Leafy greens like lettuce and herbs like basil, cilantro, and chives are great choices.Daily Task: Check that light cycles are running correctly and that humidity stays in the ideal range for germination (between 65% and 75%).Week 2: Germination and Early GrowthBy now, most seeds should begin to sprout. Keep the environment steady and avoid overwatering.What to do:Thin out weak seedlings to allow space for stronger plants.Raise your lights slightly as seedlings grow.Monitor humidity and temperature closely.Common issue: Leggy seedlings. This usually means your light is too far away, so lower it to improve growth.Daily Task: Mist seedlings if the surface looks dry, but avoid waterlogging the soil.Week 3: Transplanting and Early Veg PhaseWith healthy roots and a few sets of true leaves, your plants are ready to move into larger containers.What to do:Transplant into breathable pots with fresh soil or your preferred medium.Add a small fan to increase airflow and prevent mold or stem rot.Adjust your light schedule if needed.
