Giving them a soak beforehand never hurts, but if the seeds are strong and fresh, my seeds always go straight into the pre-watered growing media of choice
It’s the most hands off, natural way to pop a bean.
I will add, I use a heat mat, and a vent-able dome to keep temps at 80f and humidity at 80+
they seem to stretch more under that lightingMy current run is from clone, but for seeds I'd generally grow them for 2-3 weeks or so under T5HO florescent before putting them under anything stronger.
Depends on color. 6500k cfl or t5 is best seedling light imo.they seem to stretch more under that lighting
not truethey seem to stretch more under that lighting
I’d hope not lolMy test babies haven’t stretched since they been under HLG 600r
Not for me they don't. You just keep the light really close to the top leaves. And I also use multiple T5's not just 1. An array of them. Usually start with one to sprout and as soon as the true leaves open I'll fire up 1 or 2 or 3 more depending how many seeds I've got. I use them for clones and preveg, have for decades and they suit their purpose perfectly.they seem to stretch more under that lighting

Oh damnI ordered two of them, should be a big improvement over the old style fluorescents
i use these.the main reason for seedling stretch is yes light distance, but also it’s all environmental factors especially ambient temp and humidity during day and night. anything over 80 is too high and stems will be weak and thin, under 80 stems will thicken..
anyhoo, it’s more than just light..
i love my T5HO lights..
