Do I need to have my light turned on to start my germination!?
LostInTransit23started grow question 6y ago
Just wondering if I need to turn the light on in my tent whilst I germinate, I plan to soak in water then possibly transfer to a paper towel after or into my final pot, so in short does the light need to be on for the 3 day germination period?

No light until the seedling pops up, you can cook your roots if light hits them long enough.
Just warmth and dark till they show heads

Self pollinationI cropped parts of my plants last week and I'm getting seeds falling out of the buds as they dry and now also some falling from the plants in the tent, guessing it must have sprouted some male flowers.
What is best to clean the tent with to remove any pollen?Week 20
