    So I could use some more advice since my seeds all popped and are up and running.

    I would like know at what stage I should switch from the T5 Light to the LED and since I will be running the LED at 20% how far should the light be from my babies ?.

    You can leave them under t5 for a while. Are they autos? You could just put the board at 20% ish power and hang it 25 inch or so away, if they stretch move it a bit closer or turn the power up, or both

    Not autos.

    The small prop will not work for long as the taller ones are already close to the lid.

    I was going to pop them in coco over the weekend and get them into their small pots for now and let them root that out before going to bigger pots.

    when I do pot them I'm going to have to use cut water bottles over them to try keep humidity up.

    ime, the larger pot provides enough of a humid climate surrounding the seedling.

    When these pics were taken, the overall humidity in the groom was low to mid 30s.

    Get a par meter and aim for 800 ppfd.
    If you don’t want to get a par meter start high and lower daily till you hit that sweet spot. I would switch to the led much faster growth.

    But the other not way to know a 100 percent is with a par meter should check these out. I got one from the hydro Bros

    Less is more.... Start low with the light strenght and up it till you hit the sweet spot.

    A par meter is rly expensive. Not many buy 1 due to that. Follow the plant is the best way anyway. Beats a par meter by a mile

    So your saying your eyes are better then a tool solely created by engineers for this purpose. Absolute nonsense. Quality comes with a price unfortunately want quality bud pay the toll.

    No fancy equipment will be better then touch, feel and look.

    You can use messuring equipment as a guide and refrence but it will never replace you eye. Best tool ever.
