@PurpNGold74 I put 2-45w vintage grow square lights together to fit the basket length horizontally. I thought the same thing after I Researched Roberts guide and some help on here Bc before I had them 24”to 30” rotating between the two to see a difference and they started stretching so I moved them closer as you just seen, not much of a difference except growth but last night I started to notice a little yellow greenish color and was concerned not being able to decide whether it’s just new growth or the lights? I also only moved them that close (besides the help/research) Bc of the heat not being that in comparison with other lighting? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated and thank you! Here are some pictures of about an hour ago, before they went into their nap…

Nah no burn to be seen. They did get a bit lanky at first. Solid call dropping them.
This goes back to ‘not all advice is good advice’. I had no idea ur setup and woulda led u astray.
They yellowing maybe (spitballing here) a bit of overwatering. How often do u wet the soil? Also does it sit in water after u pour? 30 mins to and hour after tops, then drain the pot holder.

@PurpNGold74 you’re right on that old saying! That’s my top answer also when I seen them…Ok, Since I’ve put them in the soil, I have used a spray bottle with a fine mist and I spray(now count in sets of 10 sprays, go around the top once then make the rounds to the others, then once more and wait to see the water come out the factory holes on the containers. Most the time it comes out just One or two of them and then I stop. I have struggled with the way I water from beginning to end(worried I would Just screw it all the way up)
I would really appreciate any techniques that works for you greatly! Thanks, Mike
Oh And the starter pots I have on a old Coke rack that has a bunch of holes in the bottom of it And I just let it come out those few holes down onto a towel with plastic
