Im glad to just wish it was the seeds i payed for and not the freebies lol.

Yeah hopefully it will. Im just curious how close can u get the plant to those t5's without doing any damage

 

[imtoasted]

Like four inches is the closest i would put them

 

[CaliBoy559]

Ok cool ill have to measure the distance when i get home after work

Hey man...noticed the length of the stems...is that a concern..I got one right now that long and lanky!! Im new to this and im not sure if this is ok. I was told on transplant to bury them??

Its not to big of a deal i mean its not ideal but its just when the stems are long like that they are alot weaker and not strong and sturdy but its early on and and got plents of time to fix via support for the stem or planting deeper

Seedlings are resilient! You can turn on your 600w led. Just put it up high and lower it gradually. I've started seeds under my two 450w panels. Idk the true draw but they are bright. In my experience the longer you have a seed under a low watt light the longer it takes to acclimate to a larger light so normally I give them full light as soon as they pop, just higher up. Clones are more sensitive to light and humidity. I've never put a humidity dome for seedlings. Good luck.

Pretty close, just move it a little closer each day.

Ok thanks how many inches were u starting off your led from the seelings?

I don't really measure it. For seeds I just put on the higher side of the manufacturer recommendation maybe a little higher then what it says on the website. If your worried about it you can always double the height the manufacturer recommends and lower it as the plant grows. I normally just do a trial and error type thing. If I see stress I back off. I just transferred a girl from under a 25watt t5 to the panel and they didn't like it so much but when I start seeds under the panel I never have any issues.

Id recommend around 30 inches for seedlings and if they are stretching too much move it a couple inches closer

Yeah i think im just going to switch on my led and just pay close attention

Yeah the book that came with the light reccomends 30 inches so ima go with that

Yeah i figured probly like an inch or 2 away like cfls?

 

[Pennywise]

Maybe not that close, try 12" and watch them closely if they show signs of heat/light stress raise it a little

I was reffering to the cfls lol but no im gunna turn on my led tommarrow instead of the t5 and start at 30 inches because thats what the manafacture recommends

---UPDATE---

Ok so temperatures outside my humidity dome but inside the tent are.
60% humidity & 72F

inside the dome is 74f and 66% humidity with both vents fully open.

so yesterday after work when we were talking about using my ped instead of the t5 and i guess i had did it yesterday but didnt remember i did lol but temp was like 80f and like 90% humidity in the dome.

So today i turned on my exhaust fan on the lowest setting

And thats how i got the temp its at now so ive just been monitering it and making adjustments to get it where i want it. I also added this exhaust duct because before i had everything closed up in there.

NOW for the seedlings.
Blueberry #1 is now 3 3/4 in. Tall

Blueberry #2 is now 2.5 inches tall

Blueberry #3 is now 2 in. Tall

The soil temp on all seedlings is 72.5F
And leaf temp is at 74F on all
