This is more in referance to something that has an established root system. A seed needs moisture to open. even then the tap root will only survive a few hours with bone dry soil (the top 1/2 inch) so I would recommend against this but do what works for you.
AWESOME SAUCE MAN! I'm excited for you! I remember when mine sprouted! I was stoked! I'm on my way to the greatest buds ever!So I was moving my pots, and what did I saw? something trying to stick its lil heads above the ground, super excited so I think in next couple of days I should see some sprouting in both of my pots, like I said super excited lol.
Thank You sir.
its a Lowryder Diesel Ryder the other one is G13 NL didn't sprout yet but it will be either today or tomorrow I should see something above the ground in the G13 NL pot, so just a lil update and a picture of a newborn girl 
I got a pick a name for her lol, I was thinking about Mercedes
RW yeah I know, I'm just lil bit excited, I'm happy that lil girl poped her head above the ground...I'm in it for a long run
I'm not doing anything rash. I'll just let it be...just water, some nutes later on and that's it, the rest is up to mother naturelol man if u read the first few pages of my thread...you can be as excited as you want! rw is right about pacing yourself, it applies to all the aspects of growing. dont do anything rash. being excited about new sproutlings and naming them isnt overkill in my book however lol. i love the name mercedes. works.
anyway dabumps, acid watered the cups he planted in before the seeds went in (obviously) and therefore, especially considering the soil mix he used, wont need to water again probably for a good long while. i didnt water after planting for 2 and a half weeks, and only watered then cause it was transplanting time. read my post a lil more carefully, and you will see that we are suggesting the same thing
Thx, yeah I already did that, switched the cfls form the side to op and the T5 on the inside wall..will see how it will work...so far so good
looking geeewwwd tho keep up the good work!
Thank you Rad, yeah I switched the lights and will see, and I didn't tell ya but the girls are not in the solo cups any more, I was doing lots and lost of reading and majority of ppl said that if your grow autos they should be planted rite in their final pot, so I got them seeds out of solo cups and put them in the 3 gallon pots, without doing any damage to the seed as we can seenice man sounds great! i wasnt saying you were doing anything rash, btw. just to clear that up! lol.
yeah having more intense light above is good. side lighting also good. think of how it is in mother nature as you mentioned. light comes from up. leaves grow with respect to that.
