Only one plant per pot next time.
Thanks for the advice stinky much appreciated. I thought the grolux offered enough of both for both vegetation and flowering, but I guess seedlings react a bit different than in the stages of veg and flowering? well, that was the reason why I went with the grolux, quickly finding everyone has an opinion, I've read a lot of your posts stinky, so I owe you a debt of thanks already!

Someone (sigh ) told me that if I put the soil over too much of the stem it'd rott, is that BS?) - *goes to google cotyledons*

Update: have been reading No Those Are Not Baby Plant Wings: Cotyledon Leaves it was quite helpful for anyone else that might want to benefit from it!

Thanks again ;-)
