Hi guys,

this is my first post in this community as well, so thank you in advance for any support you're going to provide me :)
Preface: i'm a total total newb and beginner, i'm in quarantine, i'm running off weed and i wanted to try planting some: so no right growing medium, no ph test, no anything, i bought a couple of 50W led lights on amazon (LOL), and that's it. (i know this ain't the best basis to start from :) )

Well, i've got my seeds from Sensiseed Bank, autoflowering Sensi Skunk;
Went through the paper towel germination method, took a couple of days (first day i was scared about watering the paper too much, then realizing it was too dry and added more, the day after it came out);
Planted my seed (then i realized not deep enough, as the cracked seed sheel stayed on top of my seedling), anyway now it came off the ground.

Here comes my question:

-Please take a look at the photo attached, seems like the cotyledons are still together, even though you can see a narrow space beetween the two.
I know i should be patient these times, but question is: does it need a lot of light in this stage?
Which distance should i keep my 2x50W LED lights?
What about water?
Is there a "deadline" i should be looking to?

My issues: living in a building where i only get 4 hours of full light in the morning.
Will i be able to grow something with this hours of light + 100W Leds? (hopefully as the seasons walks by i'll be getting more sun hours :P )
How about watering? How much and how often?

Thank you so much for helping me and if you have any good advice i could follow i would be glad to hear it!

first off onl;y use one light,50w is enough to get her going,unless u have temp probs and need the extra heat.you didnt say wjat size pot its in so ill assume its a small one.i personally trickle feed my babies on 24hr light cycle,so nearly everyday ill water till it touches the edges of the party cup.maybe around 100ml.but rule of thumb with first germed seeds is to water when the top of the medium is dry.id keep the light 12 inches away at this stage.if it starts to stretch too much lower it a few inches

Hi, thanks for quick reply!
Pot is about 10liters;
Temp is around 21°C, so do you think it's ok if i keep both on?
Less is more, use 1. Also note that the skunk strain takes longer for it to finnish up (longer flowering time).
Check grow boss on youtube and browse growdiaries.com and you will learn alot!
