They look good, don’t look like your over watering or anything. Keep it up.

Thanks guys… not overwatering has been my toughest obstacle for some reason. But every time I think I want to do it, I think slow down…they’re doing good. I’m just beginning to barely see some traces of roots around the edge of the plastic cup. I think maybe another week and then I’ll transplant. After I get to the 5th node I want to FIM and begin LST.
Good plan. When in cups i usually watch the leaves. Once they reach over the edge of the cup, u should be solidly rooted. But clear cups tell the story even better

@PurpNGold74 Leaves over the edge, that sounds like a good rule of thumb to remember… thanks!
It’s amazing all the little things I’ve learned here… my brain is running out of room!

@dbrn32 I have two of these lights for my 2’ x 4’ x 5’ tall grow tent.
Do you think that’s good or should I have went with something else entirely?
Like the qb 288 or a diy of some sort?
I’m reading lighting posts and second guessing myself…
Two of them probably not too bad. If you already have them, run a couple of grows and see how you do. Chances are there will be new shit hot light out by then anyway

@dbrn32 okay thanks man… who knows what the future holds. I’d like to get to a point where I have separate rooms for veg, flower, propagation, etc. I’m jumping the gun I know… two weeks into my very first grow but it’s hard not to daydream about it!

Okay so I’m such a newbie… everyone says be careful to not water too much at this seedling stage.
Then people say the runoff pH is very important!
So you see my dilemma?
I let ‘em get good and dry then I watered to runoff…

Day 8 after sprouting from soil.
Watered WW1 & 2 to runoff.
WW1 - pH water was at 6.53 - runoff 6.08
WW2 - pH water was at 6.53 - runoff 6.05
(I think) my plan is to wait a few days until they dry up and then adjust pH Up to 7 to get a runoff of 6.5.
Also: the new BBa seed I set to germinate finally popped out of it’s shell. Planted in soil.

Hopefully I don’t kill them!
P.S. I have a batch of your special soil mixed for when I get them to the veg stage.

Maybe I better go apologize to them and give them a pep talk.
You don’t water seedlings to runoff either. Small amount will do. Watering to runoff and testing is more of a troubleshooting method for diagnosing problems when you’re in an amended soil.

Success comes from experience, experience comes from mistakes…
I intend to actually be good at this one of these days…

You want to water a seedling as pictured below. There’s a lot to take in I’m sure all the info ran together. Seedlings don’t get run off. They don’t need much water and water 1-2" from stem to avoid rot. You start watering to run off really when you start adding nutrients during veg state. Just pH your water going in.

@TXCanna thanks, that helps. I bet this is something I won’t forget! I don’t think anyone told me wrong, I think it’s just all bleeding together.
