Successfully germinated all 3 of my seeds under my bed using paper towel method and grew beautiful, long taproots. I planted them about 1/4 inch down, making a tiny hole for the taproot. For all 3, I awoke the following day to find they'd all sprouted. I've got 3 seedlings going - the most I've ever planted successfully & I'm hopeful I can actually do this!! I've moved the light down to about 6 inches, making sure it's not too hot (my TS600 doesn't seem to get hot; I held my hand directly above the plant for over a min to make sure), as I want to avoid "stretching." I have plastic ziplock bags with multiple ventilation holes cut throughout (to keep humidity down, otherwise it's over 90%; the holey bags keep it at a solid 77% or thereabouts), and I make a point to check them at least 3x daily to make sure the soil stays moist and remove them during the period the light’s off - from midnight to 6am. The question now is, how much bigger should my plants before I can remove the bags permanently? Technically, it’s still a seedling, and I’m not sure how much longer to use it. For the moment, the plants look beautiful and it seems not to be bothering them. Any advice for me?

What about using a wicking watering system to water? I based mine on a YT video using landscape fabric, rocks, PVC pipe (inside bucket 2 create airspace & water in reservoir), H20 & a 5 gal plastic bucket. Think it'll work? Still start it in smaller pot & xfer 2 bigger pot later?

Just a peice of cloth from bottom of the pot up and looped down to the reservoir. The wick will suck up the water on its own with no help. Yes it works well for starter but wouldn't say it's very effective after.
From look at your design will need wick extended to the bottom of the pot.

Pssst....if ya want a more hands off style of growing try DWC instead of a wicking system in general. Cheap to build your own buckets and very effective, and aside from changing the water in the buckets weekly and checking your ph values every day or two it’s pretty hands off. And you don’t have to deal with soil...lol cheers💨

I’m with @ORGANOMAN , I think what you sketched out there with the landscaping fabric being the only divider between the water in the reservoir and the growing medium will definitely keep your growing medium way too wet. I see what the first grower is saying too about how his fabric plants wick it up really quick, which is very true in my experience as well, but I wouldn’t want my fabric pot sitting in water 24/7, sounds like a sure way to drown them. You need more of a wicking system to restrict the flow of water from your reservoir to your grow medium better some how in my opinion. Cheers💨

Abandoned the wicking watering system & instead ordered the Big Power Automatic Drip Irrigation Kit, Indoor Plants Self Watering System with 0.5-30 Day Interval Program. Any assistance on settings and placement is appreciated!!

For germination you want your lights at about 30 inches from the soil. An auto watering system may make your life harder in the long run, your settings are going to have to change quite frequently as the plant grows and uses more and more water. Add to that the fact that you should be feeding plain water every after every one or two feedings....so you'd have to change out your reservoir fairly frequently, for only a few plants its far easier to hand water, easy to make adjustments that way also. But thats just my opinion. Happy growing.

Just planted my germinated seed and am hoping for the best. Grow light about 1-3/4-2ft up. I read contradicting things on the web - 1 site says high, while another says low (but not so close to burn the leaves). Which is it?

My TS600 is set for 18h on and 6h off. Just planted germinated seed in 16oz Solo cup w/light up @ about 2 feet or so. Good initial thorough watering b4 I planted, but how often should I check soil to ensure soil doesn't dry out b4 I install drip watering system. Any advice?

To keep soil moist, I mist when needed, give a small amount of H20 when needed (judging by weight/color of soil), & full water until some comes out the bottom holes every other day or so, when soil getting dry w/bottled water only. Is that right? As long as soil stays moist?

Cannabis prefers a dry to wet cycle when it comes to watering. and seedlings are pretty vulnerable. Try getting used to feeling the weights of your cups with dry soil, and wet, then check to see that the top is dry and weight is quite a bit less before watering again. Bags with holes are good to keep humidity up until you get some larger leaves. Make sure you have a lot of draining holes in the bottom or even the sides to keep the oxygen supply good.

At 2 weeks stop misting and doing the wet dry cycle....and go to bed, it's Christmas. Don't dome cuz it's root should be established by now not to dome👍👌👊

Its important to keep high humidity since the plant doesn't have a strong enough root system to provide moisture for the plant, a clear dome/plastic cover should do fine to keep humidity high enough until the plant develops it's first set of leaves and a sufficient root system!
As for the soil, let at least the top half of the cup to dry before watering again to aerate the soil and allow the roots to develop more quickly.
Hope this helps! Good luck and happy growing :)

When is it time to start adding fertilizer to the plants? RN they're still small, w/4 leaves in 16oz Solo Cups. How big should the plants be before it's time for that?

Wait till about week and a half to 2 weeks before feed and add just a taste. Nothing strong. Very week solution. If autoflowers your nutrition demands are lower across board. Less is better

This depends on your grow medium. Is it an ammended soil? If so not till the third week after transplant. If it's not an ammended soil I'd start feeding at 1/3 str when it hits a 3 leaf. 🤘😤

What is your plan with the plants? will you transplant them in a bigger pot later on or are you gonna go through the whole growth in those?
If you're transplanting to bigger pot then wait until the first set of leaves had fully matured (second set starts to grow) then give them a 1/4 of recommended amount of fertilizers in every other watering until transplanted, once transplanted start giving them 1/4 strength fertilizing with slow increase as the plant matures
If you're leaving them in that cup then I'd start fertilizing once the first set of leaves had fully developed and with a 1/4 of recommended dosage. Give it a slow increase as the plant matures.
Hope this helps! Good luck and happy growing :)

@Wendylicious, I'd say yes and no lol. I feel I'm still learning but have accomplished some things experienced growers haven't. I like to jump in try new techniques like training or simply just going Organic. I find Organic dumbs down the growing technology apposed to feeding chemicals on a weekly basis. Check out my diaries and see whats up!
