Lights and germination

MrsGreen_98started grow question 4 years ago

Do I keep the lights on during germination?? The seed has been in ph balanced water for 24hours. Planted seed directly into palgron lightmix soil with plastic bottle top over seed to creat moisture dome.

No, Keep it dark until you see the seed pop out.

Effect of cold temps during seedling stage?Anyone have any idea how cold temps would affect my growth this early? I tossed my 3 day old seedlings into their pots (started in a Jiffy pellet), and the temp went from 70 to 60 and stayed that way ever since... Thanks!

Help with seedlings falling over and dying :/Could someone please look at my two seedlings and tell my why they are falling over? I planted four golden goat seeds, which all sprouted. However, two have already completely fallen over and died. The one with the makeshift supports was completely flat this morning. Thanks

Sprouting delay. How long do I wait? Are lights on and fans running important while waiting for germinated seeds to sprout? I lightly water the medium.Germinated autos by paper towel method, & put them in soil 2 days ago. The still haven't sprouted out of the soil. How long should I wait? I'm trying to keep humidity between 60-70% and temperature 20-24C. The LEDS are on 18/6 and the fans are running for the pots. What do I do?

Why did my seedlings all die?My seedlings all died. This is the second time. What am I doing wrong? They germinate, I plant them in Promix HP soil, they pop up in a few days. I move them to the tent. Most of them never even lose their seed caps before they die, but a couple get real leaves first.
