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.

Seedling tips?
New grower. First seed. Seems to be going fine with seedling popping through soil after 2 days. Now under 60w CFL about 6-8 inches above the plant and a clear plastic cup covering it. Any tips for keeping it alive and thriving? Been spritzing with water 1-2x/day.

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.

What do y'all think about this one? Scrap it or let it do its thing? I did a little damage removing the shell since it was stuck for over 24 hours.

Seedling sprouted but looks weird.
My seedling sprouted out of the soil, but it is totally white, and the shell hasn't broken off yet?? I've never seen this, nor can I find any info on if it's good still or should I scrap it??

When to transplant?
When is a good time to transplant from solo cup to final pot? I usually do 7-10 days myself. Also after transplanting should I start feeding nutes immediately or wait? I top dress with organic nutes mostly.

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.

Does anyone use rice hulls as a mulch? I’m trying to follow the build a soil way & he uses a mulch layer even on his seeds. I’m too scared to try that since I’m new unless any of you have had success while doing this. Any pointers will help me out a lot.

Seedlings under the sun
Does anyone knows what is happening with my seedlings? I placed them today for the first time under the sun. I thought they were not getting enough light. When I went to check on them they were all wilted and fallen over.
