OK....I decided it was time to end my grand experiment at seed starting and pulled the plug on the 379 Swearingen 2011. From the base of the cotyledons to the root crown was 8 1/4". That's an Oregon State quarter for size referance. I wasn't even trying to use west coast quarters. The last picture was with a California quarter. weird. So I think my method is good, I just need to get brighter bulbs for the grow light portion. Part way through growing the seedling I repotted it in a deeper 2 gallon container and it kept growing taller. Brighter light and lowering, if not eliminating those 75 watt bulbs that provided the bottom heat in the begining.
