First Time Grower - Help

[deem]

Hi.

So I planted Autoseed Bubblegum Extra (Fem) and today it's the 2nd day since I planted the seed after that I germinated the seed and got a little tail on it. This morning it just popped up from the soil.

My questions are:

1. I work in the film industry and have an Astra Light Panel 1x1 Bi-color that I thought maybe I could use in the beginning. I've tried to read all about growing with LED but I don't know if it's a big difference with this one.
2. What distance should I have this LED now in the beginning?
3. I have everything in my window. Should I also let the direct sunlight hit the plant?
4. How much water and how many times a day now in the beginning is a good aim?

• Max. power draw (Watts): 110
• Comparative output: 575W HMI 2kW Tungsten Softlight

The first picture is from this morning and the second picture is around 4 hours later. the last picture is how the setup looks now. I know it's a bit of a different setup than most people do so please be nice :)

Your light will probably be ok for a while , but you will need a different , more balanced spectrum , as time goes on . If your going to use led don't waste your money on a cheap ufo , I've tested many different light sources and you'll probably have to spend 500 to 1000 us dollars on a commercial system . I personally use metal halide , and high pressure sodium . Never got the quality out of led light that I get with 1000 watt hid bulbs . Good luck with your grow .

Thanks buddy for the reply. Yes I’ll need to do that.

So today is day 3 since I put them in the soil. Below you can see how they look. Is this a good start?

How should I think about light? Can I have them in my Window (direct sunlight) around 28-30 Celsius ( 82-86 Fahrenheit)

I gave each one around 15ml water 24 hours ago but the top soil is still a bit moist. Any tips here? Thanks :)

Your window seal if facing south will do fine . Are you in an apartment? If not put that spleef outside for a while , you'll see how much light has to do with growing ganga . The closer you can get to natural light the heftier your buds going to be! .If you have anymore questions feel free to ask . There's a whole world of growing to be done , glad you have decided to cut cartels out of the Monopoly on weed . This is the best way to help cut down on the war on the border. Keep things cool , don't show everyone your know your grow . If you're in a legal state rock on while you can , it might not last for long , I'm hearing from some tight friends in the know the feds are ready to jerk the chain on these legal growers . Smoke on !
