hi all

just came home 2day to see that my little baby wanted to take the seed off its head....so i took it off with no probz at all, and reavealed a scruched up ball of what seemed to be leaves...??
the coating of the 'ball' is white and it's mildly green in the inside, is this normal...??
No leaves are out at all,

24 hr cfl lighting works good for seedlings, that ball will open up

Completely normal,

And i would reccomend an 18/6 light schedule under florescent lights.

With a little down time, the roots will grow alot better than 24 hours of light.

This subject is debateable..

But, thats what id do

Have a good one

i would do 20/4 or 18/6. seedlings will benefit from the dark time and the roots will grow better durring dark time

dont use any nutrients for a few weeks

a good way to tell is when the cotyledons fall off and the leafs begin to show slight discoloration. its also advised to start at a low dose and gradually build your way up to the full recommended dose

if you are in soil does it contain nutes, let it develop a set of true leaves. then 1/4 strength nutes every other watering.
