@COOPER84123 welcome to forum! Can you be more specific on your lights? Where did you get it?

Fsgtek 600w led from Amazon. Works great

Are these stretching or is this normal growth

No idea what this is. Stretching of seedlings indicates light needs to be closer.

When transplanting up, slice that outer mesh or the plants will stall out. If you have soil other than from Fox Farms or Roots Organics get rid of it and get cannabis-optimized.

The picture provided. Is that stretching. They’ve been growing damn near an half inch a day. It’s been about a week since they’ve sprouted in the puck. I have the light 19 inches away

@COOPER84123, unfortunately those burple lights won’t get you to flower stage.

You need to bring that light down to around 20" and keep checking her for stretching.

I bought one of those burple lights from Amazon too, the wattage is false advertising. However using it to me through veggie stage, but have the 1500w one.

I will likely keep mine, but I bought a MH bulb set up to get the job done.

If you need help with lights, we can tag some people

Your light:

“F600 LED Grow Light only consumes about 105-110W” from Amazon

It is not going to be sufficient to veg more than one plant and is nowhere near enough to properly flower. Just an FYI: you have some time before you need more light but in the meantime drop it down to reduce stretch.

What means are you using for checking PH and TDS? If you don’t have anything currently; now is the time to acquire them. Apera makes a good PH meter. Your use of distilled was right on although concerns with distilled scavenging nutrients from seedlings is possible.

A dome is your best bet. Mist the dome with distilled twice a day; that’s all they need.

You’ll like coco. But you will be supplementing everything they’ll need. Have you picked out what you intend to use and did you include cal mag?

Until established I’d have lights on 24/0.

I would suggest 3 gallon or 5 gallon fabric pots. Autos should go into final home at transplant.

I have the fox farm trio
Was wondering when to start to use it. Some say 3 weeks. Some say 3 sets of leaves.

Just checked the pucks, i have a THICK main root shooting out from each bottom. Keep in or trans into another. Only say because my 3 gallon pots are coming in a week. Wait or transplant

3x3x6 I sprouted 3 just in case but 2 at most. Some have said my light is underpowered. Can I add another? Or just return for higher draw.

If you can return the lights for something better. I would do so now, you can get by with a CFL for sprouts. They really are not doing photosynthesis yet. I would worry about shipping delays, so maybe order the new lights first and wait to return. If that’s viable.

Can I just add another?? I’m kinda sketchy on mh and hps. I dont wanna burn down my house,but i have no idea about alot of it. I could benefit from added heat(so I can just run my exhaust all daytime.

I run hps with a fan blowing on it and I cannot get my tent above 70°.

Any link? I dont wanna spend a good coin on it. I’m not trying to make a god strain here. I just dont know where to start on that stuff. Can I just get a bomb ass led??

I don’t think anybody will push you one way or another on lights. Each person has a different opinion on what they like best. Just search the site for light builds and you will come across so many brands and builds. Just take 20 mins rummaging this site and you will see all the light brands and what’s best for you.

guidance is all I seek
