Hey all, title speaks a thousand words.
I placed my 3 seeds, all northern lights by sensi seed shop, in soil around 72 hours ago. One has sprouted, I thought it may have earlier but couldn't really tell whether it may of just moved a piece of perlite and didn't want to disturb the delicate Lil thing lol. Just checked it's jumped up around an inch further now, it's a bit yellowy to be honest. I'm also surprised it was the first as it was the runt if the litter, real small.
Should I now place all 3 under light? Like straight away, or each seperately as they sprout through? It seems happy where it is, or will a being it damage by delaying?
Thanks in advance folks

I put them under the light to start Before they broke the soil.

I soaked my seeds for 15 hours and straight to growing container about one half inch deep. All 6 broke soul but one was late and when it finally sprouted it died.


And now a little over 3 weeks later.

 
It'll turn greener and greener as the hours pass....as far as placing it under the light - that's your call. Even though they're the same strain they will prolly all be a little different in their shapes /size/ harvest times irregardless of what you choose to do now. If you do choose to put them all under the light, just make sure your light isn't drying out the soil - or the seed shells (if they didn't drop yet). The light can encourage them to come up though :grin:
Best of luck to you !
:Sharing One:
 
You can place them all under the light should encourage the others to poke out. Just make sure your lights not too close.
 
Well just had a closer look. The one that has sprouted has a small void in the soil right next to it, beneath the soil it looks nice and green and healthy. One of the others looks ever so like the other did earlier this evening.
Think I'm gonna stick under light and see how they're coming along same time tomorrow.
My lights arrived today too lol, cutting it fine eh? only one of the 6400 is working though, will just the be okay? Due to being skint it's only a 30 watt cfl
If I aim for around 6 inches, sound about right?
P. S thanks all

I think it will be a very good idea to put them under the light

Haha classic poster there hairy man, couldn't be any closer to the truth
 
I generally use 2x23w cfl spirals as soon as the pop. Keeping them as close as possible w/o feeling any heat. Six to ten inches is a good start. If they start to stretch, put the lights closer. After they get the second set of leaves they are ready to be put under VEG lighting. My Blue Mystic has been under a 125w Blue cfl from sprout and now under a 200w Dual Spectrum. Will FLOWER with a 300w Dual Spectrum with addition cfl lighting if needed.

Need to keep the grow area filled with fresh air. Intake and exhaust is very important. A small fan circulating the air gently on the girls. Make sure the air is cleaned out of the grow area quickly. Plants will use the co2 that is normally found in the environment and keeping the area with clean fresh air will be a big benefit.

To be honest I'm a bit disappointed with my lamp supplier. Out of the order one faulty bulb, one faulty lead and two faulty splitters.
I was hoping to have them under two 6400 30 watt cf from the off, but will have to wait and see how quickly they can get them out to me, hopefully they'll send out straight off without waiting for the old ones back.
My fan is on order, was hoping for it today, so fingers crossed for tomorrow.
