lights during germination/tap root period?

UpInSmoke420started grow question 5 years ago

Might be abut of a silly question... but I've just germinated 2 seeds, their tap roots are showing so have planted em.. the question is now do they need light at the moment? Or is that only when they show 1st signs of top growth? Thanks in advance.

Don't need light just heat but the light helps her figure out where to go. Will get stringy stalks if can find the light.

I put seeds right under light they pop and stay under light. Did you plant the seed where the tap root comes out of it pointing upwards? Tap root does a u turn and grows down. Cheers

Trichomes mostly cloudy?How do the trichomes look to you? I have a hard time telling if they are mostly clear or cloudy. This plant has lost quite a bit of leaf material due to deficiencies in the last weeks, therefore I am not sure if I should harvest earlier instead of in 2 weeks.

Is this Shell membrane crucial to life? Will this bag-seed Seedling survive?Will it survive? The seed was pried open with saliva and pruners once it broke soil. I see some brown (what I suspect to be) membrane that maybe needed to stay with the cotyledon.

When to harvest?Beginner question: Would you say this is ready to harvest soon or should I wait some more? Leaves turning autumn colors, 3/4 of pistils turned orange. Trichomes look rather clear, but some on the head bud are amber already. RQS says 8-9 weeks. Starting week 9 soon.

Genetics or budrot?Hi all, my Royal Jack Auto from RQS is in 7th to 8th week and on the tip of the main cola these red, brownish spots appeared. Humidity has been 50% yesterday and before 40-45%, plenty ventilation in the tent. Around 24 to 28 °C. Could this be the start of budrot or am I paranoid?
