Planted my seeds in rapid rooters for germination, in the final grow pot. To avoid the hassle of transplanting the seeds. 3 of the four have now poked there heads out above the rooters. When should I turn grow light on and water the seedlings. I am running a pro mix soil, with added perlite and vermiculite. I watered the soil 2 days prior to planting the seeds with water ph'd to 6.8. Seeds roughly took 4 days to to pop through. I added water every day to just the rooter area to keep it moist. Tent is averaging 75 to 78f. And 75 humidity. I will be using a 20/4 light cycle with a 600 watt mh/hps light. Just unsure how soon to introduce light and water

I don't give my girls light until they've reached a certain height, usually in a 1\2 filled solo cup. I backfill once they reach the top of the cup and place under my light! So it's really up to you! :headbang:

Watering is a whole other story and the hardest thing to learn, (in my humble opinion). Less is more, as weed needs a dry period in between watering! So let it dry out, but not too dry! :doh:

Also, a clear plastic dome will help hold in humidity! Like a clear plastic cup turned upside down! :headbang:

:greenthumb: Good luck! :headbang:
