These seedlings ok?

[OkieSmokey]

My first grow here...I started these 5 days ago in cup of water for 18 hrs, xfer ed to paper towel overnight after that and when a saw taproot they went into jiffy plugs 4 days ago. Last night all of them were about and inch or two tall and I was seeing taproot coming out bottom of plugs so I moved the plugs into cups of coco and watered at 6.0. I put them back in 80% humid tub under 3 1500lumen 6500 cfl. I noticed the little round leaves on half the seedlings (gorilla skittles) are kinda pointed down, is that normal? Also not seeing the pot leaves form on one taller seedling yet. Probably nothing but I'm staring at them freaking out...

The round leaves you mention are seed leaves and no concern if they point down/fall off or not. They all look good.
As far as the taller seedling- only time will tell.

Look good to me - get on growing.

The leaves are called codilina or something like that just leave them. Skip the ancient paper towel method. Start with peat plugs. Paper towel is risky and prone to fungis Funky Shit. I've had a hundred percent pop rate using plugs that's no shit. But then again I get my beans from some of the best straight up breeders there are they love what they do they're not into it for the money msnl or midweek song what their contact just let me know I can hook you up and I'm not getting anything for this just passing on good information

Okie, those seedlings look a little stretched out to me, like they need more light. You may have to give them support when they start putting out leaves so they don't break or fall over...???

 

[Eliot Pryor]

If you can move your light it helps to keep it close to top of seedlings. I use cfl's to start mine and I keep them about 3 inches off the top until I can't raise the light any more then I have to move it. Good growing to you from fellow okie.

I have 900 watts of led to put them under but i read that led were too intense for seedlings?

 

[OkieSmokey]

Ty, I have a 900w led to put them under but I had heard that led was too intense for seedling

 

[alltatup]

OkieSmokey Take a look at this article https://www.growweedeasy.com/tall-marijuana-seedling
GWE also has articles on lights, so look that up, too. Clearly your light is too far away from the seedlings.

I have a 400w LED in my grow box and my seedlings did fine under it.

 

[Weed Pharma]

LED's are fine for seedlings- I grow 100% LED and now the CoB variety from seed to harvest.
Fixture placement is key and avoid the temptation to move the LED closer.

 

[D.A.A.S.69]

You cant hardly beat cfls, on seedlings for the first week or two.
Leds work great to, but you need to get used to them first, or go by what the manufacturer says.
But why waste the electricity, when you can use cfls. For dirt cheap, and seedlings love them, I keep mine about 2-3inches away like
Eliot Pryor does. If they start stretching, to much just lower your light.

 

[OkieSmokey]

I move the cfls closer for a day and then stuck them under the leds last night. They are looking ok I think? Except the one from before still looking strange, putting out a wadded up leaf structure? I started a time lapse camera on them taking a picture every 3 mins, should get a real good idea of what's going on soon.
