So you think they are OK for light at this stage? Like a simulated day-night cycle? Seemed logical since if they were outdoors they would be getting light but I keep second-guessing everything since this is all new to me and I don't want to screw it up.

If they're better off being eased into it by a window or something I can do that too.
I don't cover my seedlings from light at all the dirt will keep them dark and when they pop up the light it waiting for them. I would just put them on a warm window sill under a pop bottol dome till the get a few sets of true leaves then move them under the hps.
Chronic Chrissy Reviewed by Chronic Chrissy on . Problem mechanical timers (not shutting off) & lighting on seedlings Q? I've now had two timers "go bad" on me. This is a problem because obviously I can't be constantly worrying if my shit is working. :mad: I got a mechanical electric timer (you know, the push the little knobby bits up or down on a dial kind) and it worked for a day but then decided it didn't want to go off when it was in the off section. Nothing would override that. Now I have a second one (different brand) which is doing the same thing, except if you push the override button it does shut Rating: 5
