Seedling tips?
RockDa420started grow question a year ago
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.

I would remove the plastic cup as soon as the sprout breaks out of the soil. If it stays to humid you promote mold/fungus which can cause the sprout to "dampen off". Only reason to have a dome is to prevent your soil from drying out while the seeds taproot is still small and can easily dry up.
Happy Growing

Remove the cover and water it properly.......spritzing does nothing.

Hello. Doing good. You can lower the light to within 4 inches to get the most/best photosynthesis out of the fluorescents. I don't use a cover because I want alot of light on the seedling to stop the stretch upward. Don't give too much water. and no food until the first leaves are all the way out. Your first one, I hope it's memorable. Chuck.

Starting seedlings, which is the best route? Please help!Should I start my seedling right into the medium (Roots organic original potting soil which I have heard can be a little hot for seedlings) or should I start with Rock-wool first and then transfer the auto into the medium. Thank you!Setup. Strain - Autoflowering

Starting photos indoors for June transplantWant 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 otherwiseSetup. Lighting

Slow/stunted seedling, why?One seedling is stunted, why?
One of the seedlings is noticeably slower than the other, it’s leaves are curled under and there’s a brown spot on one of its Cotyledons.
The other seedling is being treated identically and seems to be thriving 😕 (last photo)

Healthy Seedlings?Do these seedlings look relatively healthy? Anything I should monitor? Just trying to be extra careful since it's my 1st time and they're really fragile
They're 2 1/2 days, 2 days, 1 day, and freshly sprouted. Their size corresponds to their age, all growing at a similar rate.

Second seed had been growing wrong way up.Turns out my second seed was growing upside down and the taproot had been growing towards the light for ~8 days. I've since transplanted and the seed doesn't seem to be growing much at all; although it has changed colour from being a yellowish hue to green. Is it likely a dud now4 years ago

Seeds in 12/12Does keeping seedlings just the first week under a 12/12 light cycle can hurt them? I have some seeds that are not sprouting after 7 days, maybe it's because the outside temperature is too low so I decided to keep them in my growbox with my other flowering plants until they startSetup.
