I can see you are full of ideas.
Yes, seedlings are cute little things.
I bet they will work though to be honest it's just the amount of coverage. What size is your area?

I'm in. Brought a bowl of Panama buds. You'll love this.
I've never grown before and the only thing I've smoked is tobacco. Lets change that.
First one ready for liftoff.
Great first picture - MIssion Control, we have liftoff
The IP65 50W appears to be rated at 4,000 lumens (250W standard light bulb, 60W flourescent)
That's a lot of light for seedlings.
I don't think that 2x50W lights will hurt them, but depending on the distance there might be too much heat from 100W.
How far away are the lights from the top(canopy) of the seedlings?
Do you know the temperature at the canopy?
P.S. You don't want to bury your pots in the SWICK. They will be OK for 3-4 days, but after you get back you should probably lift the pots above the perlite for a few days to let the soil dry out. From what I have seen (and done,) the #1 reason seedlings die is too much water.
When plants are in veg, you want them to grow roots more than anything else. To grow good roots, they have to go looking for the water. After they grow good roots, they can grow good buds.
Hi Rad,
I got the email about this message last night and was up checking on the girls a couple times through the night. They seem to be doing ok for now. I'm willing to change/adjust whatever is needed to be successful.
I don't know if the ratings of the lights are accurate. They could be but it's China ratings. Lol. 50w Chinese equals 33w in the rest of the world. I am clueless about how much is enough light and would appreciate any more guidance you can offer.
The temperature has been staying around 27c/81f.
Top of the plants are 3 1/2" to 4" below the lights.
These are strangely shaped pots, labeled as an orchid pot. They're pretty short for the diameter. I chose them because of the extra holes in the side at the bottom in hopes that it would allow the roots to breathe. I have fabric pots ordered but they haven't arrived yet. I think they are sitting about 1/2" into the perlite and the water level is another inch or more below that. I can raise them or add more perlite if you think I should.
This is all new to me, although I have spent the past few weeks reading a lot and trying to absorb as much as I can.
Seems I jumped to some conclusions 81F and 48% RH right there at the plant level - excellent.
I have seedlings at 81F and 53% RH right now. I wish I had learned that 3 years ago
Orchid pots! Burried 1/2" deep in perlite to make good contact with the soil and water 1" below. That is exceptionally good use of the SWICK.
Sorry to upset your sleep. You have everything well in hand for the next week or so.
