Should I put the light on before sprouting or not?
LostInTransit23started grow question 5 years ago
I'm most likely going to be transferring my autos from paper towel into my medium, I've heard some people say have the light on before they sprout and some who say after it's sprout, which is the best thing to do?

The seeds wont need any light during germination. They only need light when they sprout and show something above the ground. So maybe those how keep the lights on before sprouting are just playing it safe or maybe they want to add some heat with the lamp if you have too cold tent for the seedlings.

I’m no expert, but during paper towel method I keep in complete darkness, once I’ve planted in the medium it’s straight under my setup, lights on with the rest of my plants. I have heard about keeping them in darkness until they have sprouted out of your medium but I can’t personally confirm the results. Hope this helps, good luck✌️

Foxtail Ready For HarvestHello. This plant of mine became foxtail. As the harvest time nears its end, blooms have begun to bloom again on their hills. Now the first flowers at the bottom are ready for harvest. What should I do? Should I harvest immediately or wait for the new flowers to mature?

18 weeks, but I'm not sure she's ready.The plant is 18wks old. Leaves are getting yellow, some buds are so fat the branches bend under the weight.
I'm worried some pistons are still white and I can still see some clear trichoms, but she's 3 weeks after the recommended date of harvesting.
Do you think she's ready?

When did the flowering start?The LED panel, after switching (Ts600 Mars Hydro), stayed slightly on even during the dark hours. I managed to fix the issue, but I'm not sure how to count the flowering period. The plant had shown some differentiation, a few pistils, and a bit of stretching. What do you think?

What do you guys think?It's my first grow (automatic, 6 weeks old) and compared to other plants, my plant looks a bit small/ridiculous. I give her 24/7 light (I read that on guides) is that maybe too much? What's your impression of her? I use two growlights (one from above and one from the side).

Why dont my plants grow towards the middle/light and instead concentrate near the walls?Looks like my plants are growing towards the wall and not towards the middle where the light should be the best.
Why do the plants behave like that and what should I do?
Raise the net, rotate some of the plants, then redo the net?
Remove the net completely?
leave it as it is?

¿Por qué no se desarrollan lateralmente?Tengo algunas teorías:
1) Exceso de riego (por problemas varios, he tenido que regar 1 vez por semana en gran cantidad (demasiado)
2) Estres por movimiento (debido a tormentas y otras razones, muevo las plantas de ubicación varias veces por semana
3) Exceso de fertilizantes?
