I think it's best to start little bit after you place the seed in soil. The light will also give some heat to the tent and it is good for the little seedling!

the moment its leaves are emerged. can't photosynthesize before then...
you still want lights on before -- so they don't stretch when they first sprout. LED lighst normally ~24" are better at 30-36" for a seedling. any stretch, move it closer... any stacking of nodes with no internodal space, move it further away. if it falls over, move it away, and just prop it up, it'll be fine.
light is generally bad for roots. so if soaking longer, keep it dark. if planting, if it is burried a short bit, the seed should be pulled off by the time it emerges, but not always. wait for leaves to crack it open to the point you simply have to gently tap it off... don't try to pry it off. you'll potentially damage a very sensitive plant at this particular moment in time.
some say wait for an inch or more... i say get it in soil immediately, and i wouldn't soak it to the point it germinates. maybe, just till it sinks, then plant it. too many risks... touching an exposed root.. root in light.. etc etc.

Too close to the “sun”(light).... any advice?My plant grew close to 4x it’s original size during her stretch, 10-12” on day one of 12/12 to 46” tall. She’s on day 30 of flower and I set up a second ScrOG net. Other than blocking light to shorter plants, do you see any other potential problems this second net might cause?

Wich of those cheap lights would be advised under 200€ and that would fit both final vegging state and flowering?
The grow space is 80cmx80cmx160cm and keeping in mind that the weather along with the lack of ventilation budget limits my options to colder leds.
Thanks in advanceWeek 1

Nanners?Can someone verify my latest 2 photos look like nanners? If so, I’d love some insight on why my plants seem to be so light sensitive. Most growers seem to blast their plants with upwards of 200w with little issue. Mine is sitting at 80w 22inches and it seems to be struggling!5 years ago

Starting photos indoors for June transplantWant to start photos on a 14/10 schedule in April to match the lights around June 1st. Can I grow my babies on a 14/10 indoor schedule or could that possibly induce early flowering? I would rather not slowly adjust down from 18 to 14 before Xplant as suggested otherwiseSetup. Lighting

600w hpsWouldnt let me PM. I have a 5ft long 3ft wide 6ft tall white walled grow room and am thinking about a 600w HPS light now. Will this fill the entire room? If so how many plants should I plant? Will this one suffice? Would a 400w hps be more suitable for this space?
