Looking good! I placed my seedlings under a 400w, had it about 8in away (plus or minus) with no problems at all. Definitely helped with the stretch, if you can, id deff move the light closer. Good luck!

Looks good man, keep the light where it is for now, let your baby girl focus mainly on growing a solid root structure for the moment, and if it stretches a bit then who cares...and extra inch or two on your plant won't hurt in the long run as much as rushing the start of veg by overpowering it with too much light and not allowing proper root formation...this is your second grow so by now you should be figuring out that you only need tend to them when they ask for it. They look happy, so I'd leave everything just the way it is

Whatever you do....just don't overwater. Seedlings are so easy to overwater, especially if you have it in a rapid rooter plug or something like that in the dirt which holds a ton of moisture for a long time...your soil doesn't look saturated and the plants look good but just don't commit the crime of overwatering lol, let them dry a bit between waterings and give it to them when they ask for it, wait a bit to start any nutes and when you do start at the lowest possible dosage and go from there...and just keep doing what you're doing. Weed has been here millions of years before us and it doesn't need our help more than what is necessary and it will let you know. Keep us posted on this, I see good things coming from this grow!

I’ve bought some of this rooting accelerator, and I’ve also purchased some sensi grow nutrients by advanced, when would you recommend starting to use them?

That's a nice start.

After 14 days is a good time to start nutes. I have waited for 21 days but feel I miss out on a week's worth of growth.

As stated use 1/4 strength of product recommendations to start off. No need to burn them before they have a fighting chance.

id re pot the two in clear containers or wrap them with tape to keep the light away from the roots, my plants were slow a few weeks ago i worked that out to be cold temps, soon as i moved them they took off like a rat up a drain pipe.

where i had it was good for summer only when it started getting cold i was at 14c at lights on, something had to change even running a 400w + 315 cmh wasnt enough so i moved it now im getting 27c ish. i topped my special kush two days ago so it looks more like a bush instead of a christmas tree.
