ok so my seedling jst sprouted today and im wondering:
is it better to leave it under 18/6 lighting or 24/0 lighting?
i want it on 24/0 to make it grow faster
BUT
i dont wana stress the seedling from getting no rest
AND
iv heard 18/6 will make it more vigorous because it gets rest
all help will be greatly appreciated
thanks in advance!
