I have a ?? about using jiffy pellets. I have germinated a seed and planted it in one of those jiffy pellet seed starters with the plastic top. Now my seed has sprouted and I have put it under a 26w CFL. Am I supposed to leave the plastic top on the tray ? I currently have it off but I dont know if that is correct. Also do I start 24 hour lighting now ?
Thanks

You can ditch the dome. I also would change the lighting to 20/4 and not put the plant under 24 hr light. Then check daily until you see roots coming out the bottom and sides of the pellet then transplant to final pot and run it under 18/6 for 4-5 weeks then flower at 12/12.

Cool, thanks. I have a totally unrelated question lol but I would rather ask it on this thread rather than create another one with a second noob question haha. I am growing in a closet and there is no electrical plug in, in the closet so I was just going to run cords into the closet but today when I put the plant on my closet shelf to be up at the light I noticed something. On my light socket it has like a three way cross joint or something, and the two sockets on the side of the cross joint has normal electircal plug ins. Can I run a power strip off of those plug ins and I have my lights and everything run off of that ?? I am not sure how much electricity it can run seeing as how its just a light socket. Has anyone else ran into this before ?? It may be a totally stupid question but I figured I'd ask to be safe.

What kind of Light? I would play it safe and run a hd 4 outlet extension cord and mount to wall make sure to get one without a light. Hitman40

Yeah I guess I'll just run the extension cord. Its a really old light fixture in there and I'll be running atleast 4 CFLs from it so I dont think it would be such a good idea now that you mention it.

i agree with hitman.. i would try and find the heaviest gauge extension chord that you can, either like a 14 or a 12 gauge i think, don't quote me on that, but i am pretty sure that is the size i am using as i had the same problem, closet with no outlets.. i just ran it cleanly into the closet and stappled it up out of the way.. you may have to notch the trim around the bottom of the closet like i did so that the door shuts all the way and you don't damage the chord..
