if i got CFL's how long would it take to get my baby to sprout?
Mine was ready for transplant in 4-5 days flat
after a week their roots were more than at the bottom of the jiffy pots and no more space in the small black plastic trays.
Here is what I did
basically filled the containers with soil
55%peat then pine bark/vercumlite/perlite
NO NUTES/FERT/other crap, plain old water
mosten the soil well, place the seed on top and sprinkle some soil over, just enuf to cover it, works like a charm, I have done it that way every time and the first time only 1 seed didnt sprout and it was prob just a bad seed (it was like all my other from a bag) and I have even used seeds about 2-4 years old.
what I used to srprout was
2 18" cheap o cabnet lights
cant remember size but they were 6500k and 4200k, 6500 is best but 4200k (what they come with) will do in a snap but wont work well after a week they dont asorb it as well but it will sprout seeds just fine.
+rep if I help ya out any Id appreciate it.
i'm a learning noob and I try to return the help i got in here by giving it when I know it.
