Today i planted my germinated seeds into 6 inch pots with a good quality soil including perilite , permiculite , peat moss ect. I have a set up of a 400 watt HPS light with reflecter, and also lined the walls with Mylar. the Tempeture reads 71 degrees and my Ph level in my water is 6.0. After planting i watered the soil with just distilled no fertilizer and put pots under 24 hour light with my light mounted 2 feet above the tops of the pots. I am planning on watering with distilled water once every 8 -12 hours or when soil is dry. I have a couple questions.
1. How often should i water the plants in this stage ?
2. How far should my light be mounted above pots?
3.When Should i start to intoduce the fertilizer?
4.The lamp and ballast is generating alot of heat ? , i have purchased a fairly good light from hydroponic store and spent 300 , is there any risk of fires due to over heating ?
5. When the plants sprouts what are somethings to know for a first time grower ?
Thanks for you time
