This was two plants in a 3 gallon converted in a 5 gallon self wicking system and I had trouble controlling the stretch. Everytime I grow white widow in any size pot it stretch into my lights but I’ll post a photo of my tent so you can get a better understanding later when I get off work.

Now that I have had the new fan setup going for a day, I checked my temp and rH range. I am seeing between 72-79 for temps, which I believe to be pretty good. It is normally in the mid-high 70s instead of low 80s. My Humidity has predictably went up due to the temp drop, I now have a range of 55-65%. Is the Humidity high, and if so how could I lower it?

I am super early in the grow. Seeds were planted March 2nd. I would say Pre-Veg Phase. I was trying to aim for the 50% so it would be easier to lower humidity once I transitioned to flowering. I might give it another day or so without trying anything. I had to water my plants 2 to 3 times the amount of water I usually do to get some runoff for the pH test (I have them currently planted in a 6in pot, way more then it needed). So I think there is just a lot of moisture in the air from that.
Another question for you guys.
How high should I have this light above my seedlings?

I had it 6-10 inchs above my seedlings, but it looks like the edges of the leaves on the biggest plant (like 2 and a half inches tall) are a bit burned. I have pulled the light up to 24in away. I have 4 100w cfl lights around to corners of the tent to, but they are even higher then the led.
@aronman 24 inches in veg and about 18 in flower…but you said seedings how old are they?

The manual will say. Mine is bigger but it says like 36" for seedlings.

I was gonna guess 2.5 feet but 36 inches is solid. @Matthew420 how would you feel about moving the CFLs he has in closer?
@bob31 They are 1 week old seedlings. tallest is 2 and a half inches tall with its second set of leafs already in. The smallrer 2 are about 1inch tall and only have their first leafs.
@Matthew420 Ok, I will go get the manual out and see what instructions are there. As for the cfl lights, they are just the Daylight cfls that are 100w but actual drawl 23w I believe. Link to the cfl lights below:
I’m thinking higher watts should be higher and lower watts should be lower… That’s how I do it…
With the CFL’ you can bring them within a few (3 or so) inches. If it’s not hot on your hand, then you’re ok.
Ok, thanks for the info. I moved the cfls to about 5-6in from the plants. The led is still 24in above. Pic below showing the new setup, but it is potato quality.

Another question for you guys. My biggest plant has a few roots that are visible when I pull the water catcher off the bottom of the pot. Does that mean it is ready for a transplant into FFOF soil? This one is around 2-2.5 inches tall.

Probably but I think you could wait a week or two when they start hanging out but you could ask the pros.
Ok, I think sooner might be better because of the pot. The bottom has plastic that slides into the slits you see in the bottom pic, with little rectangles that almost plug almost all of the rectangle hole. It will be hard for the roots to poke through and hang out of this pot. This pot was not meant for what I am using it for. It is just a normal 6in pot with a water catcher so you don’t get your counter wet (think small herb pot for windows).
As always, thanks for all the help and opinions guys!

Please don’t cross post the same question. I would follow what Majiktoker said in the other thread and disregard my post #38
Yea, my fault on that. I misunderstood the purpose of the grow journal. I was actually reading you recommend someone make a grow journal and put all questions there just a few minutes after I made the other post. Only reason I posted it there was because of the category having “transplant” in it. I am going to go request that whole thread be deleted.
