Should I put the light on before sprouting or not?
LostInTransit23started grow question 6y 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.

Iām no expert, but during paper towel method I keep in complete darkness, once Iāve planted in the medium itās 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 canāt personally confirm the results. Hope this helps, good luckāļø

SeedlingsThis is my first grow and waiting for them to sprout out, I first soaked them in water over night on a seedling heat mat then put them into soil in these pots and into the plastic propagator in a dark room, should i take them out put them under lights now or wait til they sprout?
