Im still going back and forth between florescent and the new led. One will be hanging tonight. Im thinking about turning right before sunset and off around midnight
There are several ideas about when to transplant. One is that there should be several sets of leaves. I like the root ball to be big enough to make sure the soil won't fall apart during the transplant.
either light does not have to be close, basically start out with lights high!., 3-4 ft for a day or twoIm still going back and forth between florescent and the new led. One will be hanging tonight. Im thinking about turning right before sunset and off around midnight
Cool, thankseither light does not have to be close, basically start out with lights high!., 3-4 ft for a day or two
do you have cats? looks like it got ate
Yes but that's sort of the point for seedlings, they are delicate, some more than others depending on genetics, as you know I'm sure. I do only fluorescent for a week at least, but my current fluorescent is stronger than a T5, but not as intense as the led I don't think. My led doesn't dim, it's just a small one for starting, I'm sure the ones that dim way down are perfectly fine for seedlings as long as they aren't too close.this technology is super inefficient, only better than incandescent. stick with the led for seedling
Sometimes they are just duds with weird mutations. I've had them refuse to develop a root, only have one cotyledon, getm then die for no apparent reason... it's a always a gamble with seeds.
Yes you can plant them right up to their lower leaves. I start half way with soil in a solo cup then add soil as it stretches out.When I transplant, should I bury the stem deeper than it grew in the peat pot?
