around 5 days old. They have their cotyledons along with their first set of true leaves. They are roughly 3" each with one of them having a bit of stretch. My temps are 72-77 F degrees kept under x2 23 true watt 5000k CFLs about 2-3" away. They are also kept on a cork pad that sits on a seedling heating pad that is turned on currently. Both seedlings have a small plastic bag on top of their red solo cups to hold in humidity since my house has been sitting in the low 50s to high 40s. Both bags have quarter sized holes in each corner that I make larger every few days to harden them up. I'm sure that's not necessary I just get really touchy when their seedling cause i have killed so many in the past when I first started growing.
Now my question is, if I move them a little farther away from the CFLs to keep heat down, and turn off the heating mat since the AC won't be on as often as when I am home. (It defaults to 78 F after 24 hours). And I make sure to time it out where I water them right before I leave. Do you all think these seedlings will be alright?
Should I have a friend come and check on them or is that too big of a deal? Should I take a bulb out to generate less heat? Or should I move them a little farther away from the lights? I just added the second one the other day when they grew a little more and started showing their little solar panels more pronounced. I'm gonna unplug the heating mat as it is.
I appreciate whatever you guys have to say on this!
