Hi. 16 oz is ok for whole first week. It's better for cannabis when soil is almost dry at early stage.

Should I put the light on before sprouting or not?
I'm most likely going to be transferring my autos from paper towel into my medium, I've heard some people say have the light on before they sprout and some who say after it's sprout, which is the best thing to do?

DWC water level for seedlings and throughout growth
Hi everyone. My net pots are in 5 gallon buckets, sitting so the bottom 2-3" of clay pellets are submerged. The seeds were sprouted in rockwool. Is this the right water level? When do I start dropping it to promote root growth?

What to do with the empty pot
Other pot where I have put 3 seeds, did not show up anything yet, despite I saw a root couple days ago. I am considering if trying to move the smaller seedling, from another pot where I was growing another strain that sprouted 2 seeds into the empty one or just wait with hope

Should I continue to veg?
I am now in the 5 week of my plants and we had a very rough start with nute burn and discrepancies with amounts. They have recovered nicely but I think they got stunted except for like 3 of them. Today is water change day and I'm wondering if I should go into bloom like this.

Growing autos in coir pots
I am germinating two more Fast Buds seeds. About to finish soaking them. Someone said that it's not recommended to transplant autos. How about those small coir pots? Roots are supposed to grow right through them. Has anyone had any success growing in them?

Seedling looking sick/weak/sad, please help.
What could be the reason why the White Widow seedling´s cotyledon leaf and the only 2 mini true leaves shrunk and look a little bit less alive? Background: 4 days after sprouting I removed the wet plastic film , day was hot (86-91F). Light 30 in from the canopy. Stems looks ok

Friends need your help! the leaves turn yellow at the seedling stage!
Friends, help me figure it out! First I will describe my conditions! - Tap water 110 ppm - LED QB288 Rspec 250 Watt light works at half the power! - Advanced Nutrients three-component Fertilizers Micro Grow Bloom now I'll tell you how it was! after they have sprouted! they were planted in the system! I made the solution on the recommendation of the fertilizer manufacturer! I added 1 ml/l of each component and it turned out 410 ppm! The second week I changed the solution completely and added 2 ml/l of each component, it turned out 600 ppm the yellowness on the leaves appeared after the first week! I thought it was a magnesium or iron deficiency! and I changed the solution and added 2 ml / l of fertilizers! I keep the ph of the solution within 5.7-6.0 drip irrigation works constantly! The temperature in the box is 23-25 C - humidity is 40-60% Inside, there is a fan on top that turns 360 degrees to blow the plants!

please look at my seed 3 days after germination and tell me if she is a goner
my germination pot fell while being moved. one seed got out but it wasn't rooted yet, I put it back in. do you think she will be okey or do I germinate another one? I damaged the tip of the root when putting the root in the hole.

PH problems (DWC)
I'm using 5% acetic acid (vinegar) to lower the pH but with 6 hours it's always back up to the original pH. A similar bucket with no aeration remains stable. Is it because I'm using a weak acid? Is there any way to buffer the solution to keep it in the desirable range?
