Grow light position

I’ve yet to hit 100% power on any grow before the light was in the right range and where I wanted it to be. LOL!
You can use light height to play with intensity and encourage the girls to grow vertically or stay short and squat.

damn, ive been doing the wrong thing so…everytime i sprayed i sprayed where the stem goes into the soil and made sure there was droplets on the leaves…learning as i go thanx to yal… i had another question though, im using fox farm happy frog soil and i have some of rob bergmans seedling booster i dont have a ph meter yet, it says seedling booster on the pack but im worried about nutrient burn…any tips? i just figured if it says seedling booster it’d be safe to use

Happy frog has nutrients in it, so I would definitely check the PPM’s on the runoff to see if they are low or high. Too low, go for it. Too high or within range, I’d wait to feed any further nutrients. A cheap TDS meter from amazon will help with this. Also I read that you don’t have a PH meter, got to have one of those homie or you’re gonna see issues.

can u recommend a decent pph meter that isnt too expensive?

For a Ph pen the best brands are Apera and BluLabs. There are others out there, but they seem to get the most love.
You can limp by on a cheap one, but they tend to lose calibration more often , can be flaky sometimes when you’re using them and will usually crap out in a year or so.
The cheaper PPM pens on Amazon do pretty well.
They’re more or less the same design in the cheapies but the sensor involved with Ph measurement is more fragile I guess than the ones for PPMs.
I use an Apera PC60 which can read it all in one device, but it’s more expensive that the $20 dual packs.
I think it was like $150…BUT I used CC miles on it so it cost me nothing.
Except for the thousands the woman had already spent to build up the miles! LOL!

thanks bro, i covered my seedlings with domes after you recommended it and they already look better and have been watering them around the dome instead of right at the stem…should i poke a hole in the domes?

As long as it doesn’t let out too much humidity. i usually pull mine off so many times I feel like they’re getting plenty of fresh air. LOL!
I usually drop the dome after they start getting their second set of good leaves.

does she look healthy?

Yeah - she’s looking real nice!
For the first couple of weeks most of the growth is under the soil getting the roots up and running. That’s why the dome helps when they’re tiny. It helps them take in moisture while the roots are getting developed enough to support the plant better.
It kinda helps speed up the normal process a tiny bit.
