I am keeping it under 24hr cycle now.

I am using Photone to measure PPFD, it's close to 200 at the top of the plant with these lights.

I worry I'm not providing enough light so I thought it might be good for it. Also, I might have to eventually move it out if it out grows my grow space, so I read a bit of conditioning is good for it.

Yes I have ordered a tiny fan for that same purpose. Over the weekend I moved the cup out under the sun. Otherwise it stays under these lights.

I'm just winging it I have no idea what I am doing. I got a T5 (8W) and a two of those blue and red LED lights 5W each. Before these I was using a CFL 12W and a tiny Red/Blue led bulb not sure of it's wattage

I have a 5 day old seedling whom I am keeping under light for almost 24hrs a day. Is that too much or should I give the seedling some rest? Looks ok to me but here is a picture. What do you think?

Day 4 update, plant seems bit leggy but I left enough room in the cup to fill up with more potting soil around the stem.

Turned out fine. So far so good.

Second germinated seeds died off inside the soil. however third seed sprouted and it's doing well (pictures attached) I put this seed straight in to Soil.

First of all you need good seeds that'll will sprout and for this part of the grow you don't need light. Second, good aerated potting soil. Third, once the seed sprouts you'll need light (CFL, T5 etc.) For the initial stages, this is from my little experience so far you don't need expensive...

3rd Day pictures

Things looking much better now. Haven't watered the seedling yet

Update: Seedling looks good. I can almost see the the next two leaves. I'm using a regular CFL for now till I can get my T5 light , it should have been delivered today. The stem was bit droopy before. I topped the slightly soaked soil with some potting mix, and gave the stem slight lift by...

no just one, if you're looking at that white tube in the BG its just the wire for the thermometer. I was checking soil temp. it's at 29C. Soil doesn't look very wet in person only poured a teaspoon of water earlier in the day over the surface before the seed sprouted.

Sorry about that . Yes it's a cheap UFO light I am waiting for my T5. By the way it looks a lot more green now when I first saw the sprout. What temps should I maintain for the seedling now. Inside my room the temps around 27C but under the tiny UFO light temps at 32C

This just popped out of the ground. Looks bit pale to me.

Out of the three afghan landrace seeds one popped out of the ground. But the cotyledons look pale in color. What should I do now?

Update: One seed is DEAD! Like friggin' taproot broke off from the seed, taproot had no sign of rot as it was still white in color as it was when i planted it but the inside of the seed where the cotyledons should have been was all mushy and brown and showed no sign of any development (should...

Gasoline or metal that's very strange to hear. make sure to handle your stuff with clean hands I guess

It's been two days for me. Will give it another 5 days before digging in to see what went wrong
