Okay so theres a few things, If some one could answer this it would be extremly helpfull.
1...How long do you keep a plant at 18/6, Before you set it to 12/12.
2...Does it matter if you keep it at 24/24 up untill flowering.
3...And How much light do unsprouted seeds need to sprout, How long?
Thanks,
Ok still new but will help with what I have read.
1. You can keep them as long as you wish. Remember that they will grow 2-3 times the size in flowering. I hear most grow to 12"-15" and then turn them to 12/12?
2. I have read diff things. I have heard to put them in 18/6 and 24/24 so it really is up to you. I have read both sides but still not sure what is better. To me you save 6 hours for paying the electric on 18/6.
3. New borns don't need allot of light. You could just use 2 CFL's for a week or so.
Hope this helps. Oh if im wronge im sure someone will let me know LOL.
The first two answers were ok.
You don't need lights till the seed breaks ground. Keeping them warm (not hot) is mandatory, and depending on the seeds they should break ground within 10 to 14 days, depending on how deep you plant 'em.
