24/7 or 18/6. I prefer 24/7 for seedlings.

Welcome to the forum! Myself, I run 18-6 throughout the entire grow. I also put my germinated seeds right into their forever home. Autos don’t particularly like to be transplanted. New babies need humidity, as that is how they consume water. Don’t overwater.

Bro, these plants do not get their water from the air they get it from roots.
Explain how a seedling outdoors gets water from the air!?
Omg!

Seedlings derive their moisture out of the air UNTIL THEY DEVELOP ROOTS.
Not sure where you are getting your info.

Ignore Harris. He has it stuck in his head that this is the case and will not let go of it and posts the contrary to what we all know to be true anytime the humidity/seedling/dome topic comes up in any thread. He flames on folks even though in his bio it says dont flame please and bashed some of my posts with baby pics stating they were crappy small stunted etc etc. Just hit the mute button.

The problem with @harris is he’s a keyboard warrior! It’s people like him who make forums like these lose members. Why he’s still here is beyond me? He obviously knows it all?

We do try to give the benefit of the doubt here until we don’t.

It’s called ‘foliar absorption’ through the leaf stomata. You can remove a seedling from it’s soil and it has nothing but a proto-root. This is well-established and part of most plants’ life cycle. That took 30 seconds to look up.
But you go ahead and stick to your guns.

I said explain not say a random word, humidity you think, so if I put a lot of seedlings in a sealed room humidity goes down!?
Actually I’ve done this humidity goes up, go check, dome a hundred seedlings in a small space watch the water drops form on the dome, they came from the roots.
So how is it absorbing water from the air not roots!? A simple dome shows your wrong.
There is so much wrong with this that I don’t know where to start.
We’ll continue to do it the ‘wrong’ way if that’s okay with you.

Forget this now, how do I contact your superiors and other mods?!
This has to stop, this is simply your misguided advice.
Foliar abs. of water through a cuticular boundary does not supply even 1% of water needs.
You understand plants use only 1% of water up taken, the rest lost from transpiration.
You’ve hijacked this site I want to ask for a a second opinion from those who can confirm the real science?
How do I complain that your trolling, ultra serious question hope you can point me towards complaining against a mod form!?
