Alright i got questions. So im going to run these babies at 18/6. They have just sprouted out of the dirt. Ive been keeping them moist but when do i start to actually water the soil? Also, is it ok for my nighttime temp and humidity to be the same as daytime? Is it beneficial for a cooler period? I hope not because idk how im going to do that lol. i have 2 controllers consistently keeping my temps between 76-78 and Rh 58-63

@sweetly I usually start watering once they establish a couple sets of leaves. Then you just want to water about 3" around the plant (going from memory). And as it dries up faster and faster you can extend out to the rest of the soil.
If you water it and the plant moves around a bit it is too early and you should hold off. Pic update would help too.

Plants like to have a 10 degree drift when sleeping but tbh I don't think it's going to be an issue. You just don't hear people talking about the negative effects if any.

Hmmm ok well if you say so i wont worry about it lol i really dont know how i could do that with a power strip unless plugging that power strip into a timer is possible. Which i really dont want to do except for my light.

That water ring around the plant is just from a vented clear plastic cup that was placed over each seedling.

Yeah, I would keep doing what you are doing until you see a few sets of leaves. They look like they are off to a great start.

Im so excited to see these babies grow and learn the growing process of the plant in which i benefit so much from. Definitely going to appreciate and respect it more as i go through the growing stages.

Autos are very fun for that. They cruise through the stages and once growth picks up you see new growth everytime you check in. Enjoy the grow!

She'll grow out of it... nothing wrong there 
Try and water the plant away from the stem which will make the roots grow out and search for the water. Make those roots find that moisture which will make a stronger plant.
Typically 2-3" away in a circle working your way out to the sides.

Ok sweet. I still just kind of mist the soil down and keep it damp. Should i just go straight to watering now?
