Hi all! First grow, first post. I’m nine days after sprouting. White Widow Auto, Espoma organic seed starter in peat pots, pH 6.5 (distilled water only so far), no nutes yet, indoor. Lighting - started with CFL for first 5-6 days, then moved into tent three days ago with Viparspectra P1500 2020 Pro Series (w/upgraded SMD including IR). Temp 75-79 degrees F, 40-50% RH, passive airflow, ventilation installed but not running yet, no CO2 or humidification.
Started great but after a few days growth slowed and leaves pointed down and starting yellowing at tips. I think I was over-watering so I stopped for the last 48 hrs to let things dry out. Also moved lights from 22" at 100% to 28" at 60% just to see if the kids would respond better.
Any advice from this illustrious group appreciated - whether regarding the issue or the post!

Not familiar with that potting soil, but if you’re 9 days after sprouting, it might be too much water early. Could be close to needing a transplant as well. Hard to tell in those peat pods if the roots are sticking through, you’re good to transplant

Yes it’s dimmable. When I moved to tent three days ago I started at 22" and 100%, then when I felt like things were heading south, in addition to stopping water I moved light to 28" at 60% just to see if I’d notice anything different. Watching closely!
