[Grow Journal] Closet grow 1st attempt indoors

Hmm didnt know all that. I mean i do give them about 30min to an hr a day of sunlight and just the t5 24/0 light schedule. I thought they were to close to the light like now i dont want them sesitive seedlings getting any light burn. I have about a week or so till the 300w led comes in the mail then that closet t5 will be replaced with it and use t5 strictly for clones and seedlings. I guess 1 more t5 wouldnt hurt its only 54w, I read seedlings only need 3-5w ea till they hit veg and ill eliminate all the stretching when i transplant them before flowering mode or in middle of veg idk. This is my 1st indoor grow, last grow the single plant was done strictly on sunlight and it was still stretchy a bit but ended up doing pretty good later on in veg. What are some suggestions to keep the streching down with out burning the taller seedlings and to be close enough to new seedlings?
 
Found a way to get everything all nice and in uniform for best use of the light and will allow a hr sunlight from the window sill till veg. Once veg 18/6 light cycle and under 300w led and maybe 1 or 2 sunlight. But they seem fine amd its cruise for next week or 2 i believe.. Just water and checking ph

Just checked my babies today and noticed some nice root systems! The seedlings that were put straight in clear cups to the original 2 that were transplanted to the cups. they seem to be loving the space and environment.

Hey T, I didn't notice the clear cups before. My understanding is you want to avoid light on the roots, so while it's cool that you can see the root system in a clear cup, you want to keep those cups inside a dark colored (opaque) one when not specifically examining the roots.
 
Whats going on loner? Thanks for that info i thought i heard it somewhere and i literally just noticed them yesterday when posted that i guess ill do red solo cups next time and be transplantting those to an opaque container asap! Might just spray paint them for now as a quick fix or wrap ducttape around it or something thanks again for the heads up. What kind of issues can occur from light exposure to roots?
 
I think it's a stress factor. In other words, it may not kill your plant but it can affect how well it grows and, ultimately, your yield.

Alright cool, well thanks for the info i remedied the issue with wraping them with electrical tape. No more roots showing and also got all my iteams in the mail cant wait to see results! How far do you suggest to keep leds from seedlings?
 
Ok so i got my ph kit, clone root gel, and led light in mail this week right in time for the veg stage next week! Here a few pictures please leave some feed back and let me know the best way to utilize this space and make it more sufficient. Ik i need an exaust fan to remove static heat from the lights instead of just circulating it in the room. What is to hot for these plants? I dont like going above 80 and perfer a steady 75 degrees i have my max and min temps in the range of 10 degrees i know stay withing 15 degrees for best but what are you alls thoughts?

My only grow was outside so I'm not the one to ask but I think 18-24" is the range I see kicked around.
 
With leds they do best at 78 or so for veg. Since leds make less heat to help with drying of root zone plants do better with a lil warmer temp.

Hey everyone just got back from spending some time with my family for my b day today! Right now im about to rec. Vlog upd
 
Hey T, if you click the "post link" button (next to the camera, just above "Write something...") and paste in the YouTube link, it'll embed the video in the post. Some people prefer that to following a link off-site, especially the more cautious/paranoid types. Might get you some extra views.

Edit:
I totally missed the birthday part of your post... so much for those speed reading classes!

Happy birthday!!
