Light queastion?

A quick queastion as soon as I germinate the seeds and then put them into pots do I put them right under the lights?Before they show any growth in the pots?

i would wait till they sprout atleast 3 - 4 inches or 3 nodes ... then i would put them under 300 w to 400 watt white bulbs. and 30 inches from the tip of the plant to hang them. i would also suggest hanging ur lights on a chain where u can lower them and raise them as growth continues then after 7 to 8 inches high change to 600 to 700 watt hps ballast lighting !

THIS IS WHAT LIGHT IM USING THIS YEAR

Anyone else? So what light do you use until you see signs of growth in the pot?

id say right away give them something to reach/grow to.!! After all nothing will grow in the dark, So get them under the light soon as you plant them even if its just 12hours light till they show which wont be long at all

or even a normal light bulb till they show then switch to your main light thats what I did

take a look at the pics in the journal they were stared from seeds in the blue container
https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/10217-round-two-1st-journal.html
they took 4 days to sprout then after a 10-11 days depending on growth
they went to 400mh with about 12-14 inches from tips of plant to light

mine go under my full rig 400watt hps and 300 watts flouro. BigBud is right give'm something to reach for.

even something as simple as a 26w cool cfl will work. goodluck

Well, I don't know what the hell your all afraid of, put em under the light. When mine sprouted, they went right under a 430 watt hps light. I also give mine nutes from day one. Out of 22 plants that are about 2 weeks old, each and everyone is doing well, except one. This is survival of the fittest. The sick one will end up on the shelf til it gets better.

videoman i have been looking at that light does the 30w of MH make a difference , I tied the lady down and i think the 430hps would give it what i need to get lateral growth.
By the way nice grow.
