And just for my records, as far as I know, my grows are completely organic and vegan.

Hello hello kiddies. It's been one week so all of these are at Day 7 except for the two Diesel Ryders. The smaller one is a day behind but I am just calling them both Day 2.

>First three pics are the MI5s. One of those(first pic I believe) is my biggest seedling so far. All three are a little bigger than the Duurty Dragons, same age.
Strange though, that one with the yellow-tipped cotyledons is a rather pale green now. Otherwise looks very healthy. Almost just looks like it wants some more Nitrogen, but at 7 days? Any suggestions there?

>Next four pics are the DDs. Very pretty green, slightly varying sizes, looking great. There is a crazy little deformity in that first one I think it is, just a weird shaped leaf, no worries though.

Then there are the two Diesel Ryders, just starting but looking just fine.
Then a couple group shots.
Enjoy folks!

Quite a collection and lookin good! Are they gona all fit in your tent when they hit the bigger pots and branch out?

 

[The Squid]

Well they're all regular beans so I am hoping to end up with 4 or 5 females out of the 9 after they sex in a week or so. I will pull the males out and they will go elsewhere under a couple T5s for the remainder of their life. So I should be good.

 

[Muddy]

That looks like bleaching. How close is the light?

 

[The Squid]

12 inches. There are taller ones than that one and they are all fine.

 

[Muddy]

Raise your light up, it's too close for tender seedlings and is bleaching them. I'd raise it up to about 18" and you should be fine. Once they get a couple sets of leaves you can lower it back down some if they start to stretch too much.

 

[The Squid]

Right on. Thanks Mr. Waters!

Squidherb,
I love this thread, I've leanred a ton from it so far. A few questions about the Sunblaze side lighting. My local hydro store carries them...What is your personal overall opinion of them. I am think they may be an option to add more lighting to my small cabinet grow system. Do they generate a lot or not a lot of heat? I'll be watching this thread to see how you make out with these autos. I'm a fan of Short Stuff, my eyes are on the M15s you got going.
