some people do 24/0.

I disagree with this.. as the plant needs its 'down time' during lights off. So, therefore.. I highly suggest using the 18/6 schedule. The plant needs the down time during lights off period.. to complete photosynthesis... period. I've never ever had one single problem using the 18/6.. but the one time I tried 24/0.. I had problems. So, I stick with using the 18/6. I would recommend the 18/6.. highly recommend it.

As far as watering a young sprout... it doesn't need a lot of water. Just enough to keep the medium (soil) moist/damp. You don't want to flood the soil.. just get it nice and damp.

Nutes.. I wouldn't start any nutes until its a good 2 weeks into veg cycle. Anything before that.. can kill the plant. Also, you have to figure.. that if your using soil that has 'premixed nutes' already mixed into it when you buy it.. the plant won't need hardly any nutrients at all for the first month or so. After a month or so.. the premixed nutes will/should have worn off.. and you can then start feeding it your own nutes.

good luck man.

peace.

I answered your questions in the 24/24 lights thread you posted on. Sorry i wouldve posted here if i had seen the thread.

For spraying though just make sure the soil stays moist. You dont want the plant to dry out, and its a lot easier to dry it then drown it. If the soil has good drainage just give it a good watering and the soil will be good and wet.

davemeradith · Mar 18, 2011
