Hi all,
Just put 4 seeds into rock wool in an heated propagator. 2 seeds have so far sprouted after 2.5 days. The other 2 are not through yet. Is it best to leave them in dark till the other 2 are through or put them under a 125w blue fluro now.

Thanks cain1.

Cheers Owderb,
I put them under the light about an hour ago in their own little tent with the light about 70-80 cm high, over the top of the propagator, but just thought Id check.


Thanks again cain1.

With using an 125w enviro I would get the light a lot closer, i have mine about 10cm above the top of my plants and they are doing fine. With all CFl's they need to be closer than normal HID's.
