How am I looking??

this is my first grow of mystery bag seeds. theyre in jiffy peat pots and to be transferred to planters. i have it under 2 aerogarden cfls and a 225 led panel, 18hrs on. these (girls hopefully) are roughly 8 days old. there are 5 plants. how am i looking? its my first grow so im nervous about fucking things up. give me your wisdom please.

U need more light or closer to ur light, got some stretching issues

The spectrum from your Lite Bright is causing those to stretch a little too much. Look into some CFLs.

Those look really stretched, also, they seem to be leaning towards the LEDs. May be worth using the LED panel over top of your plants, and skip out on the CFLs for now.

LEDs don't really get hot, and can be kept as little as an inch away from the foliage on your seedlings there. That should stop the stretching, and will give you stockier, shorter plants too.

Check out my journal if you'd like, I am using CFLs, and my babies are 8 days old too. They seem much bigger than yours are at the moment (leaf development) but are still really short and as straight as a pin too.

I built a grow room out of a card board box. Cost me next to nothing

The other thing that I do have on my setup is a CO2 distributor (home made too) think this speeds up growth

Cheers, and happy growing!
