@James0807 ....welcome to AFN brother man

- just joined recently myself.. great place this bro.. really cool people hangin around.. just smokin and chattin and growing!!

......and yeah about your question once the taproot has been planted and covered with soil.. it don't really matter bro if ur lights on or off - but for auto's as soon as they pop up above the soil its good to have some light going.. I'm new to Auto's too.. so I'm just passing on the advice I got

- I got a grow going on right now in coco-perlite indoors.. check it out bro - ............
