Hey guys so I decided to order seeds online and attempt my first indoor grow. I have two ufo#1s and one feminized white widow. Any tips or advice is appreciated! Also my light isn’t the best just a bar led light but I plan to upgrade with high pressure sodium and metal halide.
I started germination on 11/3
And 11/4 all had tails and I planted them into organic & living soil.
And on 11/8
They’ve all sprouted/sprouting
These are the ufosA0BC5ECE-9638-4893-9AC2-1C3388EB1628.png1BA5FF6F-7017-455B-B640-B36E14D027ED.png
This is the white widow

I haven’t gotten a humidity gauge yet but where I live it’s very humid.

higher humidity is fine during the vegetative growth stage as long as you have lots of airflow, but come flower time you are going to want to have a way to bring it down. I try to keep my rH at 50% or below during flower. high humidity during flower is asking for bud rot and powdery mildew.

Keeping seedlings healthy for the first few weeks is probably the hardest thing for a new grower. As others have mentioned, overwatering is the #1 mistake new growers make. You'll get a feel for it as you go, but one thing you can do is fill up an identical container with the same media, but leave it totally dry, then you can lift up your seedling and the dry container to compare the weight. You can start doing this once the seedling actually roots out and has some leaves. Until then, let this little lady dry out, and then just water the area in a circle under the leaves. The part of the pot without roots will stay wet longer because the plant isn't drinking from it yet. Check back as you go and have more questions and good luck!

Thank you for all of the advice! I’m going to definitely try that out.
