Being it is my first grow, I am a bit paranoid with anything that looks odd. I am in day 13.
My concern it this. One plant is 2.5in tall with a leaf span of about 1 inch and the other is 2.5in tall with a 1in leaf span. They were germinated at the same time and have been twins with respect to their environmental conditions.
I am concerned with their height or scrawniness. Is This normal or is it typical of a plant that has not had enough light. Early on I was using CFL lights for a few days at 18in(too far I know!), before moving them under my LED COB lights. I was mainly using 1 400W LED COB light at about 18 inches from the tops of the plants(19/5 sched, 100% Veg), with a second light(same as first) turning on for a shorter period of time(50% 8/16 sched, 50%Veg, 50%Bloom)
I gave them their first real seedling nutrients a couple of days ago @ 75% of the recommended seedling dose(General Hydro - Flora - DTW)
I have been struggling to keep the temperature between 75-85degF and the humidity at 70%. I delibertely was keeping the humidity down so that the soil could dry out some from what I believe to be a "too much water" situation.
I asume the size difference is a difference in the 2 strains, but I think I misplaced the labels for each strain.
Bottom line: the two questions are: Does the light given seem ok? Did it get over-fed? Only gave it nutes once.
Or should I get a couple more seeds started to be on the safe side?
