Brand new to the site and a new to growing. Not really sure what I’m looking for up here but I’m here for a reason. Doing an indoor spider-farm grow tent and an outside run. Ready to learn and grow.

Welcome to the site. Couple things. Next time fill your containers almost to the top. That will allow the plants to maximize their space to grow roots before having to transplant.

Not sure what setting the light is at but it's probably too close.

Thank you for the advice, I will definitely do that next time. As for the lights I started up at 36” and when the seeds popped the began to stretch. I moved it down to 24” and yesterday they were stretched even more. So when the light went off i move it down to where it is now. Also I have a spider farmer sf1000 which gives 100w with a dimmer so I have it turned all the way down to 0. I didn’t think I should turn it up until the first green leafs come out.

You should have it higher than zero as that is very low wattage output contributing to your stretching. Maybe 24 inches at 50% output to start.

I have three photoperiods in there and 2 autos I believe not 100% sure got it in a free pack. I went up to about 22” and turned the dimmer to 20%. I’m at work right now but by time i get home ill see how they take it.
