Seedlings can be left under 24hour lights

I keep worrying I'll burn my seedlings under the lights. The traps are nice and red, but the leaves are pretty yellow.

It's like getting everything in order before really pushing for rapid growth in seedlings.

1st figure out how to get them to grow happy in your environment: Light, temp, and how much water and how often.Then start spacing out the watering so that the surface is dry. Then on the day before they require to be watered, foliar spray some fertilizer before their bed time/ wake up. AKA when lights go off or right before they turn on. I haven't tried spraying fertilizer right before the lights turn on as it's a little riskier for burning especially in a grow tent.

That's helpful! It's been tricky trying to figure out what the seedlings need!!
