Should I put the light on before sprouting or not?
LostInTransit23started grow question 4 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✌️

What to expectHow much can I expect for a harvest from this monster. She's 4 feet tall and just gorgeous. It says the average indoor grow should produce 14 Oz and if I get close to that I'll be overjoyed. But what does everyone else think? Also how much longer you think she has to go?Week 14

Switching from led to hps for flower?Howdy, does anyone switch from a blurple led board for veg, to a hps or similar style light for flower? Why, why not? Is it worth the little extra hassle to buy and install? I like my led just fine, but wondering if there’s more to be gained in flavor, quality & yield. Thanks!Setup. Lighting

Back To 24 Hour Light - Auto FlowersMy autos switched from 24 hour light to 16 about 2 weeks ago to see if it would help make them bloom faster. Can I turn them back onto 24 hours or could that mess things up? I would like the most amount of light time. They should have 2 more weeks left

What you thinkHow does my Maui Wowie look. I'm just amazed this girl grew in a 3 gallon pot. According to the breeder I should have about 10-20 days left. Just started adding unsulphured molasses today and hoping it does what I hope from reading about it should have great results. Any thoughts

However, two have already completely fallen over and died. The one with the makeshift supports was completely flat this morning. Thanks

Kind LED XL600 series 2 heights?Hey,
I’m running 2x Kind Led xL600 series 2 lights and seen people running much much lower hanging heights than recommended (18inch instead of 30inch) and wondered if anyone has any PPFD or PAR readings at anything lower than 30inch or any reasons why they run them lower.

3 NL Autos from ILGM all started at same time, but plant 2 received no training: did training DELAY or STUNT plants 1Plant 1 has healthiest foliage but smallest buds.
Plant 2 seems farthest along but stalling out.
Plants 1 & 3 fattening. Just delayed?
Seeing amber trichs here n there, but lots of clears/milky all over.
Flush plant 2 for a week or two and harvest but let 1 & 3 go longer?
THX!
