I just measured it at 8" from the top of the plants. If I get any closer it seems that the light doesn't reach the outside of the three plants.

They are arranged in an order similar to this .'. The apostrophe being a bucket of course. The light is hanging in the center of the three.

Just curious if I'm doing this right.
Jus' fine, on the height and the lean.:thumbsup:

Blue light triggers phototropism.
I'm guessing they are pointing to the shortest wavelength leds.
If you have a room full of red lights and one tiny blue light, the plants will all point at the blue light.
That's why we put the blue lights in the center of an array.

Not sure about the early leaf tips.
Let's give it some thought.:detective1:

Too much energy applied to newlings will cause them to try to transpire more than their tiny roots and leaves can handle.
But, seedlings can tolerate more light as they grow larger.
Hmmm.
Might be it was too much light energy for the li'l crumbsnatchers but is now just right for ankle-biters and rug-rats, yah?

Suggestion;

Hit her with white light at least once a day to inspect for signs of discomfort or stress. There are several color clues that can't be seen on the purple sea.

I'm liking this setup more alla-time, brah.
Weeze

I'm pretty busy day to day so I will try to keep this as updated as possible. Grow space is a Secret Jardin DR100 (3'x3'x6') I have three buckets set up with drip rings and each bucket has an airstone and a flexible air tube in them. I planted the seeds from misc seeds I'd collected so I have no idea of the strain. They were planted in a bubble cloner in rapid rooter plugs on June 5th. They sprouted on June 8th.
