You can start them under a bloom cycle or veg, doesn't matter a lot. I run 11/13 for the bloom cycle because sativas seem to behave better under a shorter day, but I like to keep the seedlings in cups until I know they're going to be worth it. By the end of a month, if they're looking good I'll put them into the smallish pots for early bloom. Then upcan again in mid-bloom.

If you start bloom from seed, you'll save a couple weeks. Keep in mind that I use a mineralized organic soil in individual pots. Nice crop you have there!
