Im about to germinate and plant my first seeds. I know if I germinate in paper towels its best to be dark. But when do I introduce light? And if i just plant the seed directly in a media without germinating, do i use light or wait?

You want light as soon as it breaks through the top soil otherwise it can stretch out and fall over searching. You don’t want light on the paper towel as that can cause mold. Don’t overthink it too much. And btw if and when you plant in the media be sure it’s not very deep. Just a half inch or so.

Then as soon as I have a little taproot I put into a solo cup of loosely packed soil. Or if it’s an autoflower I put direct into a larger pot. I also cover…

no light when put in the soil. Light on as soon as it breaks soil. Got it thank you
