I have 2 autoflower sprouts and they were germinated in root riot cubes. They sprouted 2 days ago out of the cubes. I have them just under a single 26w 6500k cfl for now. So my question is this. Should I leave them be for a few more days or should I place them in red party cups with seedling soil now?new sprouts.jpg

Wait for a minim of 2 sets of leaves, transplant to the final container, and light up the HPS. Since it's only a 150, you can get around a foot from the little ones, but watch them carefully. Good luck. Peace & be kind

thank you very much. So as far as cfls go for now. How many should I be using now? I have 1 26w 6500k over each sprout. I also have a plastic baggie over each cup to keep seedlings warm and keep humidity up. Is that a good idea or not?

If you have another one, go ahead and use it, but if not, don't panic for a couple days.
I have a 2x2 area, and no matter if I'm vegging 1 or 5 plants, I use 300w of mixed spectrum CFL's, but don't worry about having more than 20-30w until after the first 3-5 days.
I think it's actually overkill until like the second week, but I got 'em, so might as well use 'em.

ok thank you. I am using 1 26w cfl 6500k over each party cup. I will be using a 150w hps with side light later after they get alittle bigger. I have very low humidity here. So I placed a sandwich baggie over each cup. I am trying to keep the heat and humidity up for a few days. So is this a good idea or not?
