I don’t usually measure the ppfd, but it seems ok. If you see them stretching, just bring your light closer, or prop them up on something to get them closer. Unless you can use the heat, then you could just turn it up a little.
#5 started stretching quick, so yup.. lowered the light, turned it up just a bit 8-)

pretty great though, 5 seeds, 5 germed, 5 popped... shooting 100% so far!

@PadawanWarrior Well lets see I turned the light up to 30% because one of them kept stretching... then watered the whole cup (won't water again till its very light)

Looks good. Ya I see the stretching. What was the intensity set at before you turned it up? Did you get a quick LUX reading before and after?

Was at 25%, turned it up to 30%. Was at about 100ppfd now at 170ppfd according to photone app on my S7. Really need a real light meter i guess but can't afford it rn.

I get a damn good idea with my LUX meter app for my S7, :)

Crazy if it almost doubled just raising it up 5%. My S7 gives different results based on how I angle it.

7/18 (Day #7 veg)
Watered entire cup of soil... last grow I waited till completely dry, only watered near seedling & the middle part of soil never held water again. Trying to avoid that this time.
Got a small fan going well above canopy to toughen stems up

Any suggestions??
