First seedlings!

So I think I got to the one i posted too late. It was stuck in the inside membrane and I also over watered it as well. I gave it assistance yesterday afternoon, but It still hasnt budged at all.

I did notice one other seeding having issues with its shell, it kept growing up but hadn't split its shell yet.
Last night I split the shell and gently peeled away that membrane. This seems to have recovered nicely from it. This had its shell on it and pale flimsy looking first leaf set less than 12 hours ago.

You're forging ahead with possible males. I'm assuming you accept that. Further be aware a lot of seeds from bags are from hermies and possibly might tend to hermie. Chemdawg is a good example. A bag seed and it hermied. For a long time it was available cuttings only. Keep an eye out. If I were setting up a RDWC it would be with rooted cuttings from stable females. Myself.

I will start my own clones when possible. I dont think im really a fan of using seeds in dwc. Been looking at my options already and I didnt like what I was able to find about clones id be able to get around here. Lots of pest and disease issues that im not ready to try to deal with lol.

The first one i mentioned in your quote was indeed dead and got thrown out. The second one bounced back very quickly and is now one of the strongest looking seedlings. It was a feminized seed from a bank.
Half of them are feminized seeds from ILGM, so ill pull any I see going bad and be happy with having something in the end.
4 of the bag seeds were the same and are the biggest plants so far. It was only a few seeds in several ozs that we found so if it grows like that ill still let it go and smoke the hell out of it. It was good.

Right now theyre all looking pretty happy. Theyre on a low ppm of mega crop, holding nice color and height, leaves seem slightly reached up. Showing nice growth over the last 48 hrs since i started feeding them, most of them are decently into their 2nd pair of leaves now.

They can be 1 inch away from bulb. Just make sure you have a little air flowing over the top.

I have to fully disagree, i wld recommend at least 12 inches from the seedling as it starts... at 10 inches i believe i get 5500lumens, which is too much for a baby.imo. ive also seen burns on my plants at 2-3 inches n the past. Even w great air circulation. It may be strain sensitive, but that was w shitty bulbs and w more high end ones. I currently keep my full veg plants about 5 inches from light and they r very happy. U cld go closer if needed more penetration but id stick to 3-4 inches at the closest.. just my 2 cents

So am I.. and im sure lots of people wld agree w me.. but i guess if I have a different opinion, Im an idiot. Wldnt bother debating with someone who thinks like u, but plz feel free to Fuck off! Dick.
 
Already had my first issues. Everything was starting to stink like a pond.
I think there was either too much light getting down into my totes or I didnt have enough DO.
Topped off my pots with a little more hydroton, foil taped a few spots, turned the pumps and fans up, and changed my water last night.
I was hoping the waterfall from each pot was enough, but i dont think it was. Wanted to save some power in the early stages, but i dont think thats going to work out so everythings running full operation now.
Will be making a smaller setup to veg with. This system is too big for seedlings and small veg imo.
