Hello @BuxomHobbit ! Usually after 10-12 days they are ready for the big lights. But be careful not to put them very close. Also man that soil looks very very bad. It looks very loamy. I hope you won't have problems with over water and deficiencies ! For your next grow or if and when you transplant use a compost rich soil with a lot of perlite for good aeration... Happy growing! 👊

IMO -move ‘er any time and she should be just fine. That said, if you have an option for a less powerful light like a cfl then I would also agree with @stick - seedlings love this light in the early stages and it can speed up/increase growth rate in the right conditions. Best of luck this one’ll be interesting 👍👊

Hello ! You can move her right now but be sure that the soil is not drying quickly and that the Relative Humidity should be at least 70%. Hope it will help you 😁👍

I would recommend to give them "Seedling light" aweaker kind of Blue/ green spectrum light. there are led lamps avialable with about 26 watts that should be nice until she is big enough for the "big" lights. Look at the growshop of your trust. its worth and you can use the lamps everytime as additional light something like this https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B01HO2OIHW/ref=s9_acsd_top_hd_bw_b4gDw63_c_x_w/259-2718773-0456461?pf_rd_m=A3JWKAKR8XB7XF&pf_rd_s=merchandised-search-3&pf_rd_r=WQ4F1J5W3FP274C8H4N7&pf_rd_r=WQ4F1J5W3FP274C8H4N7&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=9ecdae47-2bb7-5dec-a209-ff1cfb6da96e&pf_rd_p=9ecdae47-2bb7-5dec-a209-ff1cfb6da96e&pf_rd_i=4288459031

hey man i had the same as you, basically you can move her whenever. she might even enjoy it. What i noticed is that so much light stresses out the little seedling though. for mine i had them under 600W 24/7, but when i got a dimmer and used that, they were much happier. So moral of the story, light yes, but when the plant is so small you don t need to go full throttle because less leaves mean less energy needed ;-)

Anytime you like. Autos love light. Just be sure to keep a safe distance from the light to plant. Good luck!👍

Hi @BuxomHobbit! This small baby is very sensitive to heat & light stress, 600w hps is quite violent for such a young seedling. I would wait until the plant has developed at least 4 « medium size » leaves and a good rooting system, this should be done by week 2-3. For the 10-15 first days you can use a cheap led bulb, I grow my seedlings under IKEA 16w full spectrum bulbs. Hope this will help, keep us up-to-date ánd happy growing 👊
