Everyone has their own way of looking at that. Personally, I start the clock when the seedling is open, and collecting photons…. Doesn’t matter, really. It’s just a frame of reference anyway.First off I only soak in a glass for a few hrs max they are planted in media from the start. My theory is which I got from coco for cannabis is that the clock starts when water is introduced since there is no turning back after that. So why would I not start counting is germinating and sprouting not part of the process especially with auto’s?
Good morning my friend
