I put my light way down on 20% As soon as the seeds pop I will pull it away to 30cm and push to 70-80% at 19/5 cycle. Would you cut the light completely until they push through or put the lamp further away on more or less light?

DWC water level for seedlings and throughout growth
Hi everyone. My net pots are in 5 gallon buckets, sitting so the bottom 2-3" of clay pellets are submerged. The seeds were sprouted in rockwool. Is this the right water level? When do I start dropping it to promote root growth?

Help these babies please! Watering very little when dry with 6.2pH. I can't get these growing. Should I flush? Transplant in different soil? Add nutrients to lower soil pH?

Seedling Height? See diary entries for a better idea.
I couldn't find any real answers on this one. How tall should an autoflower sprout be? My Gelat.OG Auto is 2 days old and over 5" tall. I know it's a light issue, but how tall should I expect to see? You know, a reference point of sorts. Thanks!

When to pot the seedlings?
Hi! When is the best time to plant the jiffy pellets into pots? They sprouted yesterday, and are doing nicely in my propagator. Should I plant in pots now and keep them inside the propagator or leave them a little longer? Or just plant them up & put them inside the grow tent?
