your the one asking common sense questions.....so please don't question my knowledge based a litte bar in the corner.
I am really just concerned with getting the seeds to sprout through the soil, and just wasn't sure if this was possible using a MH lamp, I thought maybe it would dry the soil out too quickly and prevent the seeds from sprouting
i was under the impression that I had to place them under a light after putting the seeds in the soil in order for them to begin growing and break through the top. I am so confused. I've been doing a lot of reading and watching but they never go into detail enough about the small things for me to figure out how to do em. I guess they just assume the average person knows how to grow a plant already. Sadly, I have no idea what I'm doing, I've never planted anything from seed (or indoors) in my life. So the bottom line is.. I just can just place the germinated seeds into their cups of soil, place them on the floor in my dark closet with no light, wait a few days and the seedlings will pop out?? Why do they leave this part out of most grow guides (i guess they just figure people know this much already)... god I feel stupid
Most guilds on germinating seeds will tell you that. You take the seeds and put them in a moist papertowel in a ziplock bag and throw it in the cupboard above your fridge in the dark, check em in like 24hrs, some should have sprouted by then, and then plant them in whatever your grow medium of choice and stick em back in the cupboard and when the seedling breaks the surface, time to get em under the lights.So you're tellin me I just put the germinated seeds into the soil and I dont have to put them under any kinda light ?? they will grow on their own??
