Hello The seedling will take light in through the stock at this stage. The light it gets now will stop her from stretching to much. Good Luck. Chuck.

More light now will encourage her to start growing and opening up. I would put her under it now, but careful not to place it too close, seedlings love light but kind of the way NASCAR fans enjoy car crashes-- at a distance.

Should I put these seedlings in the open, or leave in the propagator?I've got these ladies into a 8cm fibre pot. Should I leave them outside the propagator where it is 40-50% humidity & 24 degrees Celsius, or leave them in the propagator where it is around 70-80% humid and around 28 degrees during the day?Setup.

Starting seedlings, which is the best route? Please help!Should I start my seedling right into the medium (Roots organic original potting soil which I have heard can be a little hot for seedlings) or should I start with Rock-wool first and then transfer the auto into the medium. Thank you!Setup. Strain - Autoflowering

StretchingBecause my seedling stretched a little during her first few days of life, is it safe to bury a small amount of her stem in the substrate when I transplant in a week or two? I'm using coco and perlite 70/30. Actually writing this down made me realize it's probably a stupid idea 🤣Week 1

Growing autos in coir potsI 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?Setup. Seedling

Seedling Stage, 24 Hour Light?The seed came out after two especially cold nights. It is an autoflower from mephisto. The shell is attached and I don't see any leaves yet. I have the light on 24/7. Is there any harm in leaving the light on 24/7 for a bit, when should I switch back to a 20/4 schedule?Week 1
