Make sure when you plant them that you do not have the soil to saturated read my blog entry for today >https://www.rollitup.org/blogs/blog115-over-watering-scourge-newbie-growers.html

Your seeds should sprout in around 3-5 days depending on strain and how much you saturated the soil. You don't need TOO much light(dont use an HID if u can avoid it). Jorge cervantes says 4,000 LUX, but I don't think you have a light meter lol. I put my seedlings 1 and a half feet away from my 125 watt cfl bulb. If you need more help you can msg me. Also riddleme is a very helpful individual if u see him on ask his advice too.

they should break the soil in a day or two if you germinated

and water when the soil is actually dry; you can test it by poking your finger into the soil, or by weight. one of the most common problems new growers face is over watering, so take it easy

are you planning on growing outdoors?

outdoor is very similar to indoor when it comes to this part of it.

 

[blastballa23]

alright thanks and when should i water a week???

 

[Blazed Hippie]

when the soil is more dry than wet. again read my blog post on it. I explain what happened to me in great detail.

 

[smkone2dadome420]

seeds need to be in damp not wet soil for them to germ. to much water and they drown so to speak visa verse they dry out... i would cover them up in a glass or plastic wrap. they take anywhere from 1 to 10 days(including germ process)days this is noob to noob info should help tho
