Hi All new and novice grower here, and need some help. Iv just planted 2 strains now. A white widow and a Northern blue tut. I succesfully germinated both seeds in the glass of water method, they both had a small taproot form but as soon as the tip appeard maybe 1-2 millimeters i planted them in a coco peet pre nutrition mix. About 2 cm deep in soil Now the white widow did fine its already appeared and making progress it took about 2 days to rise above the soil the king tut however hasnt. Just wandering if somethings wrong or is this a stain that might take longer to sprout. and whats the longest youve waited for a strain ( maybe indica strain) to sprout after planting. Conditions might not be perfect as summers coming to an end, its slightly colder at night, but iv been told indicas do slightly better in cold than sativas dues to their origins, but soil is damp not wet and not dry, its basically an outdoor setup, but after about 4:30 i put them under a basic 100w regular garden LED. for extra light. Any help would be appreciated.

Howsit All First time grower here, and this is my first harvest, Went through like 3 failed attempted plants for various reasons, but finally my one plants produced what seems like a great quality and quantity yield. But as i know the job is only half way there, i now need to dry and cure. My question is : how much should i trim to ensure a good slow dry process / 7-10 days or so here in johannesburg. I dont have a hygrometer to measure humidity. So according to weather apps seems like its 65-70% ish which for johannesburg seems a bit high, but we have had allot of rain, and its seems to be cloudy here allot. Due to the big amount my plants harvested im drying in 2 separate places. 1. A small clean room with good ventilation (when the door is open) and cover from the sun. 2. Under cover by my car-port ( which i know is not great at all and could end up ruining part of my harvest due to the amount of sun it gets, but i have no other options) 2nd question: Is even a small bit of light going to drastically ruin the quality of the harvest? With my room i can choose to close the door for better darkness but wont have great air flow/ i can use a fan but it will dry too quickly then. Recomendations to either leave door open and deal with light or close door and deal with air flow. Here are some pics of the set up.
