Deadly light! Can’t wait to see how it treats the plants !

@Filthy_Casual your lights look killer and I'd imagine your gonna smash it and nice to meet you

thanks guys I’m pretty excited. There are two things I’m worried about tho.

1) I tend to over help and need to keep myself in check.

2) new lights getting dialed in.
In regards to that, I reached out to the guys at scynce and they confirmed my approach is good for seedlings and I should cycle back towards 50\50 before flower starts then hit towards red. The person who responded said they have even done a full auto grow with the kale and it came out pretty well.

Fingers crossed and don’t hold back suggestions!

Also based on their suggestions and seeing a little stretch in a couple seedlings I lowered the light a few inches.

That all sounds like great advice bro

Alright couple pics on day 2? 2.5? Either way they seem to be responding well and getting the light a little closer helped any stretch on them.

Subbed! Looks like a killer setup. Definitely following along.

Day 7, I’ve knocked the light back to 60% power from 70, I think it was too much, overnight they seem to be looking better as well. So far no nutes, just light water and mist once a day or so.
I am also moving the spectrum back slowly towards 50/50, about 5 % every 3 days. The goal is to have them ready for full spectrum when I move them in about two weeks to the big tent.
Any tips or comments welcome, I get nervous when they are this little! I also introduced a small fan up top to get some air flow as I don’t really run the exhaust too often yet.

Couple photos from after this mornings misting/water.

Okay day 10! Gave them their second ever water, and first with a very light dose of nutes. Prob 20-40% of recommended doses at this stage.
2.5 ml cal mag
2.5 ml emerald goddess
1.25 ml sturdy stalk
1.25 ml a+b

I also lowered the blue spectrum to 65%. My plan is 5% or so every 3 days until 50/50. Temp seems to be staying steady about 78-79

Tips or suggestions welcomed. Will post an overall shot and one close up.

Ive also turned on the big tent, I want to get it dialed in a bit and see how it effects the larger area it is in.

One question I have, how much should I be watering these things? Do I want to water until I see run off?

I split a gallon between them for this first one.

Pots were super light this morning even tho a few tops were still a little darker, I think I didn’t give enough water before.

did 2 gallons at half nute levels of all the same products I used last feeding, then to make sure the pots were full I did about a gallon of clean water.

I’ll post some photos later today when I get a chance, but things are still looking good here.
