Ok the plan is to veg for a week or 2 after the i see the stem. then ill switch to 12/12 and lst the shit out of them. after i figure out which two are goin to be the strongest or which are females i slowly pull a few out. While this is goin on ill start Toping or LST. hopfully in the next 3-4 months ill have some herb. well thats in a nut shell so off to some questions.

I got done puting the seeds in there new home i got em under the light and i took a spray bottle and gave them all a light spray to wet the top surface. now do i need to wait a Day or 2 before spraying agin or just spray them once a day telli see the root??

After the root pops out of the soil should i water regularly (Daily tehn weekly should i only water them half way tell they get some roots on or water tell excess comes out of the drain holes??

After that how often should i water?

Thx for any and all help.

Day 2- Well no news on any Sprouts yet? anyone know the average amount of time before ill see any of my babies pop out of the soil? i know its based on genitic, enviorment ect. but just a ball park guesstimate.

week?
half week?
couple day?


Also i use a water bottle with a sprayer on it for watering and make sure the water is Luke warm if not just slightly warmer then room temp. i spray the soil to it JUST looks like water is collecting. IS this good or should i water more or less?? how often between watering? i know when the soil looks dry i think i need to spray it. which is a 3-5 times a day> is this to much????
Thx for any and all help

for seedlings you want moist soil, so dont let it dry out until you see it poking through. After there is some growth, then you need to pull back on the water, allow it to drain and dry, and encourage the roots to seek moisture and grow. It can take anywhere from a day to 5-6 days for seedling...however Ive had them not pop up for 2 weeks, then randomly boom there they are.
