Please help: First time grower

[Rhys777]

Good day, my germinated seeds were all planted indoor after sprouting taproots in paper towels. They were planted in an organic mix from my local plant shop. Watered with purified water and put to rest in a nice warm grow room. The next day two of the plants had sprouted and standing about 2 inches high so I turned on my lights hoping they would all pop up. It's been 3 days now and another 2 have come up but the remaining ones seem to be struggling and not much happening. Have I done something wrong by turning on lights too soon or is it normal for some seeds to take longer. They all seem to have lost their seed casings but not much more happening from there.

Hope to hear some feedback

Thank you That's the one that popped up quickly, should the others eventually pop up as well?

 

[BeanTownFan420]

The more light you give them right away the faster they bulk up and stay short and stout if they stretch you can put soil right up to the first leaves they are called cotyledon leaves or embryonic leaves she will be fine.

 

[Rhys777]

Perfect, thank you. I really hope the others sprout up fine as well

Yeah they will be fine. In nature they will sprout under the sun so you should be good to go. The others may follow and pop they might not. Just keep them moist and hang in. What strain are you growing?

I bought seeds online, they are 1 x skittlez glue, 5 x royal queen and 5 x afghani roadkill.

How would I tell if the seeds are dead and further germination/sprouting won't be happening? Is there a way?

 

[Rhys777]

These are a few pictures of the plants I think are not going to make it, am I correct in assuming so? After how long should I take it they won't be growing into big girls?

 

[Lerugged]

Give them a few days. They all popped so if you don't over water or get too dry they should pop up.

Hey guys are these kinds of lights legit or something to steer clear from?

No idea. I'm rank amateur with lights. @Pennywise or @Old Salt or @stoneotter or @neikodog could probably get you on the right track quick snap. We are going to get you growing like a pro in no time.
Peace

I have two 1500w Yesense or something like that from Amazon. They worked well for me.

 

[Pennywise]

1500w seems unrealistic for the light pictured. Have you looked at Mars Hydro yet?

 

[Lerugged]

Call in @SmokeSara . Take it away.

 

[StoneOtter]

Yea the 1500 watts advert kind of gives it a look of their trying too hard to sell this light to me. I agree with PW to look in the Mars site. They price well for a good light. Look around here.

 

[Pennywise]

A true 1500w led is going to be 4’ square. The light pictured looks like a 250w quantum board.

I read about this all the time. It's a bit cheeky to be honest

 

[Pennywise]

It’s an old tactic used back when leds first hit Amazon.

They used LEDs that when you add up the maximum they can take, add up to 1500W. That's OK only if they also tell you how much power they draw from the wall. If they don't give you that figure, stay far away from them.
