Sorry, was joking around, with all them questions :slight_smile:

Not too much I reckon, looks like the little ones are burned already. KISS. If you’re adding nutrients, I’d stop that yesterday and water some pH’ed RO or distilled water when the cups have dried up and feel light. Keep doing that until you see the plant is starting to pale, indicating it wants more nitrogen again. Then go easy on the nutes. Start with half the recommended strength if you’re using bottled stuff. Don’t forget calcium&magnesium.

Do you guys think I should dial the light down if possible or turn it off all together

Then the peatmix you’re using is probably ‘hot’ aka, pre-mixed with nutrients, check it.

No no! Stick to your 18 off/6 on schedule… Assuming that you are growing photoperiod plants, but even if you’re growing autoflowers, 18/6 is good.

Hard science mate, numbers: You want to be in a ppfd range of 200-400 ppfd now.

“What is ppfd?” >> Google knows all.
“How do I get to know my ppfd?” >> You can buy a meter
“I don’t want to spend money on buying a meter.” >> You can also look at the ppfd chart of your light fixture.
“There is no chart, neither on the manufacters’ website or elsewhere on the web.” >> Buy a meter.
:wink:

LOL, new set of questions…I’m assuming you started the seeds directly in the soil. Like @MrMonkey420 said, likely too “hot” with nutrients for young seedlings.

Your other post mentions you had the light 6” away, and here you state using LEDs. That’s way too close for seedlings IMO and would cause light burn. I’m new at this too so just chiming in with my observations, take em with a grain of salt :wink:

Yep probably wanna add another 12" to that… 18" seems like a safe height to start off, whatever LED. You can always lower if they’re stretching hard. But look for a chart for your light.
That peatmix might be too hot for the seedlings indeed.
