Yah for my seedlings I use a the same htg light sandman showed you and I keep it just a few inches away until they get some leaves and go under my cmh. Lights with them being about 16” away
Skinny stems but at 10 weeks old

tbh that's why I grow cheap beans from nirvana and seedsman etc and run the freebies. Still better than most smoke I can get locally and I don't feel as guilty killing or screwing em up. For example, i wanted 12 for my flower room.... i start with 20, get 18 seedlings, 3 runts get culled, 15 to veg, cull the 3 slowest, etc. Then assume you will lose 50% to the female/male ratio and.... yeah I feel like I'm killing about 50-75% of all the plants I grow anyways
.I'm finally feeling like I should run some of the genetics I've been 'saving' over the years. All these new flavors from Esos and Useful look appealing

mine rarely stay under my t5 for anymore than 2 weeks. after that they get tossed under my mini suns and let them grow.

Yeah I had figured I would've killed my first round but they are still growing. Update I moved two outside and kept the the girl that was prospering more. Going to start a new grow Ina few weeks. But I'm in search for a cheap grow tent. As well a good cheap flowering nutrient. I have a decent light for two plants so I'm going to try with two this time. See if I'll have better chance with two instead of 10 to 6 to 4 lol. Again limited on funds and just starting up a hobby. I started this set with seeds was thinking of trying clones any input?

Clones/cuts to me carry a big risk of infection, I'm not in an area that would allow for easy trading. The Mars hydro tent I have is "ok" but I wouldn't get another, it is very flimsy and thin feeling compared to my "Agromax" tent.
I use the gh 3 part formula right now, it is pretty inexpensive as long as you avoid all the supplements (just get cal-mag + base). dry fertilizers will be the cheapest (I like maxibloom for my DWC at the moment)
lets see some fresh pics of the girls! how are they looking with a few weeks of time on em?
I got what you recommend and it made my ladies super healthy and showing me some love. I put the two smaller ones in my garden. And fed them with maxibloom since they should've already been at that stage and bam they started to flower. Thank you for that. The smell from them intense. I have kept one girl indoors under a fluro light she's doing great I shall post some photos here in a bit

light, moisture and air circulation
nutes are optional.....without air circulation they wont even survive
Yes that's what they receive. I just need to get better at my lighting schedule I think I'm going to invest into a timer so I'm not messing up.

Bring the light a bit closer ( just a couple inches), try to get a steady light fan breeze on those stems......
