Hi all,

Im new to this, my mate gave me is cabinet, 2 fans, 600W HPS light, auto flowering seeds and perlite.
He told me to put the seeds in a shot glass of water and let it crack then place it in perlite and put it straight under the 600W light for 20 hrs on and 4 off and the light at a hight of around 50cm's.
The only thing he didnt tell me was how much water to give them, when to give them water?
If anyone can tell me if the stuff he gave me and the info will make this weed grow? and also how much water to give them each day.

I have been told to germinate in water, then put them in perlite than water, then cover them with clear see through plastic to create a type of green house humidity effect, then water them every so often. light on for 18/6 or 20/4 then once the seed starts to break the surface take the plastic off and let it grow... only having a 400W HPS i got told to leave it 50cm's high to stop burning... so should this work for my auto flowering seeds??
Man i cant believe no one is replying!

I think the following info would be little helpful for u.................

water the plant like twice a week for the first couple inches of it's life, then you can get away with watering once a week..You want the soil to go from being wet to dry before adding more water..

ok thanks heaps, do you think the light is ok at that distance for it to grow out of the seed?

you could use that 400hps but your chances of burning your littles ones are great since they are weak. i would suggest a 40-80watt cfl light for the first 2-3weeks just so the plants could get used to the lighting and get a few inches bigger than you can have the 400hps but you dont want to too close to the plants because it will dry and burn.. how to tell if its too close? put your hand under the light and move it away from it. the further away you get the less hot your hand gets. also a 400hps waste a lot of electricity so why use it in the first 2-3 weeks on veg?? hope my answer/opinion helped you out man. hope to see some pics of your grow soon

i would use few CFLs or PLs or T5s when they are still small.cos i think you uploaded you wardrobe in one of the other threads..i dont see now reason why do shoot your esb bill up in so early stage.you dont have more than 4 plants anyways?ordo you?

[Dexter007]

and you shouldnt use shot class cos they are usually clear and you dont vant ny light to catch the seed
