They are how small now? I wouldn’t worry to much about treating seedlings with anything but water. You could use warmer water and spray the plants if you are super concerned. Some spiders are actually good for your plants. It’s the tiny microscopic ones that seem to cause the problems. Normal spiders you shouldn’t be concerned about. So you’ll have to get a pic of the plants and web for better diagnosis.
My guess is most plants people tend to grow are photoperiod driven so if they are put on 12/12 right away I’m not saying they won’t sprout but if they are regular seeds that’s a budding cycle. Not a vegetive cycle. If your plan is to grow something and bud it directly from seed by all means go for 12/12. I personally don’t bud plants from seed and like to veg them as most people would. Also considering it’s up to the genetics to decide if they like that cycle or not. Some strains might not. Some might do fine. But again 12/12 is a budding cycle. If you have no plans to veg your plants and have very small plants. Ok...
Umm light does not reach the seeds in the soil and it has no bearing on seeds sprouting. Also intensity needs to be taken into account with light cycle but I won't get into that.
All I’m saying is most people tend to put the plant on a veg cycle and don’t go 12/12 from seed. If you want to have no veg cycle. Go for it. I’ve seen people do 12/12 and the plants are considerably smaller. So if that’s what you’re going for... Personally I don’t use that method. But to each their own. I’m telling the guy who’s never grown that most people use a vegetive cycle. I have my lights on 24 hours a day when I start them. Also I start other plants besides cannabis. I’m in and out of the room all day so I don’t like to mess with light cycles personally. Hey if that’s your thing go for it. Again, I’m trying to help the newbie. I’m not trying to grow small plants for myself. I need the medicine so I need to be able to produce more for myself which requires a veg stage.
Interesting amount of light changes. Good to hear people’s methods.
I agree with you. It's not ideal but veg is a phase the plant is in not the light cycle it's under. I just wanted to correct the fact that light does not play a role in germination and Infact seed exposure to light can have negative effects.
Ok thanks for that clarification. I don’t use that cycle so I can’t verify from experience.
Again my post was not about optimal light conditions but rather correcting inaccurate information.
Amen brother.
I agree with this advice , especially for a new grower , not sure of the Benifit of starting 12/12
Hey kanzeon , I wasn't referring to you though , I was addressing hedon with his kiss technique
I've heard that before but the saying I heard is keep eating lots of pussyThe KISS technique is tried and true! I'm also a fan of the KELP technique in general.
