Light or no light ?

[Reedseed]

just a quick question, you Think I can put this bunch of seedlings under the light NOW or wait a bit longer?

any suggestions is much appreciated.

ALL seedlings need light, or they can't photosynthesize.

Umm- you need to get them under lights for the first 12 hrs (minimum) after sprouting. Do it ASAP or they will stretch too much.

I plant in soil/coco-then place the container under lights immediately and keep the lights on for 24 hrs a day until the 4-5th node.

Sprout's within 3 days, so I don't bother with all the "internet wisdom" for germinating seeds, etc..which all take LONGER!

Ok Great I will do that and Thanks again !

Seedlings only need 40watts per sqf but put ur lights on 18/6 or 20/4 make sure ur lights are nice and close and u have a lot of blue spectrum or ir plants will strech to much

As soon as I see them pop their head up, I turn on the light. Otherwise they will stretch like hell.
