Potentially dead seedling

I think so but i am a bit worried about whether the light is too strong or not. I dont really know much about it and its hard to figure it out. Ill take pictures so the light color and intensity. I noticed they stopped doing well after i put them under the grow light so during the day ive been putting them in the windowsill and at night i put them under the grow light



Thats the grow light and how much it lights up the room they go in at night

You can download a free LUX meter fir your phone. LUX isn’t ideal… but at least I can five you a LUX range for seedlings so we can check that.

Seedlings should be 5000 to 7000 LUX

Ooo ok ill be sure to check the out. Im using leds btw. Its full spectrum, but idk if thats good for them or not

So i tested both the windowsill and the grow room. The windowsill only reaches 2000 and the grow light only hits about 350 to 500. We have another grow room that we’ve been developing qnd it reaches 5000, but its has to be about 6 inches away to acheive that

Yeh, was afraid of that. Seedlings might be fine but you ultimately need more light.

I had to accept the reality myself in the middle of my first grow and spend some $$ then just to get the minimum light

I have two(2) 100W input full spectrum LED light fixtures. Vivosun 1000S to grow 4 autos… barely enough but good enough for me.

They were about $125 each on eBay.

Looks like you’ll need to lower the light significantly if you want your grow to progress because you’ll need like 25000 just for veg.

Welcome @Lex I’ve seen them like that. Definitely be patient and listen to thes guys. They speak the truth :100:

25000??? Im gonna need some new lights lol. I also need to get a humidifier anyways to help with humidity later on so. Obviously i need some better equipment. Do you have any light brands or anything you like to use?

Yes at least that much. The sun is like 90,000 on that same scale.

I’d prioritize lights first. All I know is what I have so there are people on here that can suggest better… but beware some are very costly.

Maybe they can jump in here.

Ok so I’m gonna start 3 more seeds . Theyre xtreme haze regulars and I dont think I germinated the last ones right so I wanted to ask for help from the very begining. Im keeping my sprouted one and I’m still trying to germinate the others, but it has been 2 weeks so im not sure if theyre viable or not. Does anyone have any advice for germinating? I dont want to do it wrong again lol

For light suggestions HLG is the most popular here give us the size of your space and your budget and someone will help you

I figured out the light situation. I bought some really good led full spectrum grow lights and they reach pretty high for lux. For my seedlings, how often should i water them? The soil looks dry but idk if i should water them
