Need information on the germination sprout stage.

I have researched this inquiry but I cannot seem to find valid information relating to the first week of a seeds life once germinated. This is the stage where it is in darkness and not suppose to receive any light. (Before it is a seedling, before it has any leaves) The stem has just emerged and the cotyledon is still closed. When will the leaves deploy and signal that it is ready for light? Assuming you use soil / peat / other type earth based starters, would the seed ever need to be watered again during this time other than the initial soaking of the medium in preparation for sowing.

That attachment was unrelated and thus removed.

Sounds like you need to do more research. When my seeds go in soil they go under the light. That way if they pop they are getting light right away.

I'm also a new grower and I questioned this too when I planted my first seeds (couple months ago). The prior experience I had was growing microgreens and those are supposed to be left in the dark to promote longer and more tender stems. If left in the dark it simulates they are still underground and they will keep growing taller searching for light. This is the opposite of what we want for cannabis.
