First Time Grower

Hey all, Darade here. I'd like to start off by saying this is absolutely my first time planting/cultivating cannabis. I have educated myself in the anatomy and most of the growing techniques out there, but I have a question. I planted a Caramelicious Fem, and a random Sativa from MSNL, I put 3 beans in a cup 2 of the Mixed, and the other my fem, in their seperate cups of RO water, and they popped 24 hours later, with just baby tails, like barely poking out, but I went ahead and put them in my FFHF soil, I have yet to put any nutes in the soil, as I wanted to wait until about a week after they break soil before I do that. It's been 24 hours since planting them in the soil, and they haven't broke yet is that normal? I have the lights on 18/6, should I of left them off? I have only watered them a few times with a spray bottle, just misting, only because the soil was pretty dry on top, I was keeping it moist. Humidy is 75-86%, and temp has been 74F-80F. I have a mini 6 inch clip on fan, with 4 modes, and a nice 350w ufo growlight, and the nutes I went with is Advanced Nutrients, I know I probably have made a mistake already, and will probably make some in the near future, but I wanted to just post some update on my plants as they grow, cause why not. ^^

Might have been easier to learn on a single plant instead of three. Oh well ... onward.

If you just transplanted, give it time. Seeds normally poke through 5 - 9 days (depending on strain) after planting. 18/6 is fine for lighting - but they don't need a lot of light when they are germinating.

I won't feed any cuttings or seedlings until I see that the first node is starting to take off. Cooked a few clones with nutes too early after rooting. And then it's 1/4 - 1/3 strength for the first feed. Way too early for nutes. Keep the medium damp with plain water until they pop through.

I only have 2 now (one mixed, one fem), sorry for the confusion I only put 2 in one cup so I knew which cup was which, to my surprise all popped, only planted two as I only had enough soil for 2 of those 3 gal cloth bags. Thank you for the advice, and I will post photos, and updates once they break soil.

Here she is in all her glory, I killed the other one getting impatient, but she disappeared in the soil altogether, I couldn't find her at all.

So I put a bit of soil in a solo cup and wet the soil, and just placed another seed, to germ the natural way, and alot less deeper than I did the other ones.

I am back into it again after 11 or 12 years. Listen to staircase. Easy on the babies. And if you do post to pick turn off the grill lights and get some natural light. Good luck Bubba

Thank you for the advice on lighting, I totally didn't think about it, I was so just so happy she sprouted this "morning". In about a week, I will post a update photo, and this time with some light. ^^

So I have another question, it's summer, and the wiring to our house is shotty af, so when it warms up (over 100 degrees), the breaker pops, well it popped a bit ago, will the breaker popping for like not even 30sec-1 mins, affect the plant?

The Fans are battery/usb powered, so they're not a problem, only the light for a few seconds goes out.
