do i need light?

i got my seeds to crack and they all show root now. i know i put them in the dirt. now do i keep them under light or do they come up by their selves. when do i need light. now or later? thanks

Yes, as soon as you've got em in soil get em under lights. Standard fluorescents, or specialized grow-types (CFL's or compact fluorescents) are just what the doctor ordered.

Agreed, light on soil. I should add that I put my sprouts immediately under my 400W MH for veg. It worked wonderfully. HOWEVER, my seeds were germinated for a LONG TIME, 2-2 1/2 inches long before I planted them. That could affect the whateverness of the situation.

where can i get those lights and can i use a normal bulb like trought out your house. aslo can you give me the names of the bulb company

goto wal mart or home depot. their called CFL's. compact fluorescents. for like 4 bucks

Actually, the CFL's im talking about are the high-quality VHO grow-types. They're alot more than 4$ (mine cost me about 100), and are self-ballasted. They screw into the large mogul-base lamp sockets (the kind in your HID setup) and are available in warm and daylight spectrums. The common wattages are 125 and 200 (as far as i can tell) though they used to be available in 95 and 135. The lumen count they produce is worlds higher than the 4$ ones you speak of, up in the 5000 range. Ill get a picture of mine and ill post it some time this week.
