I had started a seed of sannie's in a jiffy pellet with perlite underneath and I woke up yesterday to find a cotyledon rising up. I gave it a few hours of light, changed my mind and gave it 8 hours of darkness, then set it up for 24 hours of light under a single 24 watt cool cfl, a fan cooling its coils. I put the light quite close (little cotyledon's first true leaves appeared overnight) so that the top half inch of the plant was inside the cfl spiral, surrounded by light. I returned 10 hours later and found the true leaves had grown, yellowed, and curled down and the cotyledon leaves were lightening in color. The tiny pellet was dry so i watered it. Then, I decided to transplant it, and I exposed the raw white taproot (pulling it out of the perlite) to a a small bit of air, light, and time before transplanting it into a pint of foxfarm ocean forest surrounded by an old, still wet pellet leftover from a prior germination attempt.
The plant is under the cfl again, but not within its spiral, perhaps a few inches away. i watered the pint until it drained out of the bottom.
any advice would be much appreciated
