April 16 I germinated 5 seeds for 72 hours sucessfully. April 19 I transfered the sprouts to seperate 5 oz cups fill with Miracle grow soil. I have a 250 watt lamp approx 2 ft above the plants, I water daily. The lite is on for 12 hrs. How long should it take for the seeds to grow above the soil???????? | ||

 | Watering daily is too much. A five ounce cup with a seedling/sprout should stay moist for a few days, the seed needs a little air too. 12 hours of light is what you use for flowering. So unless your doing 12/12 from seed, I suggest running your lights for at least 18, maybe 24 hours for veg. Quote:

| I suggest you to switch lights to 18/6, and water every 2-3 days. Also seeds do not need any light to grow above the soil untill after they sprout. Quote:

|  Miracle Grow. Good Luck. Water only when they show the need for water - the cups are dry
