Using Peat Pellets?

[Kushaholic88]

I'ma first time grower and I started germinating 9 seeds (5 Critical, 2 AK-48, 2 The Ultimate) at 12 am on the 14th, after 2 days the seeds sprouted and I put them in Peat pellets.

I'm curious to find out how to properly maintain these seedlings. So far they look healthy I've been watering them just enough to keep them moist.

1. My first question is what are the best Lights and wattage to use at this point?
I was recommended CFL or T5's but I want to know the correct wattage.

2. When should I transplant the seeds? I want to transplant it to a hydroponic system but until I purchase it I need to know what I can use, Somebody suggested Rock wool Cubes but im not sure.

3. this early into the grow process should I worry about the humidity and temperature?

Your first question, you want lots of watts, cfls and t5's are low watts on the package, you have to google for the equivalent incandesent. eg, a 25w t5=125w incandesent. So lots of watts and more blue 6500k's or so.

Thanks bro I appreciate the advice. Would you happen to know the best way to transplant the seedlings if ima use a hydroponic system? should I wait til they grow roots in the peat pellet?

p.s. I cant afford the hydro system yet but I want to transplant them into something soon.

I don't know why your hyped on hydro. It's not for the average joe.

You got them in peat pots, thats ok, you can wait until you see shoots but not nesessary. Put them right way into 4/5 gal pots, good dirt, not miracle-gro, add 1/3 airator, like perlite, vermiculite, coco-coir, crank up the watts and blues 6500k and your set.

The nutes, read, read, read and read somemore. Experimenting kills plants.
