Any info is appreciated.

Oh, and no these aren't the same seedlings from my initial thread posting. Pre-ferted soil was wayyyy too spicy!

Stay and Keep :jointsmile:
lol, yeah, if they have 4 - 5 nodes then they are definately more than ready for more light (i actually start adding additional light once i see the seedlings are firmly established, usually by the third set of leaves)

and i agree with you, if someone is willing to do the research, there isn't a method or a problem that isn't or hasn't been discussed here at this forum

lol, and yeah, most people that grow in dirt stay away from the pre-ferted stuff, prefering to mix there own recipes instead.
it's the only way you are in control of what your plants are exposed to
