First Time Grower

[Aquila]

I need to know if I am on the right track. I began germination the first week in Feb, and they are 2-3" tall after 3 weeks of growing. I thought I would start with just three plants so I didn't ruin all of my seeds as I learn.

One of the questions I have is when do I begin the introducing darkness? They don't appear to be big enough yet....I really have no idea how to add a photo. I have just learned from other posts that I need to let the soil dry more between watering.

I have been using a grow light, leaving on 24/7. I have them growing in miracle grow potting soil, indoors at about 72 degrees.

well, I uploaded photos somewhere lol

You can change the lighting schedule to 18 on 6 off. Give your plants a rest and the electric meter.

do you do that at this stage or wait until they are larger?

you can start them on 18/6, no need for 24/7, it's overkill. You want enough daylight hours to keep them in veg. and 18 hours will do that.

As soon as you transplant go into a different soil miracle grow does not work well for cannabis

Switch to 18/6 now.
