I will take a measurement when I get home. I just put them as high as I could and dialed them in using the dimmer and my meter. I find it's easier to do that way rather then moving the lights up and down. RH in the tent was only at 26 % so I tossed in a humidifier to bring it up to 60%. Also added a heater as the temps were dropping too low so it's now steady between 25c and 26c. I will move these to larger pots this weekend.

I will say that I like the older dimming knob you all used on my P2000 better than the new ones on this model. The P2000 you can dim to any setting so it makes it easy to dial in with your quantum meter. This new one has only 5 preset positions.

They are seedling starter bags. I love them and they work quite well. If you just do a search on Amazon for Seedling bags you will find all sorts of them available. Roots easily grow right through them with no trouble. You plant the whole bag into the next pot and off it goes. As you can see by the second pic, they have no problem growing in them.

Things are moving along the same. The 5 seeds from reputable source are doing well, the other 6 are not. I will continue to leave them for now to see if they turn around but definitely have their issues. So counting the one BMR I had running we got 6 good plants and 6 not so good. Dropping a few Fem BMR seeds from Blimburn seeds just in case nature plays a cruel joke and gives me 6 males, lol. Will also be increasing nutes on the 5 healthy ones tonight.

A quick update. The 5 plants are progressing fine. Increased their nutes and they seem happy. The others, well I don't know what the heck their problem is. May just end up scrapping them. 6 good plants and a few added fems will be enough. I think the only reason I still have the 6 ugly ones going is morbid curiosity. The guy they were sourced from turned out to be dishonest with many folks so can't even say for sure they are BMR anyway. On a happy note the lights are doing well and the good plants seem happy with them. 20230324_162741.jpg

Grow smoothly! The soil in the five pots on the right looks a bit darker. Is it because more nutrients have been added?

Have a relaxing weekend. :bigjoint:
The mutants are getting less nutes and the pic was just before watering them. They need watering at different times then the 5 growing well. The coco itself is all from the same batch so identical.
