11 day old Pineapple Chunk, Dinafem Moby Dick, and 2 bag seeds. Not 1 fan used.

And I ain't lying. My fan, which was annoyingly loud, broke. Thankfully. I leave a few flaps half open and make sure all the vents are leading outward and open, so air could passively get inside my 63x30x30 grow tent. I'm using a 600watt MH right now dimmed to 450watts, made by Apollo horticulture (the purple ballast). Anyways, look at how the babies are looking... this is the first time I've got this far without my seedlings falling over from their own weight since I need to find a real physical store to buy a small personal desktop fan to strengthen these broads necks.

Suggestions? What would you do? I'm thinking that either the bag seed I used was either genetically superior, or that cafe bustelo pot is the pineapple chunk. It's growing taller, though that may be because the can is taller. But it's also widening more than growing taller, as are all my plants. Is that natural at this stage in the game, and are these still technically seedlings or are they vegging now? I know, I know, a lot of questions. But I'm really excited. I think it's time to plant these jiffy pots somewhere, there nowhere near the size of the regular pot and cafe bustelo pot. I guess root growth is that fundamental this early, wasn't expecting them to take off like this.

Would you use a co2 bag? My temps never get higher then 90F, and never lower then 60F. In fact, with a window fan turned on medium blowing towards the tent on the other end of my room with the flap half-open, my humidity (I have a humidifier) is 36% and its 79F as of this post running at 450watts.

I'm really excited so people post something.... ANYTHING!! Thanks you all

so far things look good.try to keep the temp closer to 79 than 90,it'll help your babies grow quicker.
try to be patient and dont overly love your plants,because when youre new to growing its easy to mess things up by trying to do too much for your plants.so dont over water and overfeed.
and make sure you have things ready for when they need to be repotted.a co2 bag might be ok,ive never used one,but if you can get some proper air flow in there it'll be better.

Nothing too exciting yet. I am a newish grower, so someone correct me if I am wrong, but I think you are not supposed to have a fan on them until they go into veg stage. Should just have good airflow but no direct airflow if that makes sense. That being said I dont see any problem with the no fan issue as long as air has been moving enough to replace the tents air every few minutes, just get one before they go into veg mode.

Ok so these are currently seedlings. Like I said the passive air intake and exhaust has worked some fine, unless my plants look abnormal (and you've stated they don't) I was surprised given the hoopla surrounding air and ventilation and all kinda of intricate ducting and arrangements that look more like a home improvement project than a grow! But I'm not of that skill level yet lol
