Starting a journal is a good way to get help.

Transplant when the leaves are even with the side of the cup, they will start being root bound at that point.

Be careful watering every day until you transplant. The roots may be too wet (with the soil+pearlite). You can pick up the cup, and if it's light water it. If it has any weight to it, it may still be wet. Pearlite will retain some water. The soil will retain a lot of water.

In the beginning, you may want your light as high as you can go within reason. Not more than 4 feet. Blue spectrum only if you have a switch.

You may need to put a bottle over the plants if they are looking puny. The roots may need help from the leaves in water absorption.

If you make a post and click the gallery embed (camera icon) above and click on the pictures you want to include, then scroll down and click continue, it will put their link in the post. If you camera icon is greyed out (or you can't see it), click the gear icon.

The tutorials are not done completely for the new forum yet. They are working on it.

I am on a budget. Got the china LED. Maxsisun mds300. I have it 12" from the top of my sprouts. They love it. Going to buy a second one
