I very strongly agree with this. There's the added bonus that starting in smaller pots allows you to bunch small plants close together and maintain the ideal continuous canopy that does not 'lose' light to the soil surface, making your overall use of your available watts most efficient.
stinkyattic Reviewed by stinkyattic on . Beginning a grow, question on soil and seeds Firstly, how can I tell if my seeds are healthy enough to grow. Should they be hard/soft green/dark green etc? I have read that I should not introduce fertilizer when planting seeds. Is planting the seed in a nutrient rich soil all I need to do to in order for it to grow? Should light be introduced only after it was grown above the soil? How long after it was sprouted should I introduce fertilizer? I was thinking of using something like with 25 percent nitrogen, any suggestions? What Rating: 5
