Seed hatchlings

20170113_010223.jpg So these plants sprouted about 2 weeks ago. I know they look a few days old. I've just had them under a 85w cfl, but they have not had a steady or constant light cycle. I mean when ever I get a chance to turn my light on they get light. Probably only around 16 hours a day maybe 14, if lucky. Then I also took a 4 day vacation where they didn't get any light besides window light in the dead of winter. I ordered a grow tent. I already have lights. Not clf, but leds my wife won't let me use untill I get a tent, but today I find out my tent won't be here till a week longer than expected. So my question here is should I just keep these things alive till I get my room up and going or start over. I have plenty of seeds to start germination over and sprout right when the tent gets here and have a fresh start. Then I have these plants that will be 3 weeks old looking like 3 days old.

red stems = cold keep warm 77f is good

light green foliage = nute issues = add 50/50 perlite soil

find a cupboard hang 2 x25w cfl's 2 inches from the leaf

leave door ajar to breathe ...until tent shows

but even with tent these are tiny ...find cupboard .lol

good luck
 
Thanks for the replys guys. So will they be able to pull out of the current nute and cold issues and produce the same ends as a plant off right would. Or will the stress show in the end?
 
Like @vostok mentioned above ... Go get some CFL bulbs throw them close and leave on. You can run this temporarily and give your plants a chance to survive. Run at 24/0.
CFL bulbs run at very low electrical use , so it will pan out in the long run. This way if you got to leave they are ok. Plus , stop heavy watering ... Mist them every few days , no need to drown them ... They are young.

Once you setup your tent or whatever , you can start the 18/6 light cycle. These young seedlings wont suffer too much from your wonky light schedule ( some light , no light , i forgot ) just stick to plan.

I start all of my seedlings under good ol CFL - just to get the " seedling stage " over with then when they get maybe second set of tru leaves or so .... I move them to their Tent home.

Thank you everyone for the replies. Thankfully i didn't have to wait a week, i got home 2 hours ago and saw a tent on my door step, so their under one of my little leds right now. 2 cob grow light pulling around 200w. I will start a grow journal I'm thinking. Since its legal here in cali now i figured i'd go ahead and grow.
