Hey everyone! This is my first time growing from a seed. I am growing an auto flower from seed using rockwool inside a humidity dome with a heat mat for germination. All the prep has been done, soaked rockwool for 2 hours in ph'd 5.5 water and keeping the temp inside the dome between 80-87 degrees. It has been 3 days now and this is what the plant looks like. Each day I air it out for about 3min. and check the rockwool if it needs some water (I would dip the cube about 1 inch into ph water for 5 sec). There is no light being given to the plant. Just want your guys opinion if everything is looking fine. There are no leaves yet, is this normal and if it is about how long before they should show? Does this plant need light now or keep it dark? Thanks everyone! This was written on day six and the plant almost doubled in length but still no leaves showing.
I've only done one grow and started in rapid rooters/soil. I did lightly mist the soil but had the veg switch on immediately after I put popped seeds into the RR/soil. Had my light about 40" away check out my first grow/journal https://forum.grasscity.com/index.php?threads/1423342/
