I would say if you have the light at 50% have the light at 24" you can germ the seeds and put them into what size pot you are going to use. I have seen people transplant autos and have no problem and some have problems, I think it really depends on how long the strain is in its vegative state.

If their 6 inch from soil is that ok for repotting and whats your thoughts on peat plugs for seeds then repotting when they hit top of seedling dome

I only use domes till they acquire their first real leaves but I open vents slowly also to increase air flow exchange. I wouldnt have any light that close unless it's like a 25w-40w led light bar. And Pete plugs work fine for photos, I haven't grown many autos, only have grown them outside, I know the basis of autos, I think a couple people here can give you a better answer about Pete plugs for auto seeds

Come over to the Trainwreck forum and join the conversation there. There is a few growers there that I know that do autos mostly and can help you a bit better

Sounds like you have a lot of the house tied into one circuit. I would pick up a trace tool from Klein at home depot. You can then go around the house and see what's all on that breaker. Sounds to me like a lot of daisies chains going on. See this all the time.

Volts x amps = watts
So if you have a 120 volts X 15 amps (check your breaker to see if its a 15 amp breaker) you should be able to run about 1800 watts on that circuit.
So as Oldchucky is saying, there seems to be other things on that circuit thats using most of the power. Flip that breaker off and see what shuts down, just make sure you dont shut off anything important like your heart/lung machine, fridge, etc...

LMAO! I'm sorry I just poured a cup and saw the (don't shut off heart lung machine)....
I'm frickin dying over here. Mid Florida 37F out there now.

The lights originally said 2000watts led but power drain is 80w each and also if they hit each other they would trip fusebox sockets switch there flat aluminium crap im sending back for full refund i keep all switches of apart fom fridge and gas central heater unit tv router my freezers in cupboard but is running of old elec box that i had a socket fitted so that runs off its own switch.

The lights or the circuit have one of 2 things going on. One you will fix with light replacement.
One of the lights or the circuit run has a bad ground ( prolly loose )
Or that circuit run would show a red light if you tested polarity.
The circuit demand at 80 watts x 3 is very low. The fact that you duplicate it by touching the lights points to the issue.
If you have a GOOD digital volt ohm meter I can run through how to test the circuit.
First step is easy. Ensure that the wire to receptacle in the panel is tight. Not sure how the UK wire but in the USA the standard is a clamping screw. If the wires installed in the house are aluminium tightening all of those wire should be a yearly maintenance item on your house if you can not afford to swap them out.

I did a little googling, very little, and it looks like the UK has 13 amp circuits! And I don’t know if they still use them, but they had some weird plug-in, almost an adapter type that has fuses in it! And it said the fuses in those go from two amp, five amp, 15 amp, and 30 amp! So if you have a two or a five amp, there’s a pretty good chance you could blow the fuse in that!

Or just turn everything one flip each breaker one at a time. Then lable the box. Process of elimination

not a easy thing to do in a large home with a lot of outlets. Two people with a simple trace tool is a lot faster. One person plugs into each outlet and the other trace tool can id the breaker in seconds

I had a similar problem with some lazy ass wiring this last year, had two upstairs bedrooms and the whole garage on one circuit. lucky I had a empty slot in the panel and dropped couple new outlets. playing with this amount of power and not having a multimeter/proper tools is a bit sketch.. I hate electrical, getting zapped hard af once is all it takes!

Been a builder for 40+ years. I always call an electrician. I never fuck with stuff like that. All the guesswork is fun, get an expert over there. I know you are doing some illegal shit, you must know someone who can help. My electrician gets a 1/4 lb every year, keeps everyone happy.

Yes! get an electrician. Getting advice on the internet without a diagnosis and thorough test of load and line could be disastrously F'd up. Especially since he's in Glasgow Scotland.

Sounds like one of your lights has a short in it, get rid of them ASAP before they start a fire.
