New Grower First Grow : Short Stuff Onyx, CFL, Rubbermaid

I would also water at lights out or dust the droplets of the seedlings as it could be scorch

For awhile I did water the seedlings with a spray bottle mist/spray. It did get on the seedlings, and the lights were on 24/7. I guess I will just give them time, and improve on my next grow. Thanks everyone

Day Twelve :

Raised the lights on Day Ten. Haven't watered again since the 22nd. They are still wet below the surface so it should be awhile yet until water is needed.

I think they show a little improvement :

They look nice and happy. You sould expect a growth spurt soon.

Thanks for the reassurance :smoke: Just picked up a light timer today, and ordered a pH meter online.

Nice set up and best of luck with this one and future grows.

Like yrself, being new, I worried and still do with the next generation that not growing fast enough compared to others - but they will take off and you'll be surorised how much they pick up. Great thing about the autos is being so quick it gives a good opportunity to get through them, try a few different things and hopefully work out what works best for you there.

oh, might be time to trade hubby in for a kelpie!!

Hey flwr, cute little girls there! Best of luck with them.
I was just the same with my ER the first week and a half. I was trying to measure growth in 10th's of millimeters... Then after the first true leaves got bigger and started really working on changing light to life, they went BOOM! and now at two and a half weeks I can't even keep track of all the new green. Patience dear flwr!
:smokebuds:

Sub'd!

Ya know, I swore I wouldn't be like that. I am trying....patience, patience, patience lol. I honestly was worried though as it is my first grow, and with the leaf yellowing I thought I had a problem. Which I did and fixed. Can't wait to see how my next grow improves with quality soil :thumbs:

I will be posting an update next week. Not much to report here. Waiting for my pH meter in the mail. The light timer is awesome. Should have hooked it up to begin with. Now there isn't any counting on me remembering to turn their lights off.
