I don’t have a thermometer yet ok so, i been letting the seedlings grow in whatever temperature and i have a humidifier in the grow on low setting but, I was wondering would y’all keep the room warm or jus let them grow in the house temps. They’re growing still I’m jus worried about them in the long run u kno

I’ll be able to get ph testers, thermometers etc next month, money’s low

Some good advice above ^^
Another thing I’d add is not let the base of the pots sit on a cold floor. Use cardboard under so the roots aren’t being “cooled” by the floor temps.
Is this out in the open, or in a tent? If it doesn’t get too warm (they like warmth.. promotes root growth as stated above)
You can always use something to section off the plants into a corner, and the light should keep them plenty warm.
What light is being used?
What are the rooms usual temps day & night?

I have the pots on some containers so they can be closer to the light, I’m growing in closet the temps throughout the day is 60-70+ give or take and i use the bloomspec sl600 on 100%

How close is the light to them? In veg you wouldn’t want the light at 100% unless you had some distance to avoid stress. If I’m flower that won’t apply. 100% is where you wanna be by week 3 at least (IMO)
Less light power means less heat, but with your normal temps inside, I really think you’ll be fine. They do like warmth tho. High 70’s - low 80’s.. even mid to high 80’s if humid enough.

The light is about 2 ft away from them I have them on 75% some times but also 100% most the time cause I see more growth in leaves on 100% (seedling stage)

That may be a bit close at that stage, but it it using less expensive components, so it may not be bad at all. Do they look ok? Any discoloration? Spots? Mutations?

edit: I figure pics are out of the question. Wouldn’t be a good idea for you to post. So words will have to do.

Just try not to over water, or over-love them at this young stage. This is where most error shows itself in ones process of learning.

Edit: try not to get into trouble. If you ever have to run onto the room and eat your plants.. I hope you’re appetite is up for the challenge.
