Day 14 since dropping the beans:

My new DIY LED COB light fixture threw a curveball at me........... TOO much heat!

The air temperature in the tent was fine but I noticed the growth was really slow so I started checking things; the humidity was a little low but not that low @44%. So I got my infrared temp gun out and discovered that the pebbles and rapid rooters were running at 93°F ....... ouch. The light is so intense compared to my previous LEDs it was heating the surfaces of the net pots too much. I have corrected the situation by turning the outer COBs off and turning the center 4 down to about 60%. I definitely have light to spare in this small tent. Remember I built this light for my future larger grow room. Here are some sad pictures; hope they get over it:

Good thing you got to the bottom of things quickly! I got a gut feelin they're gonna pull through this...

Coffee Monster:

Thanks for the encouraging words.

I have a lot of experience (over 40 years) growing organic vegetables, flowers and fruit outdoors. I germinate a lot of the vegetables and some flowers indoors starting in February to transplant outdoors in late March early April and over the years I have killed many seedlings with one mishap or another. I don't remember ever getting any of them too HOT. The COTCs don't look injured just stalled and so like you I think they will pull through. Time will tell.

Thanks,

I am not happy with the way these seedlings are progressing - Not! I have reordered the seed and if these don't perk up by the time the new seed gets here I will be starting them over
