I was going to use the LED just as a supplement for now until I can transplant them in the next few weeks but I will for sure keep the natural light coming to them as much as I can.
It just seems like my plants are kinda skinny and not looking fully healthy.
They will rebound with more light. If you want to see what not to do check out my Plantdude 2020 plant torture grow log, it's chalked full of screw ups to avoid
I think I've successfully made just about every mistake a first year grower can make. Sure, you can read the grow blogs of people that know what they are doing and learn from those, but it's nowhere near as fun as watching mistakes first hand
Here are a few pics of the hickory Pryor (seed planted July 10th) in the heat of the day vs what it looks like after it's been semi shaded for about 45 minutes (no water added)
Another example from a young plant (think it was corojo 99 but forgot to check the label, seed started August 3rd)
Moral - don't be afraid of full sun once your plants are hardened off
Just for the record these plants are in pots because my outdoor growing season is probably going to end the first week in November. If I lived where you do they would be in the ground.
