If it's just for one seed. 23 watt 6500k bulb will do. Just keep it 3 to 4 inches above the seed when it pops out. If you don't have a 6500k bulb 5000k will do. Best of luck with your grow.

That depends on how many seedlings and size of the space.

Pre-grow in 1L pots after germ? (Autofl.)Not sure if i should put straight in the big pots after germ.
I’m going to use Batmix, but as this can be overkill of nutritions on seedlings i was thinking either dig a hole in the pot and fill it with lightmix and the rest with batm., or put them in 1L pots of lightmix first?

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?

Seedling with yellowish tipsHey this is my first grow and I would appreciate some advice. My seedling is starting to have a light color/yellowish edges. It is under a Spiderfarmer 1000 quantum board (100ish wats) and about 20'' from the plant. The temp is around 80 and humidity 40-50. Is this normal?

Wet paper in plastic baggy - outdated dirty practice?The old toilet paper and plastic baggie method for germinating seeds? I did that 2 times around when I started growing my own in the mid 90s. I didn't like it, wasn't resonating with me, obvious flaws. So I started doing it differently. Whats a better EZ method for home/hobby?
