Thanks for the help bro I've watered round the side about 100ml water in the 11ltr pots that about right also sprayed the top soil
To keep it moist like you said upped the lights to 400watt Hopefully by the morning there up and yeah I thought I may aswell keep the light on 24/7 just until they came through and growing least 4 leaves by the end of the night say midnight I'm gonna switch them off for 6 hours and then at 6am start the 18-6 Cycle sound about right?? Setting up
Exhaust fan tomorrow and I'll have it outside tent with ductin leading into the grow
Tent say at the top?? So not blowing on the plants??? Will
It matter that the extractor fan is leading out the top but the other side of the tent??

Your intake fan ( pulling fresh air into your tent)- if you can put the duct tape down til fresh air comes in just under your pots, then it'll pass your plants on the way to the top -where your exhaust fan is ( the hot air rises to top).. hope this helps..
happy growing

Ps. Your extracter fan is fine on other side of your tent.Plus cycle starting any time you wanna is all good.. Kp it simple, doing great .

Thanks mate I've gone and brought a 250wAtt CFL because I've heard it's better for seedlings and clones bUt I'm only going to use this for the first week and half then switch to two 600watt hps do you think this is a good idea or do I stick to the 400watt hps 3 foot away I just think there gonna end up
Stretching to much but with CFL they won't

Lower your light as close as possible ( put the back of your hand under light @Canopy level-above plants and if it's not too hot then it's same for your plants) .. remember they're tough weeds and will adapt quickly to most environments.. so far.. so good..! Happy growing

Looking good man! Definitely want to keep the lights as close as you can without burning. Use the hand trick as mentioned above and the stretch will be minimized
