ive got four seeds just been on the radiator for 36 hours, they started to open so i planted them in pots and have them in a propagator at 75 F im wondering about weather they need a light on them or just sunlight? also if they need the light how long for?

Dude, id get them under natural conditions now as soon as practicably possible. i normally just germinate in the pot ( filthy habit, i know) with all the elements necessary.

Im sayin yeah dude, get the lights on if there already in theyre growing medium. :)

As long as you keep them warm and moist...they'll do just fine without light...they don't need light untill the break ground.

Light is takin in by the foilage( a little by the stem) this is the beggining of the photosynthesis process....until it breaks the ground light is not neccesary

Dudes, surely its better to get the light on so when it breaks ground all its neccasaries are already there, hit the ground running and all that?

Maybe its just my way of thinking but its only a matter of hours before it hits ground and i think to let it grow without what it needs for the first few hours is like badly neglecting it, lol

24 hours of light the first week and then switch to 18/6 or 20/4 or whatever you planned on doing. the temps need to be 80 - 85 and then once they sprout drop it down to 75 - 79

I'll give you the best advice anyone can...READ READ and READ...find as many pot growing books you can find and read up...learn your own methods...i see too many people these days pushing there plants...growing them in as much of a natural enviroment as possible IS best.

they look really good dude. If you can find some organic tea fertz...that would be the best thing you can ever do. Try to stear clear of chemical fertz, they suck, but if your limited on what you can buy then go with what you can. There are plenty of topics in the organic section of this website that has some great recipes for an all organic grow...once you go organic...you never go back!
