First seedling advice please.

This is my first go. 4 are ak47 auto and 4 are afghan kush x super skunk. This is day 5. Room temp is 75ish. Leaves seem droopy. Using fox farm light warrior.

They seem fine but you why do you keep spraying them? I would also get them closer to that light

Should I be watering from the bottom? Friend suggested the spray bottle at this stage.

The bottoms look wet
Stop killing them with kindness and let them dry between watering rounds
Misting is only till the shell comes off

Look over watered to me in potting soil. My guess. But I always start with a starter mix cut with coco 50/50. Then my soil un amended 50/50 before full on hot soil. Sensitive little buggers. LOL. Light is plenty for now.

Close would you recommend? I just lowered to around around 6" above the leaves.

Long time FF guy. Never again. But it looks like over water at the moment. Takes very little the first week or two. I have no idea the bulb or wattage on your light. But it is emitting sideways. Not down. It only takes 18-30 watts for seedlings.

I just want you to succeed. And just impressions as I view. Best wishes.

Thanks its actually just a led temp work light. It has leds facing down also.

Idk about 6", what was the distance before? I just based that on the fact that seedlings look like they're stretching a bit, which is not a big deal, you can take care of that during the transplant.

Just be careful until the plants look better. And 3-4" stretch is normal. And I also bury that initial stem when up sizing pots.

About 12" before

6" sounds about right. Probably 10-12". Start low and raise if leaves get funny.

Thanks for all the help. I have mother earth terra craft soil on the way and larger cloth pots to transfer into.
