Plant seems small for day 11 seedling

EastLondon · Jun 15, 2020

Hello guys, first time grower here, my seedling is on day 11 since germination and looking at pics of other people’s day 11 seedlings it seems like my plant is growing really slowly. I’ve had heat issues in my grow tent, up to 35 degrees celcius or 95 farenheit up until day 9 when I bought an A/C for my tent. Now temps are more along the regions of 25-28 degrees C / 77-82 F.
I fed them nutes for the first time on day 9. Any help/feedback/advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I think the problem is your light...

Hmm do you think so? I’m using 320 watt led lights (claims it’s 1800w but actual wattage is 320). I have 2 of those 320w led lights over 2 plants each.

About 25 inches from the plants

Oké should be good. What about your airflow?

Can you define which light is it?

I’ve only got a carbon filter fan for air outtake but no extractor fan for air intake. When the A/C comes on the whole tent starts sucking in because the A/C is removing all the hot air from the tent

I have 2 lights
They are both phlizon brand
One is 1800w - actual wattage 320
And the other is the cree led cob 1200w light - actual wattage 275.

Do they get straight hit from AC?

That’s a relief man, it’s my first time growing so I’m very inexperienced but like you said give them another week and hopefully they grow alot bigger.

No A/C blows in opposite direction to the plants

^ That’s the cree cob led light I have, even though it’s lower wattage it seems to be doing a better job than the standard phlizon 1800w

Which brand of grow lights do you recommend?

Mars or Vipar if you want it easy and cheaper. QB if you have more money and space...

If you can, pack them and get your money back and buy something which is already proven to work good for our purposes... the cob light does not look bad, but that two “1800W” are not worth that money...

They are very small and something is not right.

Here are mine at 14 days today exactly.

Your lights are not great as mentioned so this is a massive factor.

I'm under 600watt MH 5200k
