I’m also in the “slow as you grow” club… I tend to experiment almost every new indoor grow in some fashion. This year we got a kitten (Felix, aka Little Shit!) that gets into everything! So this grow (3-weeks from germination now), I decided to setup my girls under a T5 in my 5x5 tent in the cellar with manufactured heat generated using a portable 1500w Pelonis heater setup in front of my intake fan. Temps stayed in the mid-70’s and I added a humidifier (the tent is near my furnace so the rh can be pretty low down there naturally, I got it up to ~40%, not great but enough till they can get big enough to produce there own) As it turns out I made a bigger omission of a good decision using straight dense organic compost in my 4” seedling pots (same compost but new as I used in this past Summers outdoor grow for my veg/flower, I used Happy Frog during Summer for the seedlings though)… I believe the compost may have been to hot and to tightly compacted, lacking oxygen for the seedlings and stunted them temporarily and causing the light green leaf affect you see in the photo. Tuesday morning, I picked up some FFOF and Down-To-Earth 4-4-4 and mixed 15 gallons of each compost and FFOF with the 4-4-4. It’s now been about ~48 hrs and I already see improvement. I’m intending to manifold these ladies and maybe experiment with a little “Schwazzing“ when defoliating later… but they gotta get taller than that b4 I can consider starting the process. It is what it is of course, but it could be a little longer veg than my normal 8-10 weeks!

@bam0813, sorry I didn’t respond sooner but given my own ”Oh crap” moment lol and having a fairly different setup… I didn’t feel like the right or at least the 1st person that should respond. I use an old school 1000w HID light and different soil options… regularly! Lol 
Seems I’m always fiddling with a “proper” soil source. I really need to start making my own, but to date have lacked the indoor room to get started in the Winter season… Anywho, though I may nod my head that your girls maybe a smidgen small in height as you stated, they certainly seem healthy enough… I see the yellowing on the tips, but could just be those fancy new Diablos you got. Lol Beautiful lights but really powerful from all my own research. That tip yellowing is what I might expect if my MH was to close. Just stay the course, learn those light nuances and adjust as you go imo…

Today was her first watering and i tweaked the 200W led up to about 50%. Within an hour she stretched and leaned over so i topped with soil for support. After and before water:

Been using the aloe to figure out the light. At first it had the Hawaiian tan but i think i’ve got the hang of how bright led’s are. Now i gotta figure what to use fresh aloe for.

Aloe is the shit bud. I hear it’s good to add to water for germ if you do that. Wifey uses it like lotion daily. Killer for sunburns lots man
They obviously prefer it sunny and over 70. Kind of counterintuitively I soaked them pretty thoroughly yesterday even though the moisture meter didn’t show them all that dry, and they seem to like that too. Stinky little rascals. Will fill a bag with soil today and warm it up before transplanting the one in the keg cup tomorrow. The three Waziri repros now in the bags are definitely shorter than the windowsill plants I tormented last year although both are/were on the 7th node -

I have a huge mother aloe, thinking of using some as a foliar spray.

Cracked two more (why grow just one), the helmet head needed a drop of water on the hinge. Got the humidity up with a small humidifier.

Temp and humidity are in the green, close to outdoor late Spring. LED still around 50%. Maybe take some clones for outdoors, if theres a female.

Ok… topped for (4)… “T” trained and everything defoliated from nodes below 3rd. One more topping to 8 colas coming, then a little more individual (2) head on each side lst training after the lovely ladies get there… After that I‘ll just let them go till they’re tall enough to flip. (22”-24” from soil)

Still playing with the led, turned it down to about 20% and moved down to 24”, 18/6. Humidity up around 50% with a little ultrasonic, temp still mid-60s. Watering the keg cups when they get below 150g, they drink about 10ml/day. Thats 10 grams for the metric challenged.
