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.

Qui pourrait m éclairer à ce sujet ?
If we ever do germination during the day, it's better to do a 12/12 with lights on during the day and off at night. Or on at night and off during the day. Or germination at night. 12/12 with lights on at night and off during the day. Or on during the day and off at night?

Strange leaves on seedling
Hi everyone, I started those two a day later than the others, the cotyledons grew normal but the first set of leave is quite strange. The leaves don't grow opposite, but point on the same side... there are also some yellowish spot on them. I put a photo of the others to compare.

Solo cups vs clear plastic cups for seedlings
I'm gonna plant sprouts in solo cups, but thought it might be cool to use clear plastic cups (to see when roots reach the edges). Would it be bad to use clear plastic cups? Maybe the roots/soil won't like the light idk?

Starting photos indoors for June transplant
Want to start photos on a 14/10 schedule in April to match the lights around June 1st. Can I grow my babies on a 14/10 indoor schedule or could that possibly induce early flowering? I would rather not slowly adjust down from 18 to 14 before Xplant as suggested otherwise

Wet paper in plastic baggy - outdated dirty practice?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?

Remove Half-Solo Cup from pot, or leave it?
Should I remove the half-solo cup from the pot or leave it? I don't want to hurt any root growth. I plan on topping off the pot with more coco/perlite this week. I used this technique to avoid transplanting.
